Vintage 60s Malia Hawaiian Metallic Brocade Cocktail Hostess Maxi Resort Evening Dress Gown

This is a stunning 1960s vintage Malia Honolulu evening dress, featuring a vibrant mod aesthetic rooted in mid-century Hawaiian resort wear.

Malia was a very influential premium Hawaiian brand founded in 1961. It was one of the first brands in the 60s to successfully transition from island resort wear to mainland chic.

Known for their bold artistic textile designs, Malia garments from this era are highly collectible.

The label targeted a younger trend conscious yet more sophisticated customer. The owner described the brand as "misses' sizes with a junior look."
