c1978 Silver Silk Thea Porter Couture Abaya Caftan designer-stavropoulos Its a truly fantastic pieceA rare and stunning Thea Porter Abaya robe whose collared front dates this to approx 1978 1980. It is quite beautiful with its stunning mix of white and silver. The caftan is of course perhaps her strongest signature piece and after the recent, first ever exhibit of her work at the FIT Museum in London (of which I am proud to have lent numerous pieces from my archives to) I am very pleased to be able to offer such a strong example of her work here.
