Vintage Valentino Ivory Silk Red Leaves Beaded Long Evening Coat

Valentino designs have an underlying dramatic wonder to them. The silhouette, the fabric, the detail all come together in a spectacular showcase of a fresh aesthetic or a nostalgic design. This keen style had led to the house designing for notable figures such as Jackie Kennedy. Keeping in touch with a whimsical feel, this vintage 1990s Valentino evening coat is made in an exquisite ivory silk.

A detailed leaf and branch motif decorate the garment throughout. Created from the hand embroidery done in red silk floss, each leaf is accented with beading and outlined in silver thread. A boxy silhouette is given interest through the embroidery as well as the dramatic collar that wings just over the shoulder. The hem falls at about calf level allowing the white sheen to dance across the entire body.
