Andrea Odicini Couture
1985 Documented Ombre Paisley Silk Three Piece Dress Suit
A 100% silk couture 3 piece suit, a bold 1980’s look from high end Italian designer Andrea Odicini. The silk on the spaghetti strap tank top and high waisted skirt is printed with a large, swooping black paisley pattern over a warm red, pink and purple gradient. both have a side metal zipper enclosure and dark silk lining; the hem on the tank top looks unfinished. The fitted blazer is loosely quilted in a signature 1980’s twisted pattern, on silk of the same gradient but with a much smaller print. The blazer is lined with the paisley pattern as well, which shows itself on the folded-over sleeve cuffs. It closes with three black reflective buttons and black elastic enclosure at the front. This piece also features easily removable, ample shoulder pads. This piece was originally sold at the high end department store Holt Renfrew.
The last photo is of a variation of the suit in the September 1985 issue of Vogue Italia.
