This exceptional 1960s two-piece set comes from the wardrobe of the wife of a French diplomat who lived in Montréal.
A true social butterfly, she moved through some of the city’s finest parties, formal dinners and private gatherings of the era. Much of her wardrobe was handmade in Paris by accomplished couturiers, and this set is one of the last surviving pieces from her collection.
Unlike many of her garments, this piece is unlabelled — a rare exception within a wardrobe otherwise closely associated with custom-made Paris.
The quality, however, is immediately apparent. The cutting is beautifully balanced and flattering, with clean, youthful lines and a vivid saturated green that feels straight from a 1960s fashion editorial. It reflects the more modern, fashion-forward side of the decade rather than the conservative tailoring often associated with 1960s skirt suits.
Entirely handmade and preserved in remarkable condition, it is a rare example of original 1960s dressmaking with both strong visual impact and exceptional provenance.
