Vintage Marian Clayden Silk Velvet Devoré Artwear Top S / M poetic minimalism

Exceptional vintage Marian Clayden artwear top in a pale sage green rayon and silk cut-velvet dévoré. An ethereal layered design featuring a sheer, fluid poncho-style outer layer patterned in dimensional velvet over a coordinating silk chiffon underlayer. Poetic Minimalism at its best. The asymmetric handkerchief silhouette and tonal botanical/ornamental velvet motif create beautiful movement and texture. Marian Clayden was an influential textile artist and designer known for her experimental dyeing techniques and distinctive rayon/silk cut velvets.
