The gown features a deep V neckline that descends into expertly draped fabric at the high waist, creating a fluid, flattering silhouette that flows gracefully to ankle length. The long sleeves are finished with cuffed details, lending a soft billowing effect, which contrasts beautifully with the sleek lines of the dress. A corseted interior provides structure, while an elasticated waist ensures a comfortable yet cinched fit. The back showcases a cascading drape that transitions into a pleated waistline, further accentuating the garment's architectural qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGhesquière's 2009 collection was hailed for its \"Parisian\" sophistication, merging drape, print, and precise tailoring. Drawing inspiration from the Balenciaga archives, he incorporated references to forties redingotes and sari-inspired silhouettes, while also introducing bold scarf prints from the late sixties. Vogue’s Sarah Mower praised the collection for balancing pragmatism with luxurious experimentation, a hallmark of Ghesquière’s innovative approach to couture craftsmanship. This gown is a striking example of that balance, embodying both modernity and heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShown in the photos is model Miranda Kerr wearing the dress in 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is in perfect condition with no stains, damage or pulls.
