Rare 1950s Gustave Tassel Golden Silk Dress & Jacket designer-bessi silk lined pockets along theThis is a very rare, museum quality example of Gustave Tassell, who was one of the great American Couturiers. Example of his work are extremely hard to come by and most are only found in museum collections. For those not familiar with his work, Tassell won a Coty Award in 1962, was worn by Jacqueline Kennedy and designed for the house of Norell when Normal Norell died. This piece predates his work for Norell and is from one of his earlier collections.
