Although she is not as well known as her contemporaries, she is a highly respected name in Italian fashion, noted for her sophisticated style and precise tailoring.

Designed along classical lines her clothes tend to be stark and severely tailored.

This modern design from the 1960's embodies all of those qualities. The clean lines and simple use of a contrasting color for ornamentation work together to create a striking evening dress. The sleeveless black silk dress has a low neckline bordered by a wide band of cream silk. This silk band is used to define the dropped waist and accentuate the deep slit on the left side, as well as a border at the hem line. 

Chic, elegant and very modern, this dress is a museum de-accession. The numbered label is adjacent to the Mila Schon label.

There is a metal center back zipper and the skirt portion of the dress is fully lined in black silk. This sophisticated dress is in excellent condition.
