An archival Nicole Farhi evening gown, circa Fall 2000, featuring the graduated silver micro-stud embellishment seen on the designer’s Fall 2000 runway.

Cut from fluid black stretch jersey, the floor-length column silhouette skims the body before pooling softly at the hem. The embellishment increases in scale and concentration towards the floor, while an elongated open back adds a dramatic counterpoint to the understated front.

A closely related graduated embellishment appears in Nicole Farhi’s Fall 2000 ready-to-wear collection.
