Flame dress
Shared by
New Zealand Fashion Museum
Annie Bonza won the prestigious eveningwear category of the 1971 Benson Hedges Fashion Design Awards with this dress, modelled by Maysie Bestall-Cohen. She designed it especially for this competition. The skirt of the dress is made from sections of coral and red, and the use of chiffon gives it the look of flames. It originally had hot pants but they have been lost as Annie carried the dress around with her for many years before it was acquired in 2005 by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
