Lanvin Haute Couture Silk Gown

Vintage Lanvin by Antonio Castillo couture gown in "rose ash" coloured silk. Antonio Castillo created collections for Lanvin fashion house from 1950 to 1962, and it is his appointment that heralded the brand's relaunch. Contemporaries compared Castillo's art of cutting to Dior and Balenciaga creations and said that Lanvin gowns are equally delicate and beautiful. This feminine, sweet and at the same time dramatic slim silhouette gown, with sleeveless bodice, square cleavage, luxurious full collar and wide pleated skirt is an excellent example of Antonio Castillo's style and mastership.
