Designed by Nicolas Ghesquière for Spring 2003, this iconic and instantly recognizable Balenciaga Scuba dress is crafted from black cotton jersey featuring a vivid underwater and jungle motif in bright colors, accented by black Scuba-inspired stitching. The dress has a seemingly simple yet highly sophisticated fitted silhouette with a small V-neck, wide elbow-length sleeves detailed with black vinyl stripes, and an asymmetrical mini-length hem. Side zipper closure. 100% cotton, unlined. Made in France.
