Mori showed her first overseas collection at the Hotel Delmonico in New York. It was at this show that she was discovered by Stanley Marcus, the owner of the Dallas-based luxury department store Neiman Marcus, after which Mori’s dresses became available in the United States, primarily at the New York store. At the time, there was a demand amongst American women who entertained at home for glamorous hostess gowns. Mori’s glamorous and yet elegant garments such as this example were the perfect response to this demand and were extremely popular. This dress was photographed by Richard Avedon and featured in a double page spread in American Vogue (November 1966). It remains one of Mori’s iconic designs.
