Description

long sleeve backless dress black Incredible Fall 1998 Guy Laroche by Alber Elbaz Runway Black Jersey Re – Shrimpton CoutureThe twin of the dress walked the runway for the Fall 1998 Guy Laroche collection It was made under the creative direction of Alber Elbaz. Alber was at Laroche from 1996 to 1998. The final collection that he designed was the Spring 1999 show and then he moved to YSL Rive Gauche directly after. This dress is an obvious take reissue on the famous 1972 Laroche designed by Guy and worn by Mireille Darc in the film 'The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe'.

  • The twin of the dress walked the runway for the Fall 1998 Guy Laroche collection
  • It was made under the creative direction of Alber Elbaz.
  • Alber was at Laroche from 1996 to 1998. The final collection that he designed was the Spring 1999 show and then he moved to YSL Rive Gauche directly after.
  • This dress is an obvious take / reissue on the famous 1972 Laroche designed by Guy and worn by Mireille Darc in the film 'The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe'.
  • The dress is made out of a soft black jersey that is a mix of wool and silk. This makes it extremely comfortable to wear. It also gives it a slight touch of modernity from the original. 
  • Like the original it has that deeply plunging and open back. The opening on this version goes right to the top of the neck instead of closing at the back of the neck like the original.
  • The front neck is scooped and sits high up on the neck. The shoulders are soft and the sleeves are long. I love how he added a flared cuff to the ends of each sleeve instead of keeping them tight and fitted. It gives the dress a slightly more fluid feel.
  • It skim over the bust and waist with simple darts, adding shape around the bust area. The jersey makes it very easy to fit because it has some stretch.
  • From there it curves back out over the hip and falls to the floor. The bottom flares out quite a bit to pick up on the flare of the sleeves. There is an inset triangle of panel at the back to give it more flare.
  • The back is fully open and the scoop is deep. This is intentional and meant to have that same shocking effect that the original dress had. Even knowing of the original dress, it still felt shocking when it was seen on the runway. I don't think it's quite as deep as the runway version but it's really dependent on your height and length of your torso. I have provided the measurement from the neck to the base of the scoop below.
  • This is an incredibly rare dress and you may not see one again. I love the double dose of fashion history that this one has with the tie in with the original, as well as being an early piece of Alber's work, plus the documentation on the runway. A collectors dream.
  • The dress is unlined and slips on to wear with no closures. The black jersey has some stretch and I have put the comfortable range of measurements below. Its easy fit and stretch should allow it to fit a range of sizes. It appears to have been worn very little, if at all.

Easy set up
Size: 10 Person
The tent was easy to set up. The instructions were easy to understand. It was nice to lay out the tent and clip the poles into place. Easy to set up for one person. All the zippers work and looks to be well made. Hopimg it will.last quote a while. I'm 6'3" and had plenty of space to stand. Lots of room on the inside. Looking forward to using this tent a lot.

No Good
Size: 6 Person
Brand new screen netting on door and windows had small holes thus allowing mosquitoes in. Unfortunately the return window passed but due to weather we just got to try it out last week. Also floor had pin holes first use which I think after several uses will develope bigger holes. Very thin material. Also came with no setup instructions but that was easy to figure out. Like the fast setup that’s it. I may have gotten someone else’s return ???

Highly recommended
Size: 4 Person
This tent y’all! We are avid campers, to the point that we have multiple tents for different adventures. We ordered this one for a quick weekend getaway and I was thoroughly impressed! We popped it up in seconds when it arrived. Sprayed it down with waterproofing spray, let it dry, and packed it back up with EASE! We have only used it once thus far, so I can’t account for the durability yet, but either way, for the price, I feel like this was definitely worth the purchase!

Excellent tent!
Size: 6 Person
Well-constructed tent, it sets up quickly, with no hassle, I turned the tent into my indoor/outdoor in graving station with a couple of space heaters, the tent heats up quickly where it's nice and warm, my boss didn't want me trashing the shop, so bought this tent to use as my workshop, I have no complaints with it. it also has a built-in pouch where you can put your phone or whatever items you want to put in there, which is a nice add on.
