This display showcases the 'España' evening gown by designer Sybilla, a notable piece from 1996 crafted from black silk crepe. The garment is characterized by its slender, body-hugging silhouette and a unique front design featuring geometric panels joined by nylon threads.
The 'España' dress by Sybilla, created in 1996, is presented as a significant piece within the Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas' collection, specifically its 'Indispensables' series. This evening gown is fashioned from black silk crepe, featuring a long, fitted silhouette with a round neckline. A distinctive design element is its front torso, where nylon threads are used to connect various geometric pieces, forming a unique, almost mosaic-like appearance without sharp edges. The lining, made of the same silk crepe, ensures the dress drapes perfectly. According to curator Laura Luceño, this dress represents a mature and pivotal moment in Sybilla's career, aligning with the minimalist aesthetic prevalent in the mid-1990s. Its originality is concentrated in the front, with delicately cut and rounded forms that come together in an innovative construction.
