Jil Sander Red Sequin Semi-Backless Top, 1990s

Jil Sander is typically known for her smart and sophisticated designs but is also noted for spunky vision that pushes against the grain. A contemporary of the iconic Prada, Jil Sander offers a similar appreciation and knack for creating youthful, modern designs well ahead of their times.

This exciting circa 1995 top is heavily embellished with square sequins of red, white, and yellow that create an abstract floral motif on the bodice. The top makes use of defined horizontal lines to create a contemporary cubist vibe. From a straight neckline, a strip of black polyamide adds some contrast.

This top is semi-backless as there is only a polyamide band attached to the straps and front. Unexpected and certifiably fun, this top would make for an excellent day-to-night top that could add an extra spark to a stylish pair of skinny jeans or trendy trousers.
