As worn by Fernanda Tavares on the Spring/Summer 2002 Paris Runway
Presenting a true artifact of fashion history: a gown that captures the timeless elegance and masterful craftsmanship of Valentino couture at its zenith.
Crafted in soft champagne silk, this exquisite piece features a delicate lace macramé bodice with a silk chiffon ruched overlay. The design includes:
· A structured, ruched bodice for a sculpted fit
· Intricate hand embroidery and lace appliqué accenting the waist
