Demi-Couture Spring 1989 Nina Ricci Runway Dotted Silk Skirt & Silk Chiffon One Shoulder Top Set grays A silk chiffon fitted &This is a phenomenal set whose twin walked the runway for the Spring 1989 Nina Ricci show. It was made under the creative direction of Gerard Pipart. The dress is interesting because it has the main label normal tags but inside it is almost completely made by hand and finished to a demi couture level. We often see this with pieces that were special ordered and made in the Paris atelier but where the client did not get fitted at the Couture atelier.
