1960/70s Goldworm, Bowtie Shirt Dress, Paisley Print, Arty Bohemian, Pussy Bow, Merino Wool, Jersey Knit, Italian Fashion

Materials: 100% Virgin Merino Wool

Brand / Maker: Goldworm, Made in Italy

Era: 1960-1970s

1960-70’s Italian print designer Goldworm, Boho multi-colored paisley print dress. The original Persian droplet-like motif design has a black background, with shades of red, green & blue paisleys. Dress features include a tapered waistline, with band, pleats at the hips, high neckline, and pussy bow detail. Long lantern sleeves balloon to the wrist with elasticised cuff, making this a very stylish & sophisticated garment. The fabric is a high-quality pure merino wool jersey unlined, zipping up the back.

The symbolic power of the paisley probably has played a part in the longevity of the design style, it is thought to have been a representation of a floral spray combined with a cypress tree, a symbol of life and eternity. The real secret to the print’s immortality is how it combines conformity with unruliness, how it is open to endless and unexpected re-invigoration and re-interpretation.
