This is of course what he was known for his cleverly screened dresses gave the appearance of chic dinner suits. He did them on poly jerseys like this one this fabric was cutting edge at the time and held colour magnificently. It has enough weight to hold the shape as he desired but to still drape and move beautifully on the wearer. It is virtually wrinkle free and easy to travel with. I love the design this
