A museum-worthy statement piece from the golden era of expressive fashion, this 1960s Krist two-piece set is a rare example of coordinated design, bold psychedelic print, and architectural tailoring. The ensemble includes a sleeveless maxi-length overlay with an ultra-high open-side slit, secured by oversized statement buttons at the shoulder and along one side. Underneath, matching mini shorts complete the look — both original to the set. Krist Gudnason, a San Francisco-based designer known for his vibrant and bold maxi dresses, often featuring psychedelic or floral patterns. He also used the "Alice in California" label during this period. His designs often incorporated elements like metallic fabrics, paisley prints, and keyhole backs. The vibrant hand-drawn floral print explodes in rich pink, orange, purple, and yellow tones — a visual embodiment of the Summer of Love and free-spirited 1960s glamour. Crafted from lightweight, breathable fabric, the construction balances drama with comfort. A bold slit, sculptural lines, and crisp silhouette bring runway-ready energy to a collector-level vintage piece. This rare design by Krist is almost impossible to find complete and in near-mint condition, making it a grail for vintage enthusiasts, fashion archivists, stylists, and costume designers alike. Condition: Near-mint vintage. One button has been mended and one (on the shorts back) replaced. No stains, snags, or odors. Fabric remains vibrant and strong. No size markings. Fi
