Gift of Antonio and May in loving memory of Leonie Theresa Daroya Koenitz.
This maxi dress with kimono-style sleeves was owned by Leonie Koenitz, who was one of the first fashion models trained in Singapore at Joan Booty and Ruth Warner's Mannequin Training and Charm School, which opened in 1956. The maxi dress is a long and minimally structured dress that gained popularity in the 1960s and 1970s. This particular dress features long kimono-style sleeves and a tie-dye inspired print.
