Paraphernalia was a New York boutique with a minimalist silver and white interior that catered to a young clientele. This mini dress features a concentric design, a nod to the extraordinarily influential op-art movement, which used optical illusions to create a sense of movement and depth. Art itself became a fashion motif during the 1960s.
