AKIRA S/S 2005 calligraphy dress

Designer: Akira Isogawa

Description: S/S 2005. Black and white calligraphy silk print dress with black under layer. Bias cut. Ultra limited run. 

While we cannot find a photo match for this dress in the Printemps-Été 2005 collection lookbook or otherwise. The calligraphy print was used in multiple garments including a jacket, pant, dress and a skirt. Approximately only 15 skirts were produced and the calligraphy was hand painted. We expect our dress to have had a very similar production and to be from the same collection. This dress is a very rare piece of Akira Isogawa history.

Please note: The photo of the skirt is from the original Printemps- Été 2005 collection and is shown in the Akira Isogawa archival collection at the Powerhouse.
