Strapless gazar bustier open in front, with geometric petal flourish along neck and topstitched satin band at waist. Wide<br />
cinch-belt in two horizontal bands, each in three cuts of cloth. Buttoning (on left) is designed to fashion a pointed basin at<br />
mid front.<br />
Forming the bustier’s upper part are two asymmetric layers of gazar: the inner one, in three cuts of cloth, fastens with a<br />
snap snugly above breasts; the outer one, in two cuts, overlaps in back. The left front curves upward and covers bust, while<br />
the (higher) right one has two deep pressed and slanted pleats that open toward the top. The gazar has fine overcast<br />
stitching along edge.<br />
Mannish pants with front closure, soft gathering at waist, wide legs narrowing at ankles. The right leg has a topstitched white<br />
satin sideband and matching rectangular panel folded over in three asymmetrically and sewn in place at waist. On the inside<br />
of this decor is a black satin ribbon tying delicately on thighs.<br />
Remarks<br />
Having more and more in common with haute couture, Italian fashion for fall 1982 is luxurious, quirkily eclectic re sources of<br />
inspiration. All-time favorite themes meet ultra elaborate sartorial solutions in pursuit of creations sure to entice and amaze<br />
as if on a phantasmagorical baroque stage. <strong>Ferré</strong> offers his own take on this trend, sending down the catwalk not period<br />
costumes but an abstract idea of the age, of a character and relative grace of motion. Opting for 18th century swordsmen<br />
and on the geometric spirals they trace in the air with foils, he designed exquisite silk bustiers that open flowerlike, seeming<br />
to defy the law of gravity.<br />
