1960s Galanos Domed Rhinestone Button Silk Chiffon Pleat Dress designer-patrick-kelly The collection notes said ofThis wonderful little dress is a testament to the greatness of James Galanos, who was one of the great American Couturiers. Galanos made couture level dresses and the level of craftsmanship to them that left Frances most esteemed couturiers with their mouths agape. The immaculate construction of a Galanos piece oozed luxury, privilege, and high society (with price points to match). He was a master cutter and he used couture techniques in his work.
