An architect from fashion, a great experimenter and provocateur, Roberto Cappucci in 1956 created a dress that forever went down in history.

The name Roberto Cappucci is perhaps familiar only to those who are seriously interested in the history of fashion and, possibly, inveterate gardeners, because one of the varieties of roses is named after this Italian designer. And now you yourself will understand why!

Roberto Cappucci was born on December 2, 1930 in Rome, and he was barely 20 when he began to be called a child prodigy: the very first five dresses shown to the public at the show were instantly sold out.

All his life he was intrigued by architectural complexity, sculpturality, but at the same time in the liveliest, most juicy colors!

In 1956, Cappucci was awarded the Venice Gold Medal and received a letter of admiration from Christian Dior! In the same year, a Cadillac car ad introduced the whole world to one of its main creations.

The hem of this amazing red dress with the telling name "Nine Skirts" consists of nine separate skirts of different lengths. Each of them is also multi-layered, which ultimately creates an effect that turns a woman into a bud of a blossoming rose!

All the outfits from Roberto Cappucci were created in a single copy, and you could buy them right at the time of the show, so that the buyer could always be sure that no one had the second outfit. Cappucci himself called his work "the study of form," and looking at his creations, you readily believe in it.
