This piece is originates from the collection of Countess Anita von Galen, a German aristocrat and socialite known for her avant-garde sense of style and brilliant entertaining. Over the years, the Countess von Galen has used her visionary eye and a penchant for unique silhouettes to build an extraordinary collection of haute couture. She considered Hubert de Givenchy and his partner, Philippe Venet, also a couturier, close friends, with Givenchy designing the baptismal gown for her only son, Ferdinand Otto von Galen. Beyond her friendship with the couple, Countess von Galen was an ardent supporter of emerging, avant-garde designers including Pierre Cardin, Kansai Yamamoto, and Yohji Yamamoto.
