• The twin of this dress walked the Spring 2019 Chloe runway for a Look 52
• It was made under the creative direction of Natacha Ramsay-Levi.
• This is a wonderfully documented piece. A version appeared in the ad campaign, seen on the red carpet and was shot for an editorial. I love that this lets you see how wonderful it is once on the body.
• The Vogue review of the show noted that "Natacha Ramsay-Levi's instincts lead her to Ibiza and Morocco and what she described variously as hippie, modernism and new age Boho." They noted this dress in particular saying "the plisse goddess gown worn by Grace Hartsell" was one of the "clothes with the most persuade of power, exuding and elegant unfettered purity."
• This dress was the stand out piece from the collection in my opinion and it is even better in person.
• The dress is made out of a lightweight chiffon that is pleated and textured in a soft plisse that is set vertically from shoulder to hem. At first glance, you might think that all the colours are separate panels that have been attached together, but it is actually dyed vertical stripes down the length of the dress. I love how where they meet a softly fade into the colour next to it.
• The chiffon is light in weight and the plisse adds such a gorgeous texture. I am very glad that we have both the runway photos and so many reference photos and video for you to see how fantastically it moves once on.
• The front is set in two triangles that meet at a seam just under the bus. This repeats at the back where the panels meet in a more true V.  I love how this gives you four distinct panels and leaves the sides open to that same sea under the bust. Even with the plunging the way that it has been cut keeps it very secure around you.
• A peplum made of the same fabric circles all the way around the waist for a pretty detail.
• Under that screw in a beautiful column of the plisse fabric. There's actually quite a bit of fabric in the skirt that only shows when you begin to move and walk. And the lightness of the fabric gives you beautiful movement around you as you can see in the video.
• At the back panels of the same fabric have been attached at the top of each shoulder with a little ruffle for added detail.
• These panels fall down the back connecting at their centre to create the feel of a cape behind you. They are cut, so they're a little longer on each outer edge to fall slightly past the hem of the dress.
• The panels only add to the beautiful movement that the dress has.
• The the colour is described as being sand brown on the label and it is a very pretty muted colour with the feel of beach or desert sand.
• The lightness of the fabric gives it incredible movement as you move. It is a fantastically cut dress that perfectly encapsulates the Chloe girl.
• The dress is lined behind the panels of the bodice in a matching chiffon, and the skirt is unlined. It closes with a hidden set back zipper. The dress is new with its original tag and appears to have never been worn.

• This is a very very pretty little dress from the Fall 2006 Chloe collection
  
• The dress is strapless and gathered across the bodice in a series of soft gathers that wrap around to the back.
• Inside there is light boning and structure to hold the dress around you.
• The waist nips in under that and gathers extend slightly past that just above the top of the hip.
• Some of the chiffon has been gathered along one side of the waist and then a wide deeper ivory panel of fabric wraps around the waist and is brought into a half bow on one side with the ends trailing down.
• Under that the skirt is made out of a matching ivory chiffon and it is gathered in all the way around the waist to create soft pleats to the hem.
• As it nears the hem it flares out slightly and I love how the chiffon has been caught up and curved back back under the hem of the skirt. This gives it a little bit of extra volume and a pretty movement when you move.
• Underneath the edge of the skirt there is a pretty little scalloped ruffle set in three layers so you just see a touch of it peeking out from the edge of the hem.
  
• The dress is fully lined in an ivory silk and it closes with an exposed zipper at the back. I see some very shallow marks under each arm and tiny bit of fraying along the edge. Please see the photos after the label shot. They are very minor, but mentioned for accuracy.

• After much research I believe this to be from the Spring 1979 Chloe collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Karl Lagerfeld. 
• In this collection he moved away from 1940s as his inspiration into the sex appeal of the 1950s, said the book 'Chloe Catwalk'. The silhouettes were based on the hourglass. In that same book there was a very similar floral patterns shown I have included several photos here for you.
• Hand placed gathering emphasizes the hips for many of the pieces in this collection, along with extra emphasis on the waist. Lagerfeld said of the collection to the press "Frivolity is important. I want shape and sensualness."
• The dress is made from one of his signature feather light silks being used during this time period for Chloe. It is screened with a custom print that mixes an ivory, more pastel coral colour and a pale lavender.
• An interesting detail is that the labels are on the side of the dress that I think is the front. The side that has the deep plunge is longer in length at the hem so I believe that should be the back. I have seen other dresses with this label placement from around this time period and when the back is plunged like this, so it is not unusual to see. I have photoed it both ways for you, with the plunge at the back and the front. You could potentially wear the plunge at the front if you don't mind the longer hem at the front much like that Lacroix dress from me that was worn to the Met Gala a couple years ago when they turned it around backwards.
• The sleeves are long and it skims over the bust to the waist. The back plunges into a low V to just above the waist. As mentioned above, it is possible that you could wear it either way around. It is incredibly sexy worn either way.
• The waist is seamed and the dress comes with its original striped screened silk belt that hooks into place around you. The stripes on the belt pick up the stripes that are on the end of each sleeve and circle around the hem.
• The skirt curves over the hips and there is a gathering of the silk for added shape. It falls to the floor with the back cut longer then the front for a slight trained effect. You get the most fantastic movement as you walk.
• The dress is in its original uncut length and is unlined. It closes with a back hand set zipper. Hand finishes throughout. There is a tiny bit of fading at the top of the shoulders and edges of the hems. The entire dress looks to be hand dyed and or screened and it presents perfectly once on as this becomes part of the uniqueness of the pattern. The belt hooks to close.
• Excellent condition with the note above.

Sleeves: 22.5" and are 11" around the upper arm
Shoulders: 14"
Bust: to 17" flat across from side seam to side seam

• The twin of this dress walked the Fall 2001 Chloe runway for the opening look of the show.
• It was made under the creative direction of Stella McCartney
• The Stella McCartney era at Chloe has since become extremely collectible. The Fall 2001 show in particular was a fantastic representation of her time at the label.
• This was the opening look for the show and in Vogue's review they specifically mentioned the faux coats that were treated so glamorously with added details saying; "Stella McCartney continued with her exploration of grown-up, couture-inspired silhouettes for Chloé, without forgetting about the youthful, fun-loving basics that are the label's bread and butter. McCartney's forte is her ability to glam up casual street clothes. Her fitted jeans and corduroy trousers with zipper pockets, face-stenciled T-shirts and pearl-encrusted draped tops all had an air of insouciant cool to them; so did the faux furs with shaved bits that accommodated clusters of silver flowers."
• It was one of the strongest looks from the show and a true piece of fashion history.
• The longer runway version coat is harder to source. They were only sent to certain stores and were a limited production piece.
• The coat is a 3/4 length and is made from a thick and soft faux fur. The cut is loose and easy and it widens out as it nears the hem for a bit of a swing coat feel.
• It has hidden fur hooks partway down the front and then swings open under that. There is a hook at the top of the collar so you can wear it folded down like how I photoed it for these photos to give it a more loose and easy feel or you can close that top hook so that it wraps around the neck like how it was worn on the runway.
• The sleeves are cut extra long and they are gathered along the inside of the wrist. This gives them a curve so that they follow the curve of the arm and it lets you wear them up a bit so they get that bit of a gathered slouchy feel.
• The inside is lined in a menswear suiting fabric that was one of her signatures.
• There are two zippered pockets in the interior that have little chains attached to the zipper pulls. On the exterior there is a pocket hidden along each hip. It is meant to feel a little big and slouchy once on and I love that.
• The best part about is of course that extraordinary detailing done on the shoulder and collar on the one side of the coat.
• Fine silver metal strips have been applied to the coat to create a series of medallions. Swirling beads and sequins sit over those to create this fantastic design that goes across the top of the arm, under the shoulder at the front, and then runs up and into the collar and around to the back.
• It is just brilliant and an amazing piece of fashion history.
• Fully lined with two interior pockets as described above. It closes with hidden fur hooks at the front. Pockets on each hip. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. It's easy cut should allow it to fit a range of sizes and just feel more oversized on a smaller frame.
