VALENTINO Silk Beaded Knee-Length Dress NY9000$ - Excellent Condition
Drape yourself in classic Italian craftsmanship with this striking red knee-length dress from Valentino. Crafted entirely from 100 percent silk, the fabric is embellished throughout with intricate red coral-like beaded decorations that are hard to fully appreciate in photos alone. Valentino is world-renowned for its mastery of haute couture and its iconic signature reds, making a garment like this a true representative of the storied luxury house.
This rare runway piece carries a unique story. It was originally purchased at Valentino's flagship boutique in New York City for around 9,000 dollars, a fraction of the well over one million yen it would command in Japan. The dress had been set aside for a foreign princess before its runway debut, but the previous owner secured it through a special pre-order before it ever reached the sales floor. Designed with a sleeveless top and a trapezoid silhouette, it offers a clean, elegant drape.
The dress is a US size 6, which fits like a Japanese size M. Flat measurements are: length 99cm, chest width 40cm, waist width 37cm, and hem width 54cm.
This is a pre-owned garment in near-mint condition, worn only once for a short time at a party and carefully stored ever since.
