Victor Costa Structural Black Brocade Gown with Origami Pleating

A dramatic and sculptural evening gown by Victor Costa, crafted in rich black brocade that catches light with subtle texture and dimension. This expressive design showcases Costa’s mastery of architectural form and couture-inspired detailing, fusing 1980s theatricality with timeless sophistication. The gown features bold origami-style pleated ruffles at the shoulders and back hip, adding volume and visual rhythm reminiscent of wartime surrealist silhouettes. The fitted bodice and low back lend a sleek counterpoint to the sculptural accents, while a concealed zipper closure ensures a refined finish. Tailored to perfection, this piece bridges structure and sensuality — an ideal choice for evening, black-tie, or editorial styling.
