Designer Patrick Robinson constructed this royal blue dress from vintage silk kimonos. In a manner similar to Paco Rabanne, Robinson pieced material together – seen in the side slits – to create a unique design. Robinson has played an instrumental role in reviving the legacy of not only Rabanne, but also brands such as Anne Klein, Perry Ellis, and Armani White Label.
