YOSHIKI HISHINUMA 1990S RED AND PINK CREASED POLYESTER LEAF PATTERN DRESS

Red, wrinkled polyester dress by japanese fashion designer yoshiki hishinuma (circa 1990s). The fabric is lightweight, and extremely intricate, with an irregular, allover leaf pattern that is made partly from wrinkling some sections (to make the leaves themselves) and partly from printing (to make the radiating lines that surround the leaves). The garment seems to have been overdyed after construction, with pink sections revealed (for example under the collar) underneath the red. It has a three button, polo-shirt style neck, short sleeves, and a shaped waist with some flare at the hem. Good condition, with chip to top button (see picture 10).
