1976 Christian Dior by Marc Bohan Printed Purple & Turquoise Silk Chiffon Skirt & Jacket Set Accessories and Separates Reference Photo: ELLE USThe set is from the 1976 Christian Dior collection. It was made under the creative direction of Marc Bohan. This is a shorter skirt version in purple and turquoise of the set that was photoed for L'Officiel in 1976. We had a red version many, many years ago and I am very pleased to have found this one. Both pieces are made out of a crepe silk chiffon that is light in weight and moves quite beautifully. I love that because it is two pieces you can wear
