Amazing 1970s Malcolm Appliqué Starr Flower Dress by Youssef Rizkallah w Open Side Slit designer-emma-domb Because it is two pieces

Because it is two pieces it is also remarkably versatile - you can wear them together or mix them up with modern separates from your existing closet

It is easy to see the level of quality in this piece - the fur is extremely supple and soft

When I purchased this many years ago it was from the estate of a former model who was given it in exchange for her work on the runway

An interesting side note - this was pulled by a major fashion magazine for a shoot with a prominent photographer - I will release that info for the buyer
