1999 Valentino Runway Dusky Pink Slip Dress with Embellished Straps zandra_rhodes_suit waist and bottom hemThis archival Valentino dress walked the runway on supermodel Esther Caadas for the House's Fall 1999 collection. Tailored from pink silk satin which shines a warm grey or dusky pink depending on the light. It is cut to a simple slip dress silhouette with a column shaped front and sensuous low back. There is a low V cut at the bust. This dress is wonderfully made as youd expect of Valentino from this period and is carefully lined with candy pink satin
