RUDI GERNREICH - 1975 Silver Cuff & Jersey Maxi Dress, Size-4

Spring 1975 Rudi Gernreich for Bob Cunningham black jersey gown, a striking example of the designer's revolutionary approach to modern dressing. Crafted in fluid black jersey, the dress features an elegant one-shoulder silhouette with a clean, architectural neckline that highlights Gernreich's mastery of minimalist form. The body-skimming cut falls effortlessly into a long, graceful column, allowing the fabric to move naturally while emphasizing the purity of the design. A sculptural silver metal arm cuff is integrated into the short sleeve, serving as both jewelry and garment detail—a hallmark of Gernreich's futuristic vision and fascination with the relationship between fashion and the body. Finished with a side slit for ease of movement, this rare piece embodies the sleek sophistication and avant-garde spirit that established Rudi Gernreich as one of the most influential and forward-thinking designers of the twentieth century.
