LEE MENICHETTI Golden Yellow Silk Faille Cloak with Black Silk Lining OS.
I don't know whether to call it a cloak or a cape, and it's hard to find any other words for it too. The cloak/cape is a magnificent theatrical design by Lee Menichetti, a versatile artist most well known for this jewelry creations. I don't know why it was made, except for joy, and I don't know if it had a use except to wear and be fabulous. The cloak is an egg yolk yellow silk faille with very fine ribbing, and the lining is the same but in solid black (we'll add a better photo of the lining soon). It closes with self-ties in front. Of course the back of the cloak needs a little explanation: White and iridescent sequins (and a few rhinestones) form rays emanating from a black sequined "sun." Below the sun is what is best described as a black bow lined in yellow with horsehair inserted (now made of polyester or nylon) inside the two "loops" on top to creatness fullness (now just a little crushed but could be revived). The cloak is about 58" down center back. Shipping includes insurance.

NOTE: After a storied career as a fashion designer, the exceptional Salvatore Lee Menichetti (1931-1977) became an award-winning creator of high-fashion jewelry and accessories working with such luminaries are Geoffrey Beene and James Galanos. Over his lifetime, he was a clothing designer, couturier, costume designer, and fine artist. He lived in Palm Beach, Florida.

CONDITION
Excellent condition with only a very few tiny spots - like a pinhead or smaller - scattered far apart.  Possibly never worn.
