A rare and romantic piece from Lolita Lempicka’s Spring/Summer 2001 collection, this red silk dress embodies the designer’s whimsical, feminine aesthetic. Cut with a halter neckline and delicate double spaghetti straps, the fitted bodice gives way to a flowing skirt that moves beautifully with the body. The surface is embellished with intricate beadwork and sequins in tonal shades, forming playful starfish motifs alongside organic patterns—an ode to seaside fantasy. The dress closes at the nape with covered buttons and slips easily over the head. Variations of this design in different colors appeared on the SS01 runway, underscoring its significance within the collection.
Designer Background: Lolita Lempicka rose to prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s with her romantic, fairytale-inspired creations that often blurred the line between fantasy and fashion. The Spring/Summer 2001 collection drew on nature and marine symbolism, making this starfish-embroidered dress a perfect emblem of her dreamy, otherworldly vision.
Condition: Very good vintage condition. The silk remains fluid and the embellishments intact, with only minor natural signs of age and wear. Presents beautifully when worn.
