Fun 1970s James Galanos Red & White Dotted Jumpsuit designer-alexander-mcqueen Skirt: 18" from last sequin

Skirt: 18" from last sequin band to hem

A killer flounced bit of fabric in a huge cross between a bustle and a bow is attached at the back in a matching fabric - so fabulously dramatic

Each ankle gets super skinny and has wide fabric ties that you wrap around the ankles

This dress is a wonderful and early example of Geoffrey Beene's work and to me completely sums up the Beene aesthetic - pieces with a simple cut that had unexpected details and bold use of fabrics that made you catch your breathe

The hue of the exterior is wonderful - a coral red that has depth and interest

Fun 1970s James Galanos Red & White Dotted Jumpsuit designer-alexander-mcqueen Skirt: 18" from last sequinThis fun little jumpsuit by the American couturier James Galanos really showcases his more playful side. I love the bright red and white dot print that completely covers the jumpsuit from shoulder to hem. The silk fabric that he chose to use is light and easy to wear creating the perfect balance to the bold print. It moves beautifully once on and has a nice tailored feel that keeps the print from being to much. The top is cut with a simple scoop
