1980s Vintage Gala Dress - Purple and Green Taffeta with Detachable Over-train

Two-piece gala ensemble consisting of a structured fitted dress and a large-volume detachable architectural over-train.

Object history: This exceptional piece, which belonged to a Spanish aristocrat, was designed for high-level social receptions. Inspired by the attire of the 17th and 18th-century aristocracy, the suit reinterprets Baroque style under the maximalist aesthetics of the 1980s. It stands out for its dramatic chromatic contrast and the use of sculptural volumes, characteristic of the artisanal haute couture of the era.
