A 1980s Jenny Bannister wrap top in black silk, balancing a sculpted wrap bodice with beautifully sheer sleeves and shoulders. Tonal pom-pom trim traces the neckline and cuffs, while elongated silk ties wrap around the waist or fall freely from the front. Cropped and expressive, the piece captures the romantic edge of Bannister’s Australian fashion work and feels remarkably current styled with high-waisted trousers or a long skirt.
CONDITION
In good condition with wear consistent with age and use. There is a small hole at the right underarm near the seam.
