Naeem Khan beaded/embroidered cocktail dress, c.2003
The up and coming designer, Naeem Khan, has already established a loyal following of celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria, Beyoncé, and Queen Noor of Jordan. This exquisite little cocktail dress was owned by a New York socialite active in the arts.
The simple sheath style is the perfect backdrop for the intricately detailed textile. The dress is fashioned from peach colored silk shantung embroidered with silk floss leaves, raised satin ribbon flowers, faux pearls, beads and sequins. The effect is stunning.
The dress is lined with matching charmeuse and closes in back with an invisible zipper.
Naeem Khan's work is found in high end stores like Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Nieman Marcus and retails in the $2000-$4000 range. This excellent buy is an example of the vintage advantage.
The condition is excellent. It is clean and ready to wear.
The size is marked 8.
It measures: 36" bust, 30" waist, 38" hip, and 35" from shoulder to hem.
