Silk taffeta evening dress in black. It is sleeveless and strapless, with a hand-painted design of flying-cranes (in gold and white) on the skirt. The underskirt has a red wadded hem. At the midriff there is a foot-wide gathering of the black dress fabric, resembling a large rose.

Evening dress, Rei #Kawakubo, 1991

There's a lot to love here. The beautiful hand-painted cranes give the dress a sense of life and movement. The rose gathering pulls the eye to the centre, only to be distracted by the red hem. A work of art.
