1960s Leonard Black Knit Maxi Dress with Green Floral Contrast
$765.00
Stunning black maxi dress by Leonard!
This full length dress has a slight flare below the waist with a beautifully inset contrast that follows the hem all the way up to the bodice. It features a wide scooped neckline and the same green floral contrast outlines the silhouette. There is an adjustable belt at the waist that breaks up more of black space creating a pretty juxtaposition. Zipper closure center back.
Fun Fact: In 1954 Leonard was simply a textile company but in 1958 they invited Daniel Tribouillard to start a new fashion line venture. Daniel proved to be an indispensable asset to the firm and in 1960 invented a new method that allowed knits to be continuously printed! This method is still used today!

1970s NWT Leonard Black and Red Abstract Tribal Print Knit Dress NWT
$925.00
Interesting and Hypnotizing full length maxi by Leonard.
This spot on dress blends aspects of tribal art with autumnal colors on a black ground. It boasts a 70's style attached necktie and bishop sleeves that were popular for that era. Buttons are fabric covered and create a front closure. This dress is full length and the print is too entrancing to ignore as it zig-zags throughout the entirety of the garment.
It would be interesting to see how this dress would look styled with geometric or gold brutalist style jewelry.
Leonard was first a textile company then in 1954 Daniel Tribouillard joined the house and in 1958 began making garments. The prints are designer bright florals on silk jersey knit fabric. The house is still alive today and creates lines similar to those from the past preserving a unique style.
