Woman's Dress

Gustave Tassell explores both color and geometry in this sophisticated update of a toga, layered with a diagonal swath of black over an intense pink one-sleeved, body-skimming dress. The designer studied painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts before opening his ready-to-wear business in Los Angeles. This dress illustrates Tassell’s design restraint, perfect proportions, and uncompromising purity of line.
