@timelessvixen: 🪡A Mid-Century Marvel❤️ This 1958 Arnold Scaasi couture red dahlias large-scale floral print silk dress and matching ruby-red satin jacket is such an epic example of glamour from this decade💯 Scaasi started his career designing for Charles James🪡 From James, Scaasi developed his idea of the body as an armature for biomorphic geometry during the same era that Saint Laurent at Dior was creating the pure geometry of the trapeze✂️ In addition to designing looks for various First Ladies, he created gowns for a number of renowned actresses such as Elizabeth Taylor, Lauren Bacall, and Catherine Deneuve👯‍♀️ This strikingly beautiful ensemble is sure to make you feel like an Old Hollywood starlet🎥 Luxurious silk, in the prettiest ruby red dahlias large-scale floral print, feels heavily to the touch🙌 The strapless bodice has intricate interior boning to really help keep the nipped waist shape⏳ I love the sculpted bubble ruched skirting, lined with a petticoat to ensure the perfect 'fit and flare' silhouette👗The matching ruby red satin swing coat is equally as stunning🌹 We were thrilled to see the same set on display at the Museum of Fine Art in Boston — a testament to the designer’s prodigious genius🎉 An original 1958 editorial of our dress ensemble can also be found in 'Scaasi: A Cut Above'; a book featuring some of the designer’s most remarkable looks📕 A breathtaking piece of fashion history in store and online now at Timeless Vixen💋✨ • • #timelessvixen #1950sfashion #arnoldscaasi #couture
