isaia nyc Black Lycra 3/4 Sleeve Maxi Dress 80’s Size Small

This is an original isaia black lycra dress from the mid 80's bought at Fiorucci in NYC. Fits size 4-6 in perfect mint condition. Lots of stretch. Isaia became known for his use of Lycra to create body-conscious styles for women. The sex appeal of his clingy miniskirts, wrap tops, dresses, and accessories made him a sought-after fashion designer in the mid- to late 1980s. In a June 1987 The New York Times article, he was touted as "one of the city’s brightest young designers" whose name was "everywhere." He died of aids in 1989, like so many young, talented fashion designers.
