A B O U T

A fabulous example of mid-century American fashion, this 1960s Malcolm Starr by Rizkallah gown is a showstopper in vibrant Kelly green with oversized white polka dots. Cut in a sleek, floor-skimming A-line silhouette, the gown features a dramatic oversized white silk shantung lapel collar, short sleeves, and a matching bow belt that cinches the waist to perfection. Did I mention it has pockets?! The lively textured cotton polka-dot fabric adds dimension and playful movement, while the impeccable tailoring speaks to the craftsmanship of the era. Closed up the front with hook and eyes and snaps. In excellent condition, freshly dry cleaned and ready to wear! 

Label History: 

Founded in the early 1960s by Malcolm Starr, the label quickly became known for its luxurious, travel-ready evening wear and cocktail dresses—often sold through high-end department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman. Starr frequently collaborated with gifted designers, most notably Lebanese-born Youssef Rizkallah, whose flair for bold prints, opulent fabrics, and couture-level details gave the brand a signature look. Rizkallah’s designs for Malcolm Starr epitomized the jet-set glamour of the 1960s and early ’70s, dressing socialites and style-savvy women across the globe.
