Description:
This white nylon tulle minidress embroidered with flower and ball motifs testifies to the influence of Futurism and Op Art on 1960s couturiers like Courrèges. Worn by the wife of painter Léon Gischia and donated to the museum, this sober, optical white garment refuses all pointless, restricting artifice. Under Courrèges' influence the embroidery of the period was kinetic, monochrome or made of plastic, and jewellery took on new, zany forms.
