1970s Paganne by Gene Berk Two Tone Pink Jersey Dress

£325.00

This 1970s dress by Gene Berk for Paganne has a particularly strong pink and red geometric print, outlined in black, with more intricate patterning at the waistband and neckline. The designer’s signature is worked into the design. Made from a stretchy jersey fabric, it has long sleeves and a just below the knee length skirt. The double-ended zip down the front is an unusual detail. The dress is unlined. Founded in 1965, Paganne was stocked by US department stores Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale’s. “I create the fabric and the fabric creates the styling of the garment,” Berk had said. He was one of the great names in colourful geometric designs printed onto clothing and accessories alongside Goldworm and Pucci and we love his work here at Circa. We were delighted to find, whilst researching Vogue archives, the maxi version of this dress which was photographed on a model at London Fashion Week during the Spring 2019 shows (pictured). The dress is in excellent vintage condition with no issues of any note and retains all its vibrancy. There is no composition label, and it is labelled a UK 12 / US 8. Please check our measurements below as this is a vintage size and is at the smaller end of the size range. MEASUREMENTS BUST - 38 in. (97 cm) WAIST UNSTRETCHED - 29 in.
