A piped fabric tie belt in a matching silk cinches in the waist

That outer layer is covered with hand applied

This one is made out of a fine silk twill which holds color beautifully and is why we are seeing such vivid colors even after all of these years

Note that it will work on a smaller frame if you have the waist adjusted or wear the pants low on the hips so I have included it as a size SML as well

He had a love of opulence and bead work, both of which he incorporates heavily into the best of his designs. He worked for both Edith Head and Jean Louis prior to working as a costume designer and co designing with Ray Aghayan. That led to his incredible journey in designing for stars like Cher and Diana Ross for many years. In many ways his creations defined their careers and that entire era of Hollywood
