Provenance Note Antonella Preve, New York, was a boutique label specializing in statement knitwear and dresses during the 1980s. This piece, blending wool/rayon knit with rhinestones and lace applique, reflects the decade?s obsession with glitz, texture, and bold shoulders. The use of a YKK USA nylon zipper helps date the piece firmly to the 1980s. Today, such embellished sweater dresses are highly collectible as examples of Dynasty-era glamour.
