vintage ralph lauren dress Vintage 2007 Ralph Lauren Purple Label Beaded Rhinestone Metallic Silver Lamé Strapless Gown

A truly dazzling and highly coveted beaded rhinestone metallic silver lamé strapless bias-cut gown dating back to Ralph Lauren’s stunning 2007 spring/summer collection. This documented runway look 47 worn by Katarina Ivanovska saw Lauren at his best. This season Vogue tipped their hats to him for straying from the norm and using metallic metal fabrics to “cut fashion week like a knife through butter”. Ralph Lauren is an iconic American designer known for his timeless vision of elegance and luxury. In 1972, he made his mark in women’s fashion with his first full women’s collection debuting on the runway and solidifying his position as a visionary designer. His luxury line, Ralph Lauren Purple Label, epitomizes Old-World European glamour. With numerous accolades, including the CFDA Lifetime Achievement Award, Ralph Lauren’s legacy continues to define American style. This ultra chic beauty is fashioned in a gorgeous iridescent silver metallic silk lamé and is fully lined so that it feels amazing against the skin. The metallic patterned lamé reflects light as if a pool of liquid silver. The bodice features a fantastic built-in bustier corset, sculpting your shape with figure flattering support. Sparkling prong-set rhinestones and intricate beadwork adore the bust. A closer glance reveals a delicate lotus flower design. This glamorous gown slightly nips in at the waist while skimming the hips in a beautiful bias-cut construction. Such a 1930's vibe! This ultra rare archival Ralph Lauren would make an unforgettable bridal or red carpet look.
