A member of the 1980s avant garde, Paul-Louis Orrier employed old world techniques and materials to produce modern, futuristic garments. Like his contemporaries Thierry Mugler, Claude Montana and Azzedine Alaïa, he pushed trends to their furthest interpretation, using exaggerated shapes and angles in his designs. With its oversized bow and provocative left side slit (to the hip), this gown is no exception.
