Chic 1970s Bill Blass One Shoulder Cut Out Little Black Light Weight Silk Dress w Silk Sash Tie designer-guy-laroche Fully lined in a blackBill Blass launched his label in 1970 when he bought out the Maurice Rentner label and re launched it under his own name. Blass was arguably one of the most famous of the American designers. His forte was the ability to mix simple styles with luxurious materials and his evening wear in particular seemed to have a way of flattering the wearer. He knew how to walk that line perfectly. This is a very chic little example of his work from this time period.
