1970s Malcolm Star Boho Mixed Print Maxi Dress
Materials: Light Wool Crepe, Fully Lined
Brand / Maker: Malcolm Starr International, designed by Rizkallah label,
made in the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong
Era: 1970
Daring and delicious! This Floral printed wool crepe maxi dress with a contrasting border print, and a banded waist, is an amazing find! The dress features a full-length skirt, bishop sleeves, and a V-shaped neckline. Pieced together with several coordinated printed fabrics the lines of the dress are striking and flattering. The neckline trim, cuffs, waistband, and the print following the princess-style lines are made of one design. The sleeves and skirt are made of a matching floral print. The bodice is a third, similar but unique print. The dress is fully lined with a blue satin fabric of undetermined fiber. This dress features definitive Art Nouveau William Morris style influences in the printing of the fabric, typical of the bohemian style dresses in the 1970s. The garment is Maxi length with a center back zip closure.
Malcolm Starr (1924-2008) was an American ready-to-wear designer from the late 1960s until 1976. The company was originally opened in the 1940s by his father. The designer, Youssef Rizkallah, worked at Malcolm Starr from 1969-1975. Rizkallah was an Egyptian designer known for his use of jewel tones. Before joining the brand, his clients included the Queen of Jordan and the wives of Middle Eastern diplomats. He left the Malcolm Starr label in 1975 to launch his own women’s wear line.
Very good vintage condition except for a few small moth holes - see photo - fully wearable condition.
