“STRAPS GALORE”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

………………For the AK Spring 1992 collection I did a series of sweater dresses, tops and even a bathing suit with a variety of multi strap backs…..Shown here are a DRESS, and a top, lower left….all made in Italy…… The knit had a large percentage of elastane blended with rayon so the knit fabric was heavier and HELD the wearer IN! The rayon gave a smooth comfortable feel to the knit. These dresses and tops were not for everyone!!!….However, they sold incredibly well!!  In those days designer collections were basically sold  in sizes 2 to 12 and anything larger was a special order. Stores that could meet the minimums could order the larger sizes if they wanted….The BLACK SUEDE WEDGE ANKLE STRAP worked perfectly with all of the strap pieces.
