CHANEL Maison Gripoix Heart Earrings 1980s designer-janice-wainwright The fabric is very unusual

The fabric is very unusual - it seems to be an early synthetic - almost a nylon type fabric that has open cut work eyelets from top to bottom

Classic colors of blues and greens all swirl and are inset with Pucci flowers

You can see this exact construction technique used in a sleeveless verion of this Connolly dress sold at Christies in 2009:

This gown is just extraordinary

Finally the fabric itself is a masterpiece - it is a vertical woven silk that seems to have an almost metallic feel and texture to it but without being stiff or heavy in any way
