Sensational Ferdinando Sarmi Couture formal ballgown dating back to his 1959 collection. Sarmi expressed interest in fashion during his youth but was discouraged from pursuing a design career by his father. During the late 1950's he developed a wonderful reputation as a top designer, wooing an influential clientele that included celebrities, New York socialites and foreign dignitaries. Pat Nixon wore a Sarmi gown to her husband's second Inaugural Ball in 1957. He was best known for opulent evening looks and for his use of extravagant fabrics. This breathtaking metallic fuchsia floral motif silk-brocade gown is a perfect example of his genius. The flattering bodice is a low-cut plunge corseted sculpted strapless. The yards and yards of perfectly constructed brocade skirting finish off the garment with a gorgeous Old Hollywood vibe. I totally see this gown gliding down the red carpet.
