.. Paco Rabanne Style: 1960s Knit & Metal Mini Dress

..I have compared the metal discs on this dress to authentic Paco Rabanne, and they are identical, as are the jump rings. There are no tags or labels, so I really can't say who made this amazing dress. It could have been Paco, he did do knits with embellishments... it could have been an imitator. Its a mystery, but what is certain, this dress is ever so fun and very, very fabulous.

.. The dress was certainly hand knit, the yarns feel like wool. The yarns are irregular in thickness, so the knit has a bumpy, boucle look. The vivid violet, purple, turquoise and teal contrast beautifully with the cream background. The silver metal discs are incredibly striking, and add drama and shine to the dress.

condition: Very good, there is a few areas of the knit that have taken on a shade of green from the discs directly above. These areas are covered by the discs and do not effect the look of the piece.
