One of the basic tenants that George Stavropoulos stood by in his design work was to let the cut and fabric take centre stage. Rarely do you find a ton of embellishment on one of his pieces. He was the favorite of the jet set and Hollywood in his day - clients included Elizabeth Taylor and my favorite opera singer - the great Maria Callas. It is rare to find a day dress from his as he specialized in evening pieces. I think this makes this even more special since it was more then likely a custom piece made specifically for a favored client. The cut is quintessentially seventies with that nod to the 1940s in its cut, but with a modern feel. High capped shoulders and sleeves that narrow as they go to the wrist. A scooped neck and subtle draping on the skirt perfectly offset the small floral pattern screened onto the silk! It is extremely well made and in excellent, seemingly unworn condition condition.
