Breathtaking museum-quality Christian Dior Haute Couture two piece ensemble dating back to his Fall-Winter 1952 collection. While the House of Dior is still a thriving business today, Dior's untimely death in 1957 left the fashion world without a great dictator of style. Christian Dior designed under his own name for only a decade, but his influence is everlasting. Here is a rare opportunity to own a breathtaking dress set from Dior himself before passing away. This two piece from his 1952 collection is fashioned in a gorgeous black fully-lined nubble wool. The dress has an elegant wide-strap button trimmed sleeveless with hourglass nipped-waist. The figure flattering pencil skirt emphasizes a woman's seductive shape without adding any bulk or volume to the actual hips. The matching jacket is a statement piece in it's own right. I love the collared plunge double-breasted peplum construction with large side pockets. As Dior once said, "Elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care and simplicity." This classic two-piece suit is a wonderful mix of these elements. A rare piece of wearable fashion history.
