This vibrant designer blouse is a classic example of the bold, luxurious aesthetic of Escada during the tenure of co-founder Margaretha Ley. Crafted in Italy from high-quality silk, the garment features an intricate baroque-inspired floral print in shades of fuchsia, rose, and gold. The design incorporates scrolling acanthus leaf motifs that frame lush floral clusters, a hallmark of the brand's opulent 1980s and 90s style. The blouse is constructed with a structured collar, long sleeves with button cuffs, and a concealed placket for a streamlined, sophisticated finish. The interior pink woven label confirms the heritage branding "Escada by Margaretha Ley."
Size: 34 (European)
CONDITION REPORT The blouse appears to be in very good vintage condition. The silk fabric retains excellent color saturation and its original luster.

All original buttons appear to be intact.
