Vintage Norma Kamali dress sequined sequin teal Turquoise mermaid sz L paillete

A jaw-dropping piece of fashion history from the queen of bold glamour, Norma Kamali. This rare vintage dress is drenched in oversized, iridescent paillettes that catch the light like shimmering mermaid scales—flashing seafoam green, turquoise teal with every movement. Late 80s / early 90s, when Kamali was pushing the limits of disco-inspired futurism. Straight silhouette with a relaxed neckline and short sleeves, allowing the dress’s sculptural sequins to steal the show. Thousands of giant circular paillettes hand-sewn onto a sheer mesh base, creating a liquid-metal effect that’s both playful and extravagant. Vibe: Studio 54 meets underwater siren; think disco mermaid goddess. Condition: Extremely rare to find in this state—these Kamali paillette pieces almost never surface, especially in wearable, collector-worthy condition. This isn’t just a dress—it’s a museum-level collectible and a pure statement piece. Perfect for a serious collector, vintage connoisseur, or anyone who believes fashion should dazzle, shock, and seduce. Sellers like Shrimpton Couture and 1stDibs sell this dress for many thousands I have only ever displayed it in my home and now feel ready to release her (like my archival Tom Ford, Missoni, YSL, Gucci etc…) LIGHT UP THE ROOM in this sparkle Measurements in the photos Unlike the others that have gone up for sale there are MINIMAL bent sequins (not noticeable IMO) This has been kept in excellent condition Timeless mermaid siren
