Label Text:Bergdorf Goodman was an early supporter of CD Greene and first featured his designs in its June 1990 windows. In 1996, Greene was commissioned to create Tina Turner’s wardrobe for her Wildest Dreams tour. For this mini dress, he selected a sheer white net and Swarovski crystals to contrast with Turner’s skin, so that she would stand out on stage.
