1980s Emerald Green Jean Muir Flowing Wrap Top & Pants designer-la-mendola the tie at the waist

the tie at the waist and the hem - it really sets off the design to perfection

It is entirely done by hand with a beautiful crewel embroidery technique

A truly stunning three piece ensemble by the legendary Pauline Trigere that has that chic bohemian vibe to it

It is absolutely incredible

It is cut on the bias through the skirt and the chiffon is slightly transparent so that the pink lining gives it extra depth of color

1980s Emerald Green Jean Muir Flowing Wrap Top & Pants designer-la-mendola the tie at the waistThis is from a later Jean Muir label and I suspect it was a short lived diffusion line. From a collectors point of view it does not hold the same value as say her early work from the 70s but from a wearability point of view it's kind of amazing. It is made of a silky viscose that is meant to have the appearance of silk and plays on her love of using soft, flowing fabrics. The color is amazing and I love the brilliant, true emerald tone chosen for it.
