Silk chiffon
Gift of Hans Schreiber
Object number96.39.1
The front of this dress was intentionally left unfinished, yet Hans Schreiber brought an elegant aspect to the look by individually layering strips of frayed silk chiffon. Like his predecessors, Martin Margiela and Ann Demeulemeester, Schreiber attended the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Belgium, which has been called “the training ground for deconstructionism.”
DescriptionShell Dress: short sleeveless evening shift in silk chiffon in shades of light purple and ochre yellow / brown, pieced and stitched with irregular horizontal stripes on front, back swirl effect; collarless, back wrap styling with deconstructivist exposed seams, unfinished edgesCollections
