This is a 1970s disco era Wayne Clark Couture jumpsuit designed for Aline Marelle — an early work by the acclaimed Canadian designer. This disco era Wayne Clark Couture jumpsuit features a shimmering gold lamé wrap top that ties elegantly at the waist, accented with a dramatic fringed sash. The halter neckline and low-cut open back create a bold silhouette, while the fluid black palazzo-style pants add movement and contrast.
The CA textile identification number (CA02416) on the size tag belongs to Aline Marelle, where Wayne Clark worked from 1977 into the 1980s. This dates this disco era Wayne Clark Couture jumpsuit to his early career, shortly after returning to Canada from England, where he apprenticed with Hardy Amies in the 1970s. Clark went on to establish his own company in 1989 and became known for bias-cut evening wear, high-quality sportswear, and a celebrity following that has included Jane Fonda, Cindy Crawford, Rihanna, and Vivica A. Fox.
