Tim Jocelyn Very Rare Art to Wear Silk Dress and Stole
Description
A museum-quality, highly rare wearable art ensemble by the celebrated Canadian multidisciplinary textile artist Tim Jocelyn (1952 – 1986). A seminal figure in Toronto’s 1980s avant-garde and experimental Queen Street West fashion scene, Jocelyn’s textile creations are exceptionally scarce and highly sought after by collectors.
This beautiful collector’s piece features a shift dress crafted from organic cream silk fabric, heavily accented with intricate, hand-cut appliques in an artistic array of earth-toned creams and browns. It comes accompanied by its original, matching silk stole designed to complement the dress motifs. Garment measured lying flat. Bust measures 19 inches, straps to hem measures 54 inches.
