A striking vintage Loris Azzaro evening ensemble from the 1970s, consisting of a crochet jacket with signature detailing and a matching lurex skirt.
The jacket is crafted in a metallic gold lurex crochet and finished with the house’s signature ornate embellishment along the edges, consisting of gold-tone metal chains finished with faux pearls and clear and amber-toned plastic beads. This versatile statement piece fastens with concealed snap buttons and can be worn open, partially closed, or fully closed.
The matching skirt is knitted in a shimmering gold lurex yarn, cut in a slightly flared silhouette and ending above the knee. It closes with a zipper and metal hook fastening and is fully lined. No label present, likely synthetic material and made in France.
Both pieces can be worn together as a set or separately, with the jacket in particular working as a strong standalone piece and a highly recognisable and collectible vintage Azzaro design.
Please note that this piece is unsigned; however, it can be confidently attributed to Loris Azzaro as the construction, materials, and embellishment work are consistent with documented Loris Azzaro designs from the period, and labelled examples of the jacket exist in the vintage market, confirming the attribution.
