Details

A beautiful original 1970s French Connection two-piece, made in India from 100% cotton cheesecloth gauze. A rare piece from an experimental period of fashion. The set is made up of a loose top with huge balloon sleeves, paired with oversized balloon harem trousers. Both pieces are covered in gold block print, with incredible embroidery to the neckline and trousers. There is mounds and mounds of fabric to this piece. The top is versatile and can be worn more like a dress, or styled with the matching harem trousers.

 

Equally, both pieces work beautifully worn separately. The combination of Indian block printing, embroidery and cotton cheesecloth, makes this a really unusual collector's piece and a fine example of the eccentric, globally influenced side of 1960s/70s fashion. A special piece of French Connection history. Made in India
