Rare silk skirt set with a fun pop art ice cream scene. The top has a 1930s silhouette, with an oversized collar outlined in pink piping, also found on the cuffs adorned with red silk covered buttons. The skirt is a true wrap skirt and it is also shown as a cape. It has been adjusted at the waistline. The hooks have been modified for size adjustment. So you can wear it 28" or 30." The ensemble is in great vintage condition. There has been a repair near the armpit area. A couple of tiny spots. All these have been pointed out in pictures and not noticeable when worn.

This is from an early Vollbracht collection called "Illogical Circus." Highly anticipated show:
" Mr. Vollbracht, a relative newcomer, scheduled his 8 p.m. show as the last of Seventh Avenue's presentations and chose Pier 88, the New York Passenger Ship Terminal building on the Hudson River , as the site.
There, after refreshments, popcorn, and animal crackers, some 1,500 retailers , press, and designer colleagues (Kansai Yamamoto, Mary McFadden) went on to cheer what Vollbracht calls his "Illogical circus." The rousing presentation combined fashion and show biz, with mimes and clowns capering down a 100-foot stretch of red felt-covered runway along with the models -- some of whom wore Marcel Marceau makeup." - The CSM
