Vintage KENZO CLUB Sleeveless Knit Dress – Red & Ivory Floral – Made in Japan – 1980s

Vintage KENZO CLUB Knit Dress – Made in Japan

A striking example of vintage Japanese designer fashion, this beautiful KENZO CLUB sleeveless knit dress combines bold floral motifs, intricate geometric patterns, and an elegantly fitted silhouette.

Believed to date from the 1980s, the dress captures the exuberant use of colour and pattern associated with Kenzo’s distinctive design aesthetic. Rich vermilion red and warm ivory provide the backdrop for stylized peonies, rhythmic zigzags, fine horizontal stripes, and delicate repeating motifs.

The sleeveless bodice features a classic round neckline, while the closely fitted waist gives way to a gently shaped skirt. The contrasting patterns create a particularly attractive visual effect, emphasizing the waist and complementing the dress’s feminine silhouette.

Made in Japan from a 50% wool and 50% acrylic blend, the dress has the soft texture and natural flexibility of knitted fabric while remaining surprisingly lightweight at just 377 grams.

Measurements for the bust, waist, hips, and hem represent the full garment circumference, measured with the garment laid flat and doubled where applicable.

Please compare these measurements with a similar garment that fits you comfortably. Vintage Japanese sizing may differ from contemporary international sizing. The knitted fabric has natural stretch.

Equally attractive worn on its own or layered with a jacket or cardigan, this dress offers a distinctive alternative to contemporary knitwear.
