1970s Hand Painted & Metallic Silk Top designer-moschino If I did not know

If I did not know the source of this top and the fact that it did indeed come from the same estate that many of the 1920s piece I am listing came from I would almost think it a later period

The top is unlined and both the skirt and jacket have hand set fine black silk linings

Excellent condition and a little beauty

Maxwell Shieff was a Beverly Hills wardrobe designer for the movies and also did made-to-order piece for clients

Despite that fact that it is cut very generously it falls into place to instantly mold tot he size of the wearer

1970s Hand Painted & Metallic Silk Top designer-moschino If I did not knowWonderful and unique top that I feel must have had a label at some point as it is so striking and unusual perhaps Kenzo or of that ilk? Made of a red silk chiffon it has immense billowing sleeves that are each caught up tight at the cuff and are cut in a full circle above. The body of the top is cut straight and is hand painted in a wild clash of colors. Metallic ribbon edges the sides, sits on each sleeve and are used to create the ties at the front.
