• The twin of this jacket walked the runway for Look 6 for the Fall 2015 collection.
• From the Junya Watanabe for Commes des Garcons line.
• For the show Junya focused on the honeycomb and he said that he wanted to explore "dimensionality through clothing" the point where mathematics and nature meet.
• This particular jacket explores the use of the hexagon and triangle and the jacket is meticulously pieced together. You also see the nod to the honeycomb in the pattern of the oversized waffle weave print that adds texture over the entire jacket.
• The sleeves are shaped to follow the shape of the arm and the fabric is all gathered into a complex design under the base of the shoulder. You see this repeated at the front of the bodice and the interesting shape it creates around the neckline. I have taken a photo of the jacket hanging on a hanger as well as the dress form so you can get a better idea of this.
• Around the edge of the hip are little insets triangles that create a exaggerated peplum. You can see how beautifully the shape this creates once it is on the body.
• The jacket is fully lined in the second layer of the same fabric as the exterior and buttons to close down the front.
• It comes with its original packet that has extra fabric and the jacket appears to have never been worn.

• From the Act 1 Fall/Winter 2019 Chanel collection. This is the collection done for shops between the pre-collection and the runway shows. These are often specialized items that are made on an extremely limited basis.
• Made under the creative direction of Karl Lagerfeld
• The buttons on this one are so special. They are little snowflakes on a carved backdrop mixed with rhinestones. They are meant to evoke winter and when combined with the knit, the feel of being warm and cozy, nestled inside from the ice and snow on a winter's day.
• There are five larger buttons down the front and then a slightly smaller version sits on each pocket and at each cuff.
• Even though the sweater at first glance looks like it is made out of Angora, Chanel actually does not use Angora. Instead it is made out of a blend of cashmere and alpaca. This is a very expensive to produce, time consuming process and a amazing technical achievement in fabric.
• The colour is a pale baby blue and even though we have tried to capture it as closely as possible here it is even better in person. It is the kind of piece that makes you gasp out loud when you see it.
  
• It has a slightly cropped feel to it and I love the two little pockets on the front.
• It buttons to close down the front and the pockets are functional but each is still lightly tacked shut as it came from Chanel.
• It has its original Chanel packet with extra yarn inside and its original Chanel tag. It appears to be unworn.
• This is a very rare and special Chanel piece especially in this pristine a condition.
• The knit has some stretch and I have put the un-stretched, laying flat measurements below.

• Valentino launched his ready-to-wear label in 1962 just two years after opening his first salon in Rome. He often brought in the designs that he created for his main couture label into the boutique work. In these early days pieces were remarkably close in quality and the line between the two labels was often blurred. 
• Made under the creative direction of the original Mr. Valentino
• The top is made out of a bright pink silk that has a ribbon effect worked into the fabric for added texture.
• The cut is boxy and generous through the body for an easy fit. The sleeves are also cut generously and end with a buttoned cuff.
• The neck is ruffled with black velvet piping looped through the ruffles. They tie stacked on top of each other for a really pretty and dramatic effect.
• The top is unlined and closes at the front with a series of hidden set buttons. There is the shell of padding in each shoulder but it feels like the actual padding has been removed.
• There is no size tag present so please go by the measurements below. The top is meant to feel more loose and generous.

• Resort 2018 Prada runway Look 23
• Under the creative direction of Miuccia Prada
  
• The runway version did not have the gray underneath the chain metal so it was worn more as a tunic. When they added the grey silk band for the shops it allowed it to be worn as a mini dress
• Made from a pale pink crepe with a soft grey design printed over it that incorporates the word Prada on both the front and back
• The lower portion of the skirt is a pale grey stretch silk like fabric. A metal chain mail detailing goes around the top part of that lower skirt
• It has a high collar and the sleeves are long. Each sleeve is finished in a pale pink feather cuff.
• Pin-tuck detailing creates a very pretty and detailed finish at the front of the dress
• The fit through the body is more full and open much like a 1920s flapper dress
  
• It closes with a hidden set back zipper
• Tagged a modern Prada 40
• I see some teeny little marks on the grey silk and one tiny faint spot on the top of one shoulder. It has the slightest perfumey smell, otherwise in excellent condition.

This is a fantastic little Prada top from the Fall 2000 collection and we have added both the runway shot and the ad campaign shot of the dress from that season that has the same cut through the bodice so that you can see how gorgeous it is on.

The top made out of a gold tone silk that is a beautifully light in weight. It is very soft and supple and just glides over you once it is on. I love that it is lined in a matching coloured silk organza. The organza lets it stay very light in weight but feels beautiful once on the body. The straps twist and curve up and over the shoulders. They are caught up with a little band of silk at the front and then the front plunges into a V. Little pleats are gathered into two sewn rows just above a muted gold grosgrain ribbon that is attached all the way around the waist. Under the ribbon it has a little peplum that flares out slightly. The back is phenomenal. The straps twist until they meet the back and then they extend down in that same twisting way to edge the low scoop of the back. This leaves your entire back there and open. It is so pretty. Excellent condition with a small note below

Fully lined in a matching silk organza and closes at the side with a hidden set zipper. I see a tiny bit of a pull in the fabric near the edge of the top stitching and here and there. Tagged a vintage Prada 40.

The twin of this gorgeous little Gucci sweater walked the runway for a Look 26 for the Fall 2001 collection. We have included runway photos here for you to see how sexy this is once on the body along with an editorial shot that we found. During this time period Tom Ford was the Creative Director and was breathing new life into the label. He was known for his slick and simple yet still sexy silhouettes that highlighted every curve of a woman's body. He took over the label in 1994 and his presence was a game changer. His modern take revived the label and brought in a younger audience. In 2001 he was on the top of his game and everyone who was anyone was wearing Gucci. This is a great example of what he was doing at the label at this moment in time. 

This is a beautifully cut sweater and really showcases what Ford was all about while at this label. It is made to sit soft and slightly oversized on the body. The collar and the inside of the cuffs are lined with a soft sheared mink and then the rest of the sweater is made of a black angora. The collar is cut wide across and sits down at one side so that it sits off shoulder and expose bare skin on that side. The sleeves are cut to follow that offset line and this makes it appear that the one on the dropped side is longer and sits lower than the one on the other side. This is on purpose and you can see how this sits in the runway shots here. The body of the sweater is loose and easy and the angora is extremely soft and of an extremely high quality. The cuffs are a full six inches long and they are split up their inside seams. This creates that bit of volume and flare that you see. The mink lines the inside part of the cuffs so you have that incredible softness against your hand. When you move you see just a hint of it. I love the ribbing that is done at the very bottom of the sweater. It lets you move and hold the sweater in place where you wish around the waist and it gives the sweater just enough shape that it doesn't feel unintentionally sloppy. It is very sexy and very sensual. Excellent condition 

Unlined and slips over the head to wear. Tagged a Gucci medium. It appears to have been worn very little, if at all. The knit does have some stretch. The measurements below are the comfortable range laying flat.

This top is from the second last ready-to-wear collection that Thierry Mugler presented. It is from the Spring 2001 season and it is an absolutely outstanding piece. It's twin walked the runway that season and I am very happy to have photos and video for reference for you to be able to see how phenomenal this sits on the body. He experimented with materials that included leather and netting as you see in this piece and the appearance of these wide angel sleeves were of note. I've only ever seen one other piece of this available that was done in a different colour from the runway piece like this one is in it's a phenomenal collectors piece

The top is made out of a brown silk net that has those wonderful, leather pieces, hand sewn into place onto the netting. These are set to follow the design of the top. It wraps over itself at the front and ties at the waist, and you can tie it to the side, the back the front however you wish. The ties are extremely long and they are detailed with those little oblong pieces of leather in different sizes laid out to follow the cut of each tide. More leather curves down to follow the shape of the neckline at the front and go all the way across to the sides of the top. They curve up and over to the back where they come down in a little angled point there. The sleeves are as phenomenal as those long front ties. Each one ends in an extremely wide angel shape and is cut extra long. Again the little leather pieces have been applied to follow the shape of the sleeve and some go all the way up almost to the shoulder. I love how some are left to hang over the edge of the top on each sleeve. It just has that little extra bit of genius dimension. It is just outstanding. Excellent condition
