1970s Halston Beaded & Gold Pearl Organza Sleeveless Tunic Top

Halston, according to some, invented the American look. With many of innovations in fabrications, Halston’s appeal is in the elegance of simplicity. Reflected in this 1970s vintage tunic, Halton designs tend to boast a demure silhouette and an exquisite fabric detail or vice-versa. Hand embroidered with thousands of gold, glass bugle beads and pearls this sleeveless tunic references the Byzantine era.

The detailed embroidery creates a swilling motif as the visual labyrinth moves across the silk organza base. In between areas of beading, open crochet accents add additional texture to the garment. The circular rhythm is continued in the rounded scoop neck like and the slightly curved hem that sweeps up on either side into two slits. A dazzling garment such as this works wonders alone or layered with a sharp blazer to make the gold beadwork really shine.
