Fall 1994 Karl Lagerfeld Runway Deep Red Cut Velvet Bias Cut Dress w Angled Hem Demi-Couture / (2) Erica Pelosini in

/  (2) Erica Pelosini in Balmain

It has that classic 1980s over-sized feel which is once again the rage

The skirt falls in a draped column and there is no seam at the waist so the line remains long and beautiful

I love the colour combination with its shades of bright tropical blues mixed with a soft orange and then pops of black and white

Fall 1994 Karl Lagerfeld Runway Deep Red Cut Velvet Bias Cut Dress w Angled Hem Demi-Couture / (2) Erica Pelosini inThis spectacular dress is the twin of the dress that was worn by Linda Evangelista for the Fall 1994 Karl Lagerfeld runway show. It also has the added provenance of being photoed for British Vogue that November. The dress is from Karl Lagerfeld's own label. He launched his self named label in 1984 and this dress is from 1991 making it a fairly early example of the work he was doing for his own label. Pieces from his personal label were far edgier then
