Elizabeth Taylor famously chose a medieval style gown for her second marriage to Richard Burton and she was very popular with Diana, Princess of Wales, who wore a near identical dress on her tour of Canada in 1983 (as pictured).

The gathered sleeves tie with a ribbon at the cuff, whilst the intricate bodice has an integral caplet overlay to the cotton blouse element. Gina often used antique lace in her work and there is a lavish amount of beautiful machine lace and ruffle trim, interwoven with a cream ribbon to match the silk.

The sequins slightly overlay each other like fish scales. From a distance, the sequins collude to give an almost impressionistic or pointillism look and it reminds us of the work of Georges Seurat. It has an asymmetrical neckline and the bodice has been darted with ruching the opposite side to the shoulder strap.

His catwalk shows are remembered for his beautifully tailored, comfortable daywear and classic, elegant eveningwear. At the beginning of his career in the 1960s he designed for Nina Ricci and Courreges in Paris. After branching out on his own, he ran a successful haute couture and ready to wear fashion house in Rome from the 1970s until his death in 1984.

Saint Laurent was inspired by the work of the artist, Henri Matisse for several notable collections and the jacket really epitomises the bright colour and abstract print trends of the late 70s and early 80s.

The neck, cuffs, and opening seams are all finished with black piping detail, and the shoulders are padded to create the designer's signature, structured silhouette. The fabric itself is a black silk with a seashell print in striking colours of deep orange, red, blue, green and white. The jacket fastens at the front with a six black glass button and is lined in a lovely soft black silky fabric.

Throughout the fashion House's history, Chloe has always subscribed to fabulous attention to detail and quality fabrics; none more so than when Mr Lagerfeld was creative director - not once but twice. An immense but virtually unknown talent when he joined the founder, Gaby Aghion, in 1964, he left to revive the then faded House of Chanel nearly 20 years later in 1983.

He also worked extensively with silk taffeta during the 70s and 80s. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe condition is absolutely fabulous with no faults of any note - it looks barely worn.
