{"product_id":"2014-philipp-plein-white-skull-knit-bodycon-dress","title":"2014 Philipp Plein White Skull Knit Bodycon Dress","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the commercial interpretation of the dramatic skull gown shown in Philipp Plein’s Spring 2014 collection. Produced for stores, this version translates the runway design into a body-conscious mini dress while retaining the intricate skull and skeletal motifs that defined the original. The Spring 2014 show was staged with an all-black model cast and featured a live performance by Iggy Azalea, reflecting the increasingly theatrical scale of Plein’s runway productions at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dress is constructed over a stretch-mesh base, overlaid with a substantial cotton knit worked into an open lattice across the body. At the front, the knit forms a large skull, with the eyes, nose and teeth creating flashes of skin through the mesh beneath. At the back, the pattern develops into the shape of a ribcage. It has a close-fitting sleeveless cut and pulls on over the head without fastenings. Zigzag embroidery finishes the edges, while the hem is split slightly at each side. A small but perfectly formed silver-tone skull plaque set with rhinestones finishes the lower right hemline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA strong alternative bridal or event option, the dress is in excellent vintage condition with no issues of any note and is clean and ready to wear. Labelled a size XS, its tiny and doesn't have a lot of stretch so a best fit for a UK 6 or US 0-2. Composed of 76% cotton and 24% polyester.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes on Designer: German designer Philipp Plein founded his business in 1998, initially creating furniture and accessories before moving into fashion in the early 2000s. An outsider to the traditional fashion establishment, he has built one of the few sizeable independent luxury houses, developing a deliberately maximalist aesthetic centred on crystal embellishment, leather, skulls and overt glamour. His runway shows became known for their extravagant production and live performances, while Madonna, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Fergie, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have all been documented wearing Plein's designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBUST - 32 in.
