Gown with Straw Rosettes
- Description:
- Designed by Arnold Scaasi, this gown is a favorite of research assistant Allie Malakoff ‘20. It is characterized as a “country square dancing dress.” The unique and contrasting textures of this gown combine a lace bodice with straw rosettes on a silk skirt. While these textures clash, Scaasi found a way to use textural contradiction to create elegance.
