This is the second dress I have by Gucci from the Fall 2001 collection recently and for this one its twin walked the runway for Look 20. We have included runway photos here for you to see how gorgeous this dress is once on the body. 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 very wearable and chic example of what he was doing at the label at this moment in time. 

This dress is simple and easy. Don't let it simplicity fool you because this is one of the dresses that you will reach for over and over. It is so easy to wear and very flattering. I love that it is a piece that you can easily wear as a layered piece with something under it or over it. The dress has a scoop at the neckline and the shoulders are soft with no padding. The sleeves are long and simple. It skims over the bust, waist and hips and then flares out slightly as it nears the hem. It is made out of a very lightweight black crepe silk. Once on the body it feels like you're wearing virtually nothing. You can see how this also adds movement to the dress as you walk when you watch the runway video that I have attached here. The only detailing Ford has used are zippers. There is a chunky silver zipper at the back of the neck that is surrounded by a black grosgrain ribbon. A second zipper runs from under the arm on one side to the hem. I love that the zipper there has a zipper pull at each of its ends. The one at the top is for you to get into the dress and then the one at the bottom allows you to create as high of a slit as you dare. It is insanely good. Excellent condition.

The dress is unlined and closes with the side zipper and a zipper at the back of the neck as described above. Tagged a vintage Gucci 40. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. It is meant to sit a bit oversized on the body

The Fall 1994 Chanel show by Karl Lagerfeld is perhaps one of the most well known of his older shows. This is the show where Karl introduced many of his now iconic faux fur looks. In that show he also did a series of these great little coats that were shown with hats and wide belts on the runway. The twin of this one walked the runway for Look 20 and I love that this gives you the chance to see it on a body. It is so so good. 

The colour of this jacket seems to be in extremely dark blue that looks black depending on the lighting. Every time I decide that it is one colour I see it in a slightly different light or from a different angle and I change my mind again. The jacket itself is stunning. It feels like it is made out of a cashmere or perhaps a cashmere mix and is very soft to the touch. It is a more structured piece and the lines of it are amazing. The collar is wide and notched and the sleeves are long. Each sleeve ends in a cuff that is highlighted by four gold Chanel logo embossed buttons. I love that each buttonhole on the cuffs are functional which shows the high level of construction in the piece. The vertical seams of the jacket are highlighted by top-stitched thin panels of in same fabric. These circle all the way around the waist and is done on all of the main seaming on the entire bodice. It buttons up down the front with nine more of those gorgeous Chanel logo buttons. The skirting is phenomenal and when you lay it out flat you realize that it is a full true circle skirt if not a little beyond a circle. This gives it that incredible flare that you see and incredible movement as you move. On the runway they cinched in the waist with wide belts and if you wanted to re-create that look you could easily add your own. The workmanship on this coat fantastic.  It is everything you look for in a vintage Chanel piece. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a deep blue silk lining and closes down the front as shown. The buttons on the pockets and cuffs are all functional. Light padding in each shoulder. Tagged a vintage Chanel 40.

This is a fantastic Gucci coat from the Fall 2001 season. Its twin in a pale pink was worn on the runway by Karolina Kurkova for Look 21. I love that you can see how fantastic it is on and moving in the photos and in the video that we have for it. 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 often 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 during this time period. 

As good as the coat is in the pink colour of the runway I think the black makes it far easier to wear and style with more things. The black also gives it a bit more longevity since the pink would be so easily marked. The fabric is a rich luxurious cashmere that is fantastic to the touch. The lines of the coat are very simple and it is classic Tom Ford in feel. The coat zips up the side with a zipper that has a textured leather panel on either side of that chunky zipper. The zipper is double ended so you can open it from the neck or choose to open it from the bottom to create a slit if you want to show a bit of a leg. It is so well-made and the silhouette is so classic that I think you could wear this as either a coat layered over other things or on its own. The collar is high and and it is meant to be worn sitting up to frame the neck. It snaps into place just above the zipper with two hidden set snaps. You can also unsnap and fold it down. The sleeves are long and slim with a slight tapering in towards the waist. The shoulders have slight shaping but with very soft padding and the body of the coat falls in a fairly straight column. It skims past the bust, waist and hips and there are hidden pockets along the seams of each side. It is phenomenal. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in the slightly textured black lining that you see in Gucci pieces from this time and zips to close at the front as described above. The neckline closes with two hidden set snaps. Pockets on each hip and very light minimal padding in each shoulder.

Sleeves: 24.5" and 12" around the upper arm
Shoulders: 15"
Bust: 19" flat across from side seam to side seam

This spectacular dress is the twin of the dress that was worn by Linda Evangelista for the Fall 1994 Karl Lagerfeld runway show. It also has the added provenance of being photoed for British Vogue that November. The dress is from Karl Lagerfeld's own label. He launched his self-named label in 1984 and this dress is from 1991 making it a fairly early example of the work he was doing for his own label. Pieces from his personal label were far edgier then the work he did for Chanel. It was a label where he explored a more avant garde feel with his designs and pushed the envelope more. This is a fantastic example of his work for that label. 

This is a fantastic dress. It is easy to wear and very sexy. On the runway Linda was styled with it falling completely off the shoulder and you can wear it like that or have that side sit up more on the actual shoulder. The edge of the neckline is cut on a angle that goes across and down to expose a bare expanse of skin. The shoulders are soft and the sleeves are cut to be a little extra long. At the ends of each sleeve  they are finished off at angle that comes down and over the hand. The fabric is a cut velvet set in little rows over a bias cut chiffon base. The colour is a deep burgundy red that is flattering on most skin tones. It skims over the bust waist and hips and I love how the rows are set on an angle to create the illusion of extra length. The hem follows the dip of the neckline with the skirt falling all the way to the floor on the one side and then coming up to about the knee area depending on your height on the other. It is fantastic and I love the tie in to Linda. Excellent condition with one minor note below.

Fully lined in a silk mix chiffon and slips on the wear. I see the tiniest bit of flattening of the velvet under the arm area. Tagged a vintage KL 42

Sleeves: 27" and 11" around the upper arm
Slightly dropped shoulders: 16"
Bust: 15-19" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist: 13-18" flat across from side seam to side seam

I always love finding original Versace pieces from when Gianni was alive and headed the label. This is a fantastic piece by him whose twin walked the Spring 1997 runway for Look 30 on none other than the great Stella Tennant. A piece in this sane print was chosen for the ad campaign that year and the twin of this dress was a part of the  2001 Versace exhibit. This was the last spring Ready-to-Wear collection that Versace worked on before his death which adds another layer of importance to the piece. This is a fantastic example of the work he was doing at this time and it is also an amazing dress in its own right.

The entire collection was based around these slinky light weight fabrics and flounced skirts that you see on this dress. For this collection Gianni commissioned several artists to contribute prints and this heart motif that was shown on several items in the show was done by American artist Jim Dine who was known for doing hearts in his work. On the runway only the outer dress was shown over matching red panties and then when it was produced and shipped to stores it came with its little red inner slip dress. The dress is made from an ultra fine sheer red netting and the hearts have been applied onto that netting. Some of them are a deep red with purple edges and then the others have a beautiful little heart within a heart pattern. These are placed in rows over the entire dress. The little slip that goes underneath is a solid red and adding it keeps the dress opaque enough to wear. If you are daring you could of course forego the slip and just wear something else underneath that shows more skin through the top layer. The neck is scooped at the front and the sleeves are long. The dress is cut to skim over the body and it is easy over the bust, waist and hips. The skirt flares out from there and there is a little ruffle in the same fabric around the hem to create that little flounce that was seen throughout the show. This is a stunning and important example from one of his final collections. Excellent condition with one small note below.

The separate red slip serves as the lining and the dress slips over that. The inner slip has no closures and the outer dress closes with a hidden set back zipper. I see a tiny mark on the bodice of the inner dress. Please see the photo after the label shot. The inner dress is marked a size 44. Both pieces have some stretch and I put the comfortable range of measurements below.

I love that this dress shows you the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to Gucci. The other Gucci I am listing today is from the Tom Ford era and then you have this one from the Alessandro Michele era. The twin of the dress was shown for the Resort 2017 show for Look 10. It was one of the dresses from that show that was featured predominantly in many publications as well as being worn on the red carpet. This is always been one of my favourites from his work for the label and I am very pleased to have it in the shop. It is so pretty.

If you love an amazing dot moment then this is the dress for you. It is made out of a black silk chiffon with prominent white dots covering the entire surface of the dress. The neckline is high and finished with a wide ruffle for a pretty touch. Around the top of the neck is an attached black grow grain ribbon that is set to the side, where it ties and then has ribbons that trail down the front. A pretty floral pin sits there to hold the tie in place and add an extra bit of detailing. The shoulders are soft and the sleeves are very full above their cuffs. Each cuff has been finished with a pink silk ribbon and then that has a simple row of prong set rhinestones and faux pearls set all the way around the wrist. I love this little detail and the movement that the sleeves add to the dress. The top is cut to blouse over you and the waist line is set loose and easy with no defined seam. It skims over the hips from there to the floor. Onto the dress from the shoulder down to the hip is a ruffle that curves over you and then that ruffle goes behind you and down one side of the skirt. There is another ruffle that is picked up and goes down the other side of the skirt. When this is on and you are moving it is incredible. The dress has a touch of a 1920s, 1930s vibe to it that I love. This is a dress that you just throw on and it instantly drapes and falls into place perfectly each time. I love that you can pair it with different colour accessories to give it a fresh feel. It's very pretty and very easy to wear. Excellent condition with minor note below.

Fully lined in a black silk chiffon and closes with a hidden set side, zipper and buttons at the back of the neck above a keyhole. I see a line running down the bodice of the silk and there are a couple tiny ones here and there. One button on the neck has been replaced. Please see the photo after the label shot.

This Chanel dress is an exceptional piece for the collector and is very beautiful. This dress is from the Chanel Fall 2004 and it’s twin walk the show for Look 13. For this show Karl played off of both feminine and masculine themes. The show was presented on an asphalt catwalk labelled "One-Way Street". The dresses that appeared on the runway were mixed in with the menswear inspired pieces and they clearly took their inspiration from the twenties and thirties. You can see that in the lines of this dress. I have had a series of these floral dresses by Chanel in the shop recently and this one is from a bit earlier than the last two have been. It is definitely as pretty as its predecessors were and I love the added provenance on it. Its twin was shot by Karl himself for the ad campaign that season and a version was also used for an editorial for British Vogue. I love it. 

The dress is a work of art and the silk chiffon mixed with a pale top stitched lace that was used to make it is some of the prettiest I have seen. The fabric is very light and while silk chiffon is notoriously difficult to work with this dress does it with ease. It falls into place perfectly once on the body. and it is just spectacular. The dress is covered in the most beautiful floral print in soft ivory and nude pink pastels. It is sleeveless and the upper portion of the bodice mix is the latest with the silk chiffon. The lace serves as the base layer of the bodice and then the silk chiffon has been draped over that. It wraps around the neck and down to a centre point at the base of the V of the neckline. More panels come in from the side and also up from the waist. In between the panels is the lace that is backed by a single layer of the same printed floral silk chiffon. This gives it a very feminine feel that I love. The upper back is a layer of lace and chiffon and it has an open keyhole from the neck to the band at the waist. Chiffon ties extend from the fabric that wraps around the neck and trails down the back. It skims over the bodice and down to the waist where a wide soft panel of lace that wraps around you to the back. Where the fabric wraps around the waist from the front there is a series of little iridescent pink dome buttons with Chanel inscribed upon them. The dress falls from there in a swoop of feather light silk to a the hem. Wide panels of the lace are interspersed with panels of the silk chiffon all the way around the skirt. This sits over an inner ivory silk chiffon layer so that it is wearable and not fully transparent. The back feels slightly fuller than the front so you get this pretty billowing effect around you when you walk. This is a signature Karl silhouette to give the dress as much movement as possible and you can see that in the reference photos here. The dress comes with a large shawl made out of the same silk chiffon and edged in a tiny bit of the lace. Last, but certainly not least, is the fact that the famous double C logo is worked all through the print of the dress making it impossible to not know that you are wearing Chanel. The dress appears to have been worn very little if at all. Excellent condition

The lace is backed with the same silk chiffon through the bodice and then there is an inner skirt made out of an ivory silk chiffon underneath the top skirt as described above. It closes at the neck with a hook and eye, buttons at the base of the keyhole and then zips to close under that. Current Chanel silk chiffon dresses with this level of detailing are retailing for $9000USD and over.

This is a fun find. The twin of this dress in a bright purple was won by Fran Drescher in an episode of the Nanny that aired in 1997. We have included that for you so that you can see how fabulous it is on the body. The black is even easier to wear I think and so versatile. It is a great little dress and I love the tie in with Fran's iconic character. 

This is a really fabulous little dress. It is made from a synthetic black fabric that has an unusual dot pattern running over its surface. What makes it unusual is that the dots are not sequins that have been applied to the dress instead they are a little tiny holographic dots that are fused directly onto the fabric. The dots catch the light from every angle but in a subtle way that I love. The dress has a very simple cut. The neckline drops in a little squared off scoop at the front and it is sleeveless. It is slightly more fitted over the bust and then from there the dress skims over you waist and hips with no horizontal seaming to break the line. The skirt falls under that and widens out as it nears the hem. We took a shot of the dress laying flat so you could see the shape better. It is a gorgeous little easy-to-wear dress and really showcases Versace's innovative eye and design genius. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. Excellent condition

The twin of this set walked the Spring 1990 runway and it is one of my favourite looks from that show. This set is not 100% perfect but it is completely wearable and too good to pass by. I am very pleased to have found it and I love it. It is such a rare and special piece from this time period.

This set is one of those pieces that just stops you in your tracks. It is insanely cut and the colour combination is fantastic. The jacket is made from a fine lightweight silk and combines a bright emerald green and then an amazing hot pink interior. The skirt is made out of a light black silk jersey that moves exceptionally well. The colours are even better than how it photoed and it is almost shocking to see the pink interior in person. The jacket has a soft cut that has some fullness through the upper body. There is no collar and the neckline dips down into a V to just below the bust. There is a brilliant flower in a muted coral red that sits at the base of the V. The flower has beading detail at its centre and I love this added detailing. The shoulders are lightly padded for shape and the sleeves are set into the jacket with soft gathers to add a touch of a capped feel. Each sleeve is cut slightly wider at the top near the shoulder and is cut on a slight curve to follow the arm. There is a seam gathered at the very front of the waist under the flower which creates a little ruffled detail. Inside the jacket there is a built in waist stay to keep the jacket in place but it is only attached at the sides and front. This allows the silk to drape loose and soft across the back. It is quite a genius. The skirt is simple in shape but has its own wow factor. The waist is banded and there is an attached black satin tie to add a little detail. The jersey is all gathered into the waist and falls in a soft straight line to the knee depending on your height. Hidden pockets sit on each hip. This is a particularly wonderful example of how he combined strong tailoring with brilliant colour. Excellent overall condition with a note below

The jacket is lined in a shocking pink silk. The jacket hooks to closes under the flower pin and the inner waist stay also hooks to close. The jacket has its original hang tag. Light padding in the shoulders. I see some yellowing areas to the fabric lightly scattered over the surface and more apparent in the crook on one arm. Please see the photos after the label shot. The skirt zips to close at the side. Pockets on the each hip. The skirt has a numbered label and is hand finished throughout. It almost appears to be a couture piece. The jacket is tagged a vintage YSL 40

Vogue raved about this show saying that it was Clare's most confident Chloe show to date. The show had a bit of a folksy feel to it and given what we just saw on the recent Chloe runway this feel very relevant still. Clare said after the show that "To be modern, it has to be real. I really wanted to capture something confident, but still with a carefree spirit. I can only describe the Chloé girl as a 'gentlewoman,' wearing guardsmen's coats and gentlemen's clothing, but still with the flou and lingerie lace. There is something clean and narrow about her silhouette, but still with a fluidity to it." The twin of this dress was the final look presented in the show and it was just one of several amazing pieces in that collection. The skirt in the same fabric was used in the ad campaign and it appeared in several editorials and on red carpets. 

The dress is made out of a soft velvet that has an incredible patchwork print covering its entire surface. The neckline is lightly scooped at the front and then the back crosses over itself to create a deep open plunge. I love that this leaves a bare expanse of skin at the back. It is completely unexpected and when you turn around it is a little unanticipated sexiness. The sleeves are long and easy. The body of the dress is cut to be loose and easy over you with an almost caftan feel to it from the front. It skims over the bust and the waist and hips are meant to be loose and easy. From there the skirt falls in this extravagant swoosh of bias cut velvet that has incredible movement when you move. At the waist area there is a long cord that has stops on each side of the waist. You can use these to adjust and add shape through the waist or leave it completely open so it has that more caftan feel. The ties hang down each side and add a touch more movement when you walk. Because of the way that it is crossed over at the back the skirt is also crossed over and a slit is created so you get a flash of leg as you walk. It is so well made that you can even wear it backwards like Karen Elson when she wore its twin. The patchwork print is fabulous and gives it its fabulously glamorous bohemian feel. It is immensely flattering once on and should work an a wide variety of shapes. This is a dress you will want to wear over and over. And it has pockets. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. Excellent condition

The body of the dress is fully lined in a black silk chiffon and the sleeves are unlined. It slips over the head to wear and then you can adjust the waist as described above. Tagged a 38. The loose and easy cut should work on a range of sizes. On a smaller frame it will just feel more like a caftan

Sleeves: approx 27" to their longest points
Soft shoulders: 16"

This is a fabulous three-piece complete set circa 1972 from the Valentino boutique label. Valentino launched his ready-to-wear label in 1962 just two years after opening his first salon in Rome. His work was so popular that when he launched the New York boutique in the fall of 1970 it shut down the city. Traffic was backed up 3 blocks with everyone who was anyone trying to get in on opening night. He wanted everyone to have access to the Valentino experience and 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. On this set you can see that in the hand finishing that is has. Though I have seen various combinations of these pieces this is the first time I've seen all three sold as a proper full set. I love it.

This really is an incredible set and it shows his love of prints. I love how all three pieces use the same print layered on top of each other and the combination of the two fabrics. The skirt and jacket are made out of a flat pile cotton velvet and the top is made out of a scarf weight silk. A charming acorn pattern combined with flowers covers all three pieces and you will notice how the design on the skirt and jacket are weighted heavier towards the bottom. This draws the eye downwards and cleverly gives added length to the wearer. On the top the pattern is scattered evenly over the entire bodice which gives a slight contrast to the other two pieces. The skirt is banded at the waist and skims over the hips. There are pockets on each hip for the perfect slouchy feel. It falls to the floor in a slight A-line that perfectly showcases that gorgeous print. The jacket is also made of a velvet and it has an equally simple cut. It has soft shoulders and the sleeves end just above each wrist depending on the length of your arms. There is a yoked seam across the top of the bodice on the front and the back and then the jacket falls in a soft A0line from there to just past the hips. The jacket also has pockets and these are sat at each hip on a slight slant. It has no closures and is meant to just sit over the little silk top underneath. The top is everything you want from a piece from the 1970s. It has a structured and very pointed little collar and it buttons down the front. It is shaped to follow the curves of the body and then the sleeves are phenomenal. Each is cuffed and above that there is that beautifully shaped arm that balloons out extensively just above the cuff. I love that the three pieces are phenomenal when worn together but they are also pieces that you can easily mix-and-match with everything else in your wardrobe. Excellent condition.

The top is unlined and buttons to close at the front. There are two buttons on each cuff. It is tagged a size 6 and I see evidence that the back was let out a touch. The jacket is fully lined in a brown silk. It has no closures and it is tagged a vintage Valentino 10. The skirt closes with a flat hook and eye at the waist and a zipper below that. It is lined in a black silk and it is tagged a vintage Valentino size 8. It has pockets on each hip

This lovely little Prada dress is made out of lightweight silk and then the silk has this soft floral pattern printed into it in shades of the prettiest greens. It gives this fabulous soft and romantic feel that has a touch of the 40s to it. The dress has pretty little capped sleeves and the front is done in a V for a little bit of bare skin. Kirsten wore hers with a skinny belt  for added shape and you could easily re-create this at home. The silk at the front of the bodice has been gathered into a little ruffled detail there that I love. The ruffle sits on a curve seam that curves underneath the bust and down to the waist. Where it curves over to the side of the waist there is a second little ruffle detail there as well. The silk is also gathered in from the skirt there as well which makes the whole upper bodice have this really pretty and soft feel. It skims over the bust and waist and then falls to the ham in a soft little A-line. It has a chic and easy feel to it that I absolutely love. It appears to have been worn very little if at all and it has the added modern provenance of having a version worn by Kirsten Dunst that year. Excellent condition

This one of the most spectacular dresses that Halston ever made and versions of it reside in The Metropolitan Museum collection and and another version was on display for the "Halston and Warhol: Silver and Suede Exhibit" in 2015. We have included those as well as several other reference photos documenting the various forms of this dress that he did. It is from his Spring 1981 and of this point Halston was still in full control of his brand. He had not yet signed the international licensing agreements that would be the beginning of his downfall in 1983. He was at the top of his game and anyone who was anybody was wearing the Halston label. His prices were sky high and the work put into the pieces was impeccable. This is a fabulous example of his work. from this time period

Halston's beaded and sequin pieces were being made in India during this time period where some of the best of this type of work was being done during this time period. Halston personally chose the fabrics and materials that were used for each piece of his collection and then sent them to India where they were beaded and sequinned to his specific instructions and assembled. The 1981 collection was especially intricate and the majority of the runway garments were heavily beaded and/or sequinned. This dress is absolutely gorgeous and all of the bead and sequin work on it is completely done by hand. Silver tube beads and pale iridescent sequins with just a touch of colour sequins are mixed with pastel blue and soft, pastel turquoise sequins. Then to define the edges of the pattern you have a series of faux pearls worked through the mix. Everything is laid out in an intricate and instantly recognizable pattern that covers the dress from neck to hem. Each bead and sequin has been hand applied onto an ivory silk chiffon base that has a touch of transparency. I love how it glitters and sparkles in the light from every angle. No matter how good this dress looks in the photos it is even better in person. The cut is easy and flattering to wear. The neckline is high and scooped and is edge with tightly space beads. It skims over the bust to the hips and then flares out just slightly as it nears the hem. The sleeves are cut slightly wider at the top and then barrow down to the wrist where they have same border of sequins as the neckline. It is amazingly comfortable to wear because of the easy cut. Every square inch of the dress is finished in that amazing pattern that combines curving rounded patterns with angled bands. I absolutely love it. Excellent condition

The dress is unlined and closes with a back set zipper. The bead work is completely hand done. The easy cut should fit a variety of sizes. It is incredible.

This jacket is based on the Fall 1999 version jacket designed by Alexander that I have actually had a red version of in the shop before. If the jacket looks familiar, that is why. Sarah Burton decided to dive into the archives and use that 1999 jacket as her inspiration to make this piece. Its twin opened the show as the first look that season and one was used for the ad campaign. Iconic in 1999 and iconic in 2018.

A piece like this truly showcases the McQueen heritage of strong tailoring and master cutting abilities. The upper portion of the coat is cut with a nod to a traditional men's suit. It still feels very refined despite its avant grade shape and cut. The shoulders are shaped and lightly padded with a slight soft slope to them. Each sleeve is long and simple and  has a row of four silk satin buttons to finish them at their ends. The body of the coat is shaped in a touch at the waist for shape. It closes with a single button at the base of the collar and functional flap pocket sits on each hip. Each pocket is set on a slight angle that follows the shape of the jacket. The lapels curve around the neckline and run down to the button. They are notched cut and finished in the same silk satin fabric as that buttons and the buttons on the cuffs. The coat slides over the hip and then flares out dramatically into an extended rectangle creates the shape that you see. We shot the jacket with one side held out for you to see just how amazing it is cut. When it is on it falls more behind you and around you at the sides and it has tremendous movement when you walk and move. The back part of the the extension is lined in a red silk satin for a dramatic contrast. It appears to have been worn very little, if at all. Excellent condition. 

Fully lined in a black silk through the top and that shot of red silk on the bottom extension. It closes with a single button at the front. Decorative buttons on each cuff. Tagged a modern McQueen size 38. The front pockets are still tacked shut. Padding in the shoulders.

The twin of this dress in black was shown as Look 78 for the 2015 Resort presentation. I love this that they also produced this chic ivory version. In 2015 Valentino was headed by both Maria Grazia Chiuri and PierPaolo Piccioli. They had stepped into Mr Valentino's shoes and were breathing new life into the brand. In the Vogue review for this collection they said: "Monastic, artistocratic, modest, and even prim have been terms applied to Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli's Valentino almost since they took over in 2009." Most of the looks in the show followed a more exuberant and colourful feel but the black version of this dress was one stand out that maintained their more simplistic and minimal approach. l absolutely love this dress. It was well documented and it's twin was worn by several celebrities which we have included here for you to see.

The dress does not have a single unnecessary seam. It really shows how sometimes absolute minimalism is best. Even with its simplicity it would still be a dress that is red carpet worthy or would make an amazing wedding dress for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration. And of course it could also be worn to any other event. The dress is made from an ivory silk crepe that has a beautiful drape. This is what lets it move so beautifully over the body once it is on. It is constructed so that it drapes and skims over the body perfectly. The skirt falls to the floor in a sweeping expanse of fabric. When you stand still it looks more like a sleek column but when you move you realize how much fabric is in there as it billows out behind you. The bodice drapes softly over you at the front. The silk extends over the shoulders from the back and then it falls to the floor to create this elegant and still dramatic caped feeling over your arms. The fabric has enough weight that it stays in place when you are standing still but when you move you get a beautiful billowing effect around you. It is very beautiful. Excellent condition

Unlined and closes with a hidden set side zipper on the inner dress. Tagged a Valentino 6. Perhaps the tiniest bit of grubbiness to the hem and I see a pinhead size mark on the bodice but otherwise I don't think it has ever been worn. Very minor and just mentioning for accuracy. Please see the photo after the label shot. It otherwise appears to have been worn very little if at all. The easy cut should allow it to fit a range of sizes.

This is a fabulous Pucci that I think is a production piece for the shops from the Peter Dundas era at Pucci. It is an absolutely gorgeous dress that is easy to wear and very flattering on. I love that it is a beautiful ivory colour would allow it to be worn by a bride looking for something non-traditional or as part of a extended wedding weekend. Though it would also work for any fabulous occasion. It has an easy to wear caftan feel to it but at the same time there is a clever single seam that runs from just under the arm and down one side of the body that gives the dress just a touch of shape. The silk has been cut on the bias and this lets it move with you as you move. The ivory silk has enough weight to make it flattering as it skims and drapes over you but that is still light enough that it easily moves. The dress has the absolute minimal seaming and it is cut to simply fall from that one single shoulder in a cascade of fabric. The other shoulder is left bare and exposed. On the side that is covered the fabric falls over the arm and down to the floor on a slight angle that keeps it from feeling like too much fabric. Starting from under the one arm and running up and over the other shoulder is a wide band of white tube beads mixed with muted gold beading. These catch the light in a subtle way and add a little bit of extra glamour to the piece. The side that is set on an angle is open beneath that inner set seam that runs to just about the hip area so you get a flash of bare leg when you walk or sit. It a subtle bit of sexiness that is amazing. The dress moves like a dream and feels like it just floats around you as you move. It is just a fantastic dress. Excellent condition with one small note below.

Unlined and slips on to wear with a hidden set zipper under the arm. The easy fit should allows it to work on almost any size. Tagged a IT42 FR38 US8 UK10. In its original uncut supermodel length. I see some minor grubbiness around the hem area

This gorgeous dress is from the Spring 2019 Oscar de la Renta collection under the creative direction of Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia. This was a piece that was produced for the shops and it is stunning and easy to wear. It is a definite show stopper and I love it.

The dress is amazing. It is made out of a light weight ivory silk crepe with extensive embroidery work done with a gold medal thread that runs across the entire front of the dress. I love that since it is in this ivory colour that this is a piece that might play double duty and also work for a bride or for an extended wedding weekend. The dress is cut in a long minimalist sheath that widens out softly as it near the hem. The neckline is scooped wide across and the dress is meant to skim over you from bust to hips before it starts to do that soft flare out on the lower skirt. The entire front of the dress from neck to hem has a stunning trailing design that mixes a gold medal thread with tiny gold sequins little gold seed beads. These are set in a curving design that represents leaves and flowers all the way down the front. It is a stunning detail that adds beautiful impact to the dress. The sleeves are the absolute star of the show. Starting at each shoulder a caped sleeve in the same fabric falls over the top of your arm and then widen out to cascade all the way to the hem and slightly past. They are open underneath so this gives them the ability to catch the slightest bit of air in billow out around and behind you when you move. It is the perfect touch of drama that softens the rest of the dress. It is stunning. Excellent condition with a minor note below.

Fully lined in an ivory silk and slips on to wear with a hook & eye above a back keyhole. I see a small mark near the hem and minor grubbiness round the hem. Please see the photo after the label shot. Tagged a modern ODLR Small. The loose and easy cut should fit a range of sizes.

Shoulders: 15.5"

The twin of this dress walk the runway as Look 22 and I love that this lets you see the dress on a body. In Vogue's review of the collection they proclaimed that "For Fall, he (Alber), walked a knife edge, balanced between rigorously architectural urban simplicity and explosively fierce embellishment". Before his show, Elbaz reeled off the loops he'd put himself through to get there "Women ask for masculine tailoring, but they want to feel fragile. They want daywear, but buy evening. I designed a whole lot of draped things, but then it looked like too much. An overdose of fashion...it began with no-nonsense, clean silhouettes cut from matte stretch materials with a molded structure; dresses and coats were cut roomy in the shoulder, tapering to clutch the hips". This dress is from the part of the show that focused on that architectural simplicity and it is just gorgeous.

The fabric of the dress is part of what helps it to hold the lines that you see. I was glad that we have photos of it on a body because on the dress form, you don't really get the sense that that one side is caped and falls over the shoulder. This leaves your arm exposed and your shoulder covered. It also adds an amazing sense of drama to the dress. The slight weight of the jersey dress adds and provides structure as well and gives it a beautiful billowing effect around you as you move. The fabric is not so light that it loses the shape that he intended but is light enough to feel great on the body. The neckline is a high scoop across the front and one shoulder is zipped at its top so that you can get in and out of the dress. On that zipped side there is no sleeve and another chunky zipper runs down the side of the dress to close it under the opening for the arm. On the other side there is an elaborate panel with a pointed end that sits on the top of the shoulder. The top of your arm is tucked in under the panel and then the rest of your arm is exposed. The dress falls from there to skim over your bust, waist and hips. It gradually widens out a touch as near its hem. The hem has a raw unfinished cut and the dress is in its original supermodel length. The panel that goes over one shoulder is actually an extension that comes out out from the back fabric of the dress.. When you look more closely at the construction of the dress it is actually quite fascinating to see how it is all attached and yet still manages to feel like a separate piece. The cut of dress is quite genius actually. Excellent condition.

Unlined and closes with a zipper at the side and at the top of the shoulder as described above. No size tag present. The fabric does have some stretch and the measurements below are taken flat across with their comfortable range.

Bust: no true side seams but the front panel of fabric covers approximately 16" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist: 14-18" flat across from side seam to side seam

This is a stunning and beautiful Fall 1999 John Galliano dress that was made for for the shops based on the grouping of red dresses that closed the show. On the runway there were several pieces that were very similar in cut and feel and I have a feeling that this one may have been edited out of the actual show because it certainly could fit right in. This piece has the added provenance of being the dress that Dakota Fanning recently wore for her appearance on the Tonight Show. I love having these photos you can see how spectacular this dress is and it's always nice to have a piece with both historical and modern context. These early pieces are among the most coveted of his work, and this is a beautiful and rare example. The dress is absolutely gorgeous.

This John Galliano dress is incredibly beautiful and it is a stunning example of his work. It is also wonderful to have such an early piece of Galliano. No matter how good you think that this dress looks like in photos and on Dakota it is even better in person and moving. The dress is made out of a deep red silk that has a beautiful secondary pattern woven through the silk. I love how that woven in design catches the light as you move and adds an extra layer of visual interest to the dress. The dress is cut completely on the bias so it just glides over the body. It doesn't even have any closures, it is made to just fall over you in a sweep of bias cut fabric. It is cut to skim over the bust with a draped front that falls in a soft fold. The back is incredible and it is scooped down into a low open V that leaves your back bare. The dress skims over the waist and hips and is cut so that the bias cut of the silk follows your curves and highlights the body underneath without it being too tight and fitted. Galliano was a genius when it came to this cut. Once past the hips the dress flares out as it nears the bottom so that it has beautiful movement when you move. I love the use of the soft velvet ribbon that is used for the straps that crisscross across the back and also highlights the cut of the bodice, adding a pretty and feminine touch. The attached ribbons wrap around to crisscross over your front and then tie at the waist to add the perfect amount of detail to the otherwise perfectly simple dress. This cleverly draws the eye in to add shape but without sacrificing the comfort of the bias cut. It is just amazing.. Excellent condition with a minor note below

Unlined and slips over the head to wear. The measurements given below are the comfortable range when the dress is laying flat. Being bias cut the length may come up a bit once on the body. The very slightest touch of wear on the velvet ribbon here and there. Please see the photo after the label shot. Tagged a vintage Galliano FR38 GB10 US4

Etro has been a long favourite of the jet set and they make some of the best prints in the world. This is a more recent dress from the Spring 2022 collection and its twin walked the runway for Look 38. It must have caught the eye of Nicole Kidman and her stylist because Nicole then wore one to her premiere in December 2021. I love that this gives you the perfect opportunity to see how fantastic this dress is on the body. One thing to note about this dress is that it was incredibly expensive at retail. I found a web page of it at various retailers and it's original price was just over $20,000.

This is an absolutely stunning dress and a testament that there are modern retailers doing things right. I think I also love it because it absolutely has the feel of piece from the 1960s. The base is a pale green crepe silk chiffon and then onto that are hundreds of thousands of the tiniest little sequins I have ever seen. Different hues of green are used to create that phenomenal pattern that runs over the entire dress. It has a nod to the 60s and 70s in the way the design is laid out over the dress and the precision and care where the pattern meets at the seams is something that I appreciate. This is something you mostly see in vintage pieces and not always in modern pieces. The dress itself is simple and easy to wear and very flattering on the body. It has a short capped and simple sleeve and a simple scoop at the neck. It skims over the bust and pass the waist. There is no seam anywhere to break the eye. It continues on a curve over the hips and then falls outwards into an A-line until it reaches the floor. The simplicity of the cut makes it so flattering on and it also allows that amazing design that covers the entire dress to shine. Those thousands of tiny sequins catch the light from every angle. It is really a stunning dress. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a pale green silk and closes at the back with a hidden set zipper.

This is the actual dress that is in the book on Thea Porter's work that accompanied the exhibit n her work. The photo appears on page 88. The caption in the book notes that this dress is a "Faye dress in ikat silk chiffon, designed by Sandra Munro, with a bodice of Damascus brocade". The Faye dress was named after Faye Dunaway and she made these in various fabrications starting in 1968. It also has a Giorgio Beverly Hills tag where she sold her designs starting in 1969. It was said that when word got out that Thea had new things in the Girorgio boutique, women ran to be able to get a piece for themselves. This print was very well documented and Thea made a small series of pieces from this fabric. Each piece was made specifically so that it was cut to follow the print perfectly. This is the only one I've ever seen made in this length and in this style. Given her extremely limited run on certain pieces it may in fact be the only one that exists. It is truly a very special piece.

The cut of this dress is exceptional and this is a highly recognizable design from Thea. The neckline is scooped and edged in a gold cord that wraps around the neck and then runs down the front. It buttons to close at the front in three groups of buttons. I love how each of the buttons are covered in the same silk as the skirt and sleeves. As noted in the book the fabric of the bodice is a Damascus brocade in a muted gold with pops of turquoise and orange. Thea was known for picking up antique fabrics in her journeys and this is undoubtedly a piece or sample of fabric she sourced on her travels. I love that you feel fully covered but there is a tiny gap between the two sides of the front bodice so depending on how you move you get the tiniest glimpse of bare skin. The sleeves are phenomenal. Each is gathered into the top of the shoulder and then they are a huge balloon sleeve under that. They are made from a single layer of the Ikat printed silk chiffon and the pattern is set horizontally on the sleeves. This makes it feels like it wraps around the arm right down to the elastic cuffs. The waist is finished with a wide horizontal band of that same silk and it is cut with a more generous feel. These Faye dresses were not a true caftan but they did have that easy to wear feel to them that her caftan pieces also have. The skirt has an incredible amount of fabric. Here the Ikat print was set vertically which perfectly contrasts all the other elements of the dress and adds visual length. There is a good amount of fabric in the skirt so it moves beautifully once on the body. This is an exceptional and extremely rare example of her work. Excellent condition with a small note below

Fully lined in a green silk and zips to close at the back. The buttons at the front are functional but meant to be decorative. Each sleeve ends with an elastic. I see a tiny bit of colour change to the lining near one arm and a slight darkening to the brocade on that side as well but it is very minor and to the hem lining. The tiniest bit of a run in the fabric near the base of the zipper. Please see the photos after the label shot. The easy cut should fit a range of sizes

This is from the debut collection of Anthony Vaccarello for the Saint Laurent label. It was Look 43 on the runway. Vogue's Sarah Mower said of the collection in her review:  Vaccarello’s new position is an opportunity for which he closed his own line, to concentrate on the responsibility of reimagining whom the Saint Laurent girl might be. “She’s certainly not bourgeois or classic,” said Vaccarello. “She has a huge respect for Saint Laurent, but not in the first degree. So I thought of her taking a vintage dress and cutting into it....In particular, that dress was a puffed-shouldered number from an Yves Saint Laurent collection of 1982, and a black leather version of it opened this show.... Embracing the ’80s isn’t a stylistic stretch for Vaccarello, either; his own sexy looks have always stuck to that kind of glamor. He played on it with plunging bustier tops in leather or velvet, pelmet skirts and boyfriend jeans, a section devoted to draped gold lamé, iterations of skinny smoking suits, and variations on one-sleeved dresses."

This is one of those one shoulder pieces that formed the basis of the collection and certainly one of the more avant garde ones The body of the dress is a fine, lightweight black stretch wool fabric that falls perfectly on the body in a sleek sheath with low set pockets set on each hip. To this rather austere base, he has then added a deconstructed puffed drop sleeve. It is a daring design made out of a black lace that starts with that incredible sleeve and ends slanting down the chest. The lace is purposely finished to appear ripped and partially destroyed but the open holes are cleverly placed and planned for that perfect rock and roll defiance. The dress can be worn as shown on the runway with the lace exposing the front of the chest, however I just slightly adjusted it once on and belted it to sit a bit higher and it was fine. A nude undergarment would allow you to wear it either way. Or not if you dare. Never worn and still has part of the original tag still attached. The original retail on this was $3800USD. Excellent condition

This suit is instantly recognizable as an Alexander McQueen piece and it is stunning. The spring 2008 collection was called 'La Dame Bleue' and was a tribute to his mentor and friend Isabella Blow who had committed suicide on May of 2007 after a long bout of illness. His statement of the show was this; 'Isabella flew. The collection is exuberant and excessive. It's about her way of thinking and that way of thinking brought light into fashion. Even when she was down she was up with what she wore. I had the best times with Isabella. I remember going to Mauritius with her and I'd come back from scuba diving and it would be 100 degrees and she'd be standing on the beach head to toxin McQueen with a Philip Treacy Hat on. Or we'd be sitting around the pool and she'd still be head to toe in McQueen with a Philip Treacy hat on. I've though a lot about why she would wear things like that and she wore them because it made her feel like a diva. She was a diva in what she wore. She pulled it off. I never blinked at what she wore. It just seemed normal. So this was a collection about Isabella ad about wearing clothes that transform you." The entire show was a beautiful testament to someone he loved dearly. In Vogue's review of the collection they said; 'All terrible emotions apart, McQueen, like every other designer, can only be judged in the unsparing light of the general arena of fashion. To put it bluntly, this collection—after an off season last time—was going to stand or fall based on whether his clothes were any good....It stood. McQueen mustered the clarity to dispense with smoke and mirrors and show his capabilities in cut, drape, and feathered flourish to an audience near enough to inspect every detail. He stepped up to the plate by running through all his archived knowledge—Savile Row tailoring in Prince of Wales menswear check jackets and strict, strong-shouldered suiting, combined with the legacy of his couture experience in fan-pleated chiffon, goddess-y drape, and hand-crafted drama. The theme of birds—particularly symbolic of Blow—held the show together through a reprise of all the highlights of McQueen's career... In all, McQueen honored his mentor by striving to bring out the best in himself.' This was the fifth last collection of his career and these last collections are considered to be some of his most brilliant. 

The suit is identical to the one that walked the show with the addition of the wide black patent belt. Very few of these would have been produced and it is amazing to have such an wonderful piece of his work in the shop and to have the full suit with both its detachable feather collar and belt. This one has the extra added provenance of having been lent by me and worn by Sofia Carson for the Unicef 75th Anniversary Luncheon. Its twin was also worn by none other then Michelle Obama for her Ebony Magazine cover

A piece like this truly showcases McQueen’s strong tailoring background and master cutting abilities. The suit is made from a light black wool suiting fabric and gives a nod to his heritage and strong tailoring roots. The jacket is also cut with sharply tailored lines and then he has added that spectacular feather collar and brought in the waist with the belt to create a more feminine shape. The belt slips through slits on either side of the back. I love that it still feels very refined despite its avant garde details and cut. The shoulders are squared off and padded to hold their shape. Each sleeve is cut on a slight curve in the proper manner of tailoring a sleeve and ends in 4 buttons at each cuff. The body of the jacket is shaped with a female body in mind and is cut in at the waist for shape. It closes with a single button there. I am obsessed with the collar. The neckline is edged in a black patent that curves around the neck and narrows down to a point where it then meets the button at the waist. The feather collar is detachable and is made by a thick overlapping of red dyed feathers with black painted edges. It buttons into place along the inside of the collar and is set to stand up and frame the neck. This gives it a very unusual detailing and plays into the avian theme the show had. Under the waist the jacket skims over the hips and it is slightly cropped. Slant pockets sit on each hip and they still have their original tacking. At the back it is cut to flare out a touch. The skirt has been kept very simple so that it is the jacket that shines. It is cut with a flat front and is fitted into a short pencil silhouette. You really need to watch the runway clip to see just how stunning it in on and moving. I also photoed it in all its variations so you can see it with and without the belt and feather collar. The workmanship is meticulous and it is an absolutely beautiful and a rare piece of his work. Excellent condition with a minor note below. 

Both piece are fully lined in a black silk. The jacket closes with a single button at the front. The skirt closes with a hidden set zipper. The feather collar buttons into place and the belt closes with hidden snaps. The jacket is tagged a size 40, the skirt a 42 and the belt is a 38. Padding on the shoulders and the pockets on the jacket have their original tacking to close them. It looks like the sides of the skirt were taken in a touch at some point and when it was lent to Sofia it was taken in a little more with a temporary alteration and you can see a bit of the stitch lines on the inner lining. A bit of crinkling on the belt but it is where it sits under the jacket when on so is not seen when worn

The colours for the Fall 2016 Valentino show were muted dusty pinks, greys, neutrals and blacks. The theme of the Valentino show was all about the ballet and modern dance. Maria told Vogue that “We always think fashion is cultural, not just about delivering clothes. We want this show to be about living your moments, feeling each moment uniquely. I really love fashion. This job we do is a good opportunity to describe the time we’re in.” The twin of the dress walk the runway for Look 26 and it is an incredibly easy to wear and flattering piece once on the body.

This is a thoroughly Valentino feeling dress. The dress is made from a single layer of a feather light weight silk chiffon in the prettiest possible pale dusty pink. Think scarf weight. This is what lets it move so beautifully over the body once it is on. When you walk the fabric of the dress catches the air and billows out around you. The front is cut high to frame the neck and then falls from there, extending out from the neckline to the floor. The dress is incredibly full by the time it reaches the hem with the skirt widening out quite a bit. The dress has an amazing amount of fabric in it and it floats and moves beautifully around you. You can see the amount of fabric just by the way it falls in the photos and in the video we have added. The silk has a beautiful geometric pattern that covers the entire dress. A seam run down the centre and you can see the care that has been taken to match up the pattern on the seams there and elsewhere on the dress. The sleeves are long and the pattern continues to be matched up there. The precision in cut to have this all match and still move so beautifully should not be underestimated. It is an utterly beautiful dress and will take your breath away in person. Excellent overall condition with a note below.

Fully lined in a matching pale, dusty pink silk chiffon and closes with a hidden set back zipper. In it's original uncut length. There are some very faint watermarks near the collar, the waist of the dress and some small areas on the hem. Please see the photos after the label shot. Tagged a Valentino 8. The easy and generous cut should fit a range of sizes as long as the shoulders work.

This dress has come to me direct from one of my avid Couture and Chanel collectors. It is an exceptional piece for the collector and is extremely special. Two versions of the dress were shown on the runway and then this dress was produced for the shops in this length that falls between them in length. This one has the extra added provenance that a version was also shot on Kate Moss that season.

The dress is a work of art and the silk chiffon used to make it is some of the finest, lightest chiffon I have seen. The fabric is notoriously difficult to work with and with all the intricate detailing putting this together with the lace would have taken a ton of man hours especially at this level of workmanship. It is just spectacular. The silk has a slight texture to it which adds to the interest of the dress. It is covered in various renditions of the Chanel logo and most have an almost graffiti like feel to them. I love the pops of pink and blue that this adds. The tiny cap sleeves have a layer of lace over them and sit on the top of your shoulder. The neckline scoops down at the front and the silk is gathered up into a knot at the base of the scoop. A wide panel of lace wraps around the waist and at the back the lace extends from the sleeves all the way down to the back seam where the zipper starts. There is a open slit from the top of the neck to where the zipper begins. The skirt falls from under that band of lace at the waist and falls in a swoop of feather light silk chiffon to a raw hem. Another wide band of lace circles around the skirt just above the hem. This beautifully ties the whole dress together. The movement this dress has once on is incredible. Excellent condition  with a minor note below.

The dress is lined with the same fabric through the bodice and a black silk chiffon for the skirt. It closes at the back with hidden set zipper and a hook and eye at the top of the neck. There is the tiniest bit if grubbiness near the edge of the arms. Please see the photo after the label shot. Tagged a modern Chanel 40

This dress was the final look on the runway and it is absolutely stunning. The pieces from this collection feel to me like they have an extra bit of sentiment to them. As Vogue noted in their review. "Pre-Fall 2015 was the last collection he (Oscar de la Renta) had a hand in designing. The house's new creative director, Peter Copping, advised the studio a bit on how to finish it after de la Renta's death in October but this wasn't his debut. Copping sat in the front row taking it all in as a bystander." They continue the review saying, "How does one review a collection like this—one that operates not as a swan song, not as an homage, but as a coda to a great career, now definitively over? On its merits, of course. And though these clothes didn't serve to turn the fashion dial in any way, they manifested the soigné de la Renta signature in spades....It spoke loudest in the collection's clutch of cocktail frocks and gowns, particularly the champagne-toned finale gowns with allover gold or silver embellishment." This is one of those dresses and it is very beautiful.

This is truly a beautiful piece and it might even make an amazing wedding dress for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration. The dress is made from a fine ivory net that is covered in beautiful curving appliques that form flowers and pretty patterns. Each applique has a pale muted silver gold lame fabric sewn inside the design. The lame has a tiny bit of a vertical ribbing in it and this adds a beautiful texture. I love how the appliques catch the light in a subtle way from every angle and how the neckline follows the curves of the appliques across the front. It also makes the dress feel more gold in person then how it photographed here. it sits wide across the front, and the straps are sent to the edge of the shoulder. The bodice curves up and over your shoulders and then at the back it falls in a V for a bit of bare skin to show. There is a lining inside the bodice that has a sweetheart neckline and then the netting has a touch of transparency above that. It skims over you from there, past the waist to the seam that sits at the top of the hip. From there the skirt explodes outwards in two tiers. Underneath each tier is a layer of tulle and then another layer of netting under that. This second layer has a stiffened edge to help hold the shape of the skirts. Inside the skirt there is a built in underskirt that has rows of that same stiffened fabric so it holds the volume that you see in the photos. I have added no extra crinolines underneath for this one. All of the volume that you see is all built into the dress. The dress is shorter at the front and then the back is cut long so that it trails out behind you past the floor. The lightness of the tulle and netting allows the dress to billow out around you when you walk. This is dress that feels like a fairy tale come true once it is on the body. It appears to have never been worn or worn very little. Excellent condition.

The skirt is fully lined in layers of tulle and netting as described above. The bodice has an inner layer of silk and netting. The dress closes with a hidden set back zipper. Tagged a modern OLDR US2

This is a stunning dress from the Alexander McQueen label and it is also a very early example of the work that Sarah Burton was doing for the house once she took over the label after Lee's passing. I have a friend who worked for the McQueen bridal division and had her look at it. She also shared it with some other colleagues at McQueen and we all agree that it is from the Spring/Resort 2012 season. If you look at those two collections you can see that this type of gold lace was prevalent in her designs during that time period. That date also fits in what little I know of the dress. It is stunningly beautiful and the photos do not do it full justice. It is beyond gorgeous and would be a stunning choice for a bride.

This is a stunning dress. The impact that the gold lace has is gorgeous and it is like something out of a fairy tale. It has a beautiful and simple design that really allows that gold lace to take central stage. Wide straps sit to the outsides of the top of your shoulders and there is a shallow V at the front. Another V is at the back that sits a little bit deeper then the front one. The straps are wide and I love how the lace has been placed along the edge of the neckline so you get that pretty lace finish against the skin. It skims down over the bust, curves in at the waist and then curves back out to the seam at the top of the hips. At the back it dips down on the slight angle and the dress has a row of buttons and loops over a hidden set zipper. The lace netting is applied over top of the bodice and the lace is laid out to highlight the curves of the dress. The flowers within the design of the lace trail across the pale gold netting behind them for the prettiest effect. From there the skirt falls to the floor and the skirt is stunning. It expands outward from that seam at the top of the hips and it gets very full by the time it reaches the hem. The lace trails down over it and the pattern becomes more dense all around the hem. Built-in underneath the skirt are five layers of tulle, then an inner net layer that has a wire ruffled finish and finally an innermost silk layer under that. I have not added any additional underskirts. All the volume that you see is from the built in underskirts that the gown has. I think that you could even add an additional underskirt if you wanted even more volume. The way this moves around you is magical. The layers are all feather light and it is just stunning to see in person. The back has a sweeping train that extends out past the hem to create a bit of a train and there is extra fullness at the back. It is really a wonderful dress and so romantic feeling. Excellent condition

Fully lined an ivory silk with seaming and soft boning inside the bodice to create shape. It closes with a back zipper and then the exterior layer of lace buttons to close over that. The skirt is lined as described above. I do not see any heavy evidence of alterations but I feel like the zipper may have been replaced at some time so I think there might have been some small alterations done to originally fit the dress. Hand finishes.

This is a phenomenal Hanae Mori coat. An example using a brocade in the same feel is held in the Met Museum's permanent collection and I believe this is from that same collection. Mori was the first woman of Japanese descent to have presented on both the Paris and New York runways and the first Asian woman to be admitted as an official Haute Couture house to La Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne. Her work is exceptional. I have only ever seen a couple of her brocade pieces for sale outside of seeing one in a museum. When I find pieces like this one that is so stunningly beautiful I am very happy.

The fabric on this coat is amazing. A gold thread woven through an ivory and black black background creates that stunning design that you see. The pattern on the coat is divided into hexagon medallions that are done with either the ivory or black backing. Then each design within that is a striking flower or cluster of flowers. The flowers are done in pale pinks, white, turquoise and a bright coral red. The final effect of all that colour with the gold thread mixed in is absolutely beautiful to see. The cut is classic and the fabric has a bit of weight to it. It is not so heavy that it is unwieldy but it has enough of a weight that once on the body the shape that you see is held perfectly. Each sleeve is cut to just below the elbow and they are cut straight and wide. You can flip the end of the sleeves over and when you do that you see that band of black silk satin. We followed it with the sleeves flipped, but you could also wear them straight and then the pattern just continues to the end of the sleeve. I love that.the black band perfectly pick up the black silk satin covered buttons down the front to perfectly tie all the elements together. The collar is simple and frames the neck. The shoulders are soft, and have a slight sloping cut. From there the coat flares out to a slight A-line and we took a photo of it laying flat so you can see the shape. It is just spectacular and the simplicity of the cut only further highlights the drama of that rich bold fabric. It is very couture in feel and one of the best vintage coats I have ever seen. Excellent condition

Fully lined in a pale yellow silk and closes at the front with black silk covered buttons. I see some foxing and marks to the inner lining. Tag a vintage Hanae Mori 8. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. The colours and metallic feel of it are even better in person.

Sleeves: approx 17" with the cuffs flipped up and 19 if they are not flipped. 14" around the upper arm.
Shoulders: no true defined seam
Bust: to 21" flat across from side seam to side seam

This suit is from the debut collection of Bill Gibb for the Fall 1972. In the book, Bill Gibb: Fashion and Fantasy, they note that the theme of the collection was the natural world and you can see that in this suit. As the book describes what was presented in the runway, they specifically mentioned that "there were also a lizard trim cream wool suit" which is of course this set. The book quotes fashion journalist, Suzy Menkes saying that "this is Bill Gibbs great day... for the first time showing a collection all his own. It marks the beginning of his career as a designer of the jet set." Twiggy said to Gibbs backstage "they were incredible, I loved every one, I want them all... is it possible to have one to wear tonight?". At this moment in Bill Gibbs history he was the star of fashion set. The suit is spectacular and I love that a version in black is held in the permanent collection of the Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museum. The twin of this suit was also photoed for British Vogue that season and this gives you a chance to see how fantastic it is once on. This is an incredibly important suit in terms of British Fashion history.

The suit is fantastic. The jacket has an incredible cut to it. It is cropped to the top of the hip and this adds a pretty shape. The collar is rounded and wide. Onto the collar Gibb added an amazing hand cut lizard detailing on either side which perfectly fits into his nature theme of the show. He also added snakeskin strips over the seams and this detailing of the seams like this went on to become a signature for him. It is also a clever way to highlight the cut of the jacket. I love the way the front of the jacket curves down at the front. Snakeskin straps buckles across the front and then the back has another set of buckles. We also see that same detailing over the seams there as well. The sleeves are phenomenal. They begin just above the waist and at the shoulder they are gathered in and capped. This gathering lets them sit up and off of the shoulder. They are extremely wide through the upper arm and then they narrow down to those fantastic cuffs. The cuffs have that same beautiful rounding curve to them and they are split up the middle to meet two metal buttons at the top of the snakeskin detailing. The skirt is equally as fabulous. It has a small band around the waist and then skims over the hips to flare out to be quite full by the time it reaches the hem. This skirt is made by eight panels that have been sewn together. Each panel is rounded at the bottoms and this creates that beautiful scalloped effect that you see. We took one photo with the skirt laid out flat so you could see the remarkable shape that it has. The skirt is also detailed with snakeskin that runs over the top portion of each seam where the panels are joined. A third hand cut out lizard sits across the front of the skirt to tie it all together. Hand work throughout and it is just a phenomenal piece of fashion history. It also fits in perfectly with the couture cowboy core movement we are seeing. I love that you can wear the pieces together or mix and match with things you already have. Excellent condition with a tiny note below.

Both pieces are fully lined in a white silky rayon. The jacket buckles to close at the front and the skirt zips to close under a hook and eye on the waistband. Hand finishing throughout. I see two tiny pin sized marks on one shoulder and some of the snake skin shows very minor peeling here and there that is natural to aging.

Vogue said of this collection that "On the evidence of this showing, she (Phoebe Philo) remains committed to building an iconic wardrobe, and there's little doubt that in the short time she's been at the French luxury goods house, she's designed some iconic pieces." This entire collection was hailed by the press and the twin of this suit was shown for a Look 23. It was a standout piece of the colletion. Pheobe herself chose to to wear a black version of it to the 2011 CFDA Fashion Awards. I love it

On the runway this suit was shown belted. Once it hit the shops the belts were sold separately but you can easily add any belt of your choice to get that same look. Phoebe is known for her attention to detail and this suit is the perfect showcase for that. It is made from a crisp white fabric that is light in weight and it was backed so that it is not fully transparent. The jacket is gorgeous. Sleeves are cut long and simple and the shoulders are soft with the smallest amount of padding inside to hold the shape. The front lapel is done in a muted ivory silk satin. It comes down the front in a tuxedo reminiscent shape. I love that the outer edge of the pants also pick up on that tux feel with a line of the same silk satin running down their length. The jacket has an easy and open shape that expands out a touch as it nears the hem. There are no closures and the front is cut so that it overlaps one side over the other. There are small open slits on the side seams of the jacket and this is where you can slip a belt through to add some shape at the front if you wanted or belt it all the way around yourself for even more shape. Four slit pockets are edged in the same silk satin as the collar to continue that nod to a tux. The pants also play on a classic men's tuxedo. They have a flat front with a banded waist that is done in that same satin finish as the label. They are cut to sit slightly low on the hip. There is a sharp fold running down the front and back of the pants. The pants narrow down as they reach the hem and they will sit slightly cropped depending on your height. I love that you can wear these together or break the set up and mix and match with pieces in your existing wardrobe. The jacket has a slightly oversized fit and I love that contrast to the peg leg pants. Original tags attached still in the pants. Excellent condition.

The jacket is lined in a white silk and the pants are unlined. The jacket has no closures but do have slits on the side seam to add a belt. The pants zip to close and then have a hidden button and hook and eye at the band of the waist. You can see a bit of the inner structure where it shows through on the front of the jacket, the inner seams throughout and around the pockets on both pieces. This is intentional but I am pointing it out for your reference. I see the faintest of a mark on the back of one shoulder. Please see the photo after the label shot. Tagged a Celine 38. It has its original tag still attached inside the pants and a packet with an extra button.

This is such an interesting dress because it is a re-issue of the original and iconic 1965 dress that is so well documented and associated with the Valentino label. The original debuted in the Spring 1965 Haute Couture collection and it is remarkable how forward feeling that design was for its time. It has grazed the cover of the Valentino book, was worn by Linda Evangelista in an editorial that looked back at the label in 1992. It was originally seen on the likes of Verushka and Virna Lisi. Recently Gwyneth Paltrow wore the again and it is a beloved museum piece. On the Spring 2000 Haute Couture catwalk it was shown in a pink on Esther Canadas and then Elizabeth Hurley wore one to the American Fashion Awards. This dress is a re-issue of the original that released to shops that year under the main label. From what I understand they were done in limited quantities and only available at select locations. It is an incredible piece that is instantly recognizable and very special.

This is fashion history. The dress is beautiful. It is strapless with built in moulded and padded cups at the front that top an interior boned corseted panel. The fabric is draped over that inner construction and the cups curve up and over each breast.I love how each side sits up and there is eternal wiring and boning to keep the shape. They are slit down the front in the middle for a little slice of skin to show and then a panel loops over between the cups and falls down the front all the way to the hem. There is a tiny burst of flat peaks plats under one cup, and then that panel wraps underneath the other panel. It skins over the waist and hips falling to the floor in a beautiful column of the red silk crepe. A high open slit is hidden under the overlapping of the skirt where it sweeps up under that front panel and when you walk or sit you get a fantastic length of bare leg. You can see this in the video that we've included here. This is fantastic dress and a very special piece. Excellent condition

The bust has built in moulded, padded cups and then there is a boned half corset under that inside. The inner corset zips with its own zipper and then the dress zippers to close over that with a hidden set zipper. The skirt is unlined. I see a touch stress to the fabric on the inner part of the hem. This does not show when on but mentioned for accuracy.

Bust: 14-16" flat across from side seam to side seam with a A-B cup
Seam under the bust: 12-13.5" flat across from side seam to side seam
Inner waist: 12" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: open
Bodice: 5.5" from top of bodice to seam under the bust at the middle
Total length: 49" from top of bodice to front hem, 51" to the back hem

The book Givenchy Catwalk says of this collection that "Hubert de Givenchy presented a collection made up of soft lines with dresses that suddenly highlighted the shape of the body before the pleated skirts flared out towards the bottom." It is interesting to note that some of the looser more flowing designs from this collection were a part of the November 28 1973 presentation at the Royal Opera at the Palace of Versailles as part of the fashion show that later became to know become known as the "Battle of Versailles". The book notes that "Givenchy took part in the evening event to raise money for the château restoration, presenting his dresses alongside designers by four other Persian Couture houses competing against five American design designers". I have found nothing that suggests that this dress was a part of that show but it definitely has the feel of what went. This dress was shot that year both for Vogue Paris and British Vogue and I love having those reference shots for you to see just how amazing this dress is on the body.

This is an amazing true Haute Couture Givenchy dress that is a very rare and special find. It is entirely cut on the bias and then the silk has been pleated into perfectly matched knife pleats. The cut is tremendously flattering to the body and it feels a little bit sexy with the way the top sits on the bodice. The fabric is a beautiful and very light red crepe silk chiffon that moves and drapes fantastically. The bodice is done with its own panel that wraps around to the back. It is set wide and open at the front and then the pleats wrap on a slight curve to follow the shape of the halter to the back where it is set with a wedge of open space between the two sides. Silk straps come out from the peak of the front and then curve over your shoulders to connect to the back. The skirt flares out from there and it has a ton of movement when you move. It is spectacular. The silk is very fine and light and it is cut on the bias and then pleated in long vertical lines. There are yards of it in the skirt and that and the lightness of the skirt picks up the air when you move so that it moves fantastically around you as you walk. This is a very beautiful example of Givenchy from this time period. It is easy to see why his work is the subject of so many books and retrospective shows at museums worldwide. It also comes with a matching curved shawl in the same fabric. Excellent overall condition with notes below.

The dress is fully lined in a matching hand set red silk. It zips to close at the back and then an inner wider waist stay hooks to close at the inner waist. Light. boning through the inner built-in corset. Hand finished throughout to couture standards. I see some wear and patching on the straps. A small repair at the top of one peak and and some repairs/ small shattering to the inner lining near the arms. A small thinned spot near the zipper and a mark here and there and also near the hem.  Presents wonderfully but these are mentioned for accuracy. Proper couture tag and numbered tape present.

Bust: 15.5-18" flat across from side seam to side seam
Seam under the bust: 14-15.5" flat across from side seam to side seam
Inner waist: 13" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: 19.5" flat across from side seam to side seam

This dress is an incredible piece of Halston history. Its twin walked the runway for the Resort 1979 show and the original sketch appears in one of the Halston books and it has the added provenance of the dress that was lent to and worn by Emmanuelle Chriqui in 2002. This is classic Halston from his main label couture line. It is incredibly chic and sexy and one of two important Halston pieces I have for you today. This is an incredible example of his work from this time period. 

This is an amazing couture Halston dress that is a very rare and special find. It is entirely cut on the bias and utilizes his signature minimal seaming. Halston defined how woman dressed in the 1970s and these jersey dresses that he did were tremendously flattering to the body. It is also insanely sexy with the cut out at the front that leaves your stomach bare. The fabric is a beautiful and very light black silk jersey that moves and drapes fantastically. The neckline is scooped with a piped edge that extends up and behind the neck where it hooks into place. On either side of the scoop at the front the fabric extends into panels that create a halter shape. The panels curve down on an angle and secure into the sides of the waist. This leaves the middle part of the stomach bare and open. The panels are then gathered into the piping at the top and wrap around the back in a low curve. The entire back is completely bare and exposed and it is so sexy. The skirt flares out from there and it has a ton of movement when you move. It is spectacular. The jersey is very fine and light and it is cut on the bias and there are yards of it in the skirt. I love that he cut the sides of the skirt slightly longer then the front so you get a bit of a sweeping feel around you. This also helps the skirt to pick up the air when you move so that it billows around you as you walk. Inside the skirt there is an inner layer of silk chiffon and that helps to soften out any bumps underneath the top layer and helps to make it very flattering to wear. This is a very rare example of Halston at the top of his game. It is easy to see why his work is the subject of so many books and retrospective shows at museums worldwide. Excellent condition with a tiny note below.

The bodice is made from two layers of the silk jersey and the skirt has an inner silk chiffon lining. The dress hooks to close with two set so of hooks and then it snaps and hooks below the back of the waist. Hand finished. I see some tiny, snags and pin holes along the hem here and there. The fabric has some stretch but the waist has no give.

Bust: The front halter should accommodate a variety of cup sizes. It is approximately 14 to 17" flat across the front
Waist: 12"
Hips: open
Bodice: approx 15" from neck to waist
Total length: approx 50" from shoulder to longest points of the hem

Halston defined how woman dressed in the 1970s and these jersey dresses that he did were tremendously flattering to the body. It is also insanely sexy with the side cut outs that wrap all the way around the back leaving your back completely bare except for that one strap that goes across and hooks to close. It also eaves almost your entire stomach and your sides completely bare. The fabric is a beautiful black silk jersey that is heavy enough to be opaque and the dress is backed in a second attached layer of the same silk jersey. The use of this fabric allows the dress to move and drape fantastically. The neckline is high and scooped around the neck and it hooks to close at the back. Then this extends down into the front panel that has straps that come out from the sides to hook at the back. From there it creates a upward curve that meets the downward curve of the top of the skirt in the middle centre of your front bodice. I love the way that the panels curve and create these cut outs on either side of your middle. At the back the top of the skirt curves down and it can sit quite low depending on the shape of your body. It also leaves the top of your hip exposed at the sides and it is so sexy. The skirt flares out to the floor from there in a sleek column of silk jersey that flares outward as it nears the hem. It is spectacular. The jersey is cut on the bias and there are yards of it in the skirt. The second layer of silk jersey is attached all the way around the hem and having the second layer helps to soften out any bumps underneath the top layer and helps to make it very flattering to wear. This is a very rare example of Halston at the top of his game. It really showcases how he use the absolute minimal amount of seaming to create these absolutely stunning pieces. It is easy to see why his work is the subject of so many books and retrospective shows at museums worldwide. Excellent condition with a tiny note below.

The entire dress is made from two layers of the silk jersey. The dress hooks to close behind the neck and then again at the strap that wraps around the back. Hand finished. At some point the ham appears to have been let down but it's well finished along the edge so I've left it as isThere is darkening along the original edge and I see a small area on the front that looks a tiny bit darker than the rest of the dress, but it wouldn't photo well and I'm being pretty picky. If you find that the neck seems to sit high you could add a little extension to the back where it hooks to close if you needed a little more length and have it sit a little lower.

Neck:  14-15" around from hook to hook
Bust: The front halter should accommodate a variety of cup sizes. From end to end of where it hooks to close around the back it is 32 to 36 inches total in length
Opening of the skirt: 13-18" flat across from side seam to side seam
Total length: approx 67" from neck to hem

This is a phenomenal dress from the resort 1982 Halston collection. This is from his main line and is done to Couture level. All of those fringes have been individually placed by hand and the movement that they create is spectacular. We found a photos of the dress on the runway for you to view she can see how it looks like on the body. And I also wanted to share some photos of two similar pieces from that same collection… A cardigan that was worn for the runway presentation and a custom piece that was done for Marisa Berenson that she wore to the Met Gala in 1981. The twin of the dress is also a part of the permanent collection of the met museum

I also included a video of the dress on the dress that is moving so you can see how fantastic the movement is on this dress. It has weight to it as all of those fringes are glass! Its amazing. I don't think any of the fringes are missing and it appears that the dress was worn very little, if at all. Excellent condition.

Unlined and closes with a back set zipper. All of the bead work is done by hand, and the dress appears to have been worn very little if at all. Tagged a vintage Halston 10

This fantastic cape is from the Fall 1976 collection and it is the second one from this collection I have had in the shop this week. Several versions of it were produced that season including this and the longer and slightly more elaborate deep purple one I listed earlier this week. We have included photos from the runway pieces here and we also found an ad campaign shot with its twin and have included that for you to see. I personally have several versions of his capes myself and have worn them countless times. It is literally the perfect thing to pop over a dress at night time. It is a very versatile and so easy to wear piece.

The cape is in a very beautiful pale taupe combined with a black flat braided edging. The fabric is a high end wool that has a little bit of weight just due to the sheer amount of it in the cape but is still comfortable and easy-to-wear. This is one of those effortless pieces that is easy to make a part of your wardrobe. You just slip it over your shoulders and it drapes in place. A slightly oversized hood extends out from the neck and this added addition of the hood adds the perfect amount of detail and drama. A flat blue braided rope finished all the edges and I love the elaborate braided knots that closes it in place at the neck. A long fringed tassel sits on either side of that closure for added drama. I love the bit of movement these create when you move. There is a ton of fabric in the body of the cape so that when you move you get wonderful movement as it floats and billows around you. The cut is impeccable and it is a great piece of YSL's fashion history. Excellent condition

Unlined and drapes over the shoulder to wear with a knot closure at the neck as seen. The occasional graze to the surface. The easy open cut should allow fit just about any size

A version of this 1973 coat in a different pattern is featured in one of the Biba books and you can see the same shape through the shoulder and sleeve. I have had this for many years now and it is a very hard piece to let go of. It really showcases her love for all things Art Deco and the cut of this coat is phenomenal. 1973 marked the year that the Big Biba store opened in a seven-story building on Kensington High Street. Every floor had its own theme with floors and millions of people visited.

This coat is absolutely wonderful. It has those fabulous Art Deco lines that Barbara Hulanicki excelled at and that so many of the best of her pieces reference. It is made out of a woven wool that creates a giant houndstooth pattern. The neutral colour combination of the taupe and black is so easy to mix and match with everything. The coat has some weight to it but feels balanced once on the body. I love that you can see the actual weave of the wool. This adds extra texture and dimension to the pattern. The coat falls beautifully once on. It has a single large flat metal hook at the front and then swings open under that. There is no collar, and it simply falls into a V to that hook and then carries on to the hem. It is more fitted through the shoulders and then falls outwards with all of the volume created by the way the fabric has been cut and pieced together. The shoulders and sleeves are spectacular. Each shoulder is set with a high capped and rounded cut. This was something that Hulanicki became known for and pieces with this cut are among the most coveted. The sleeves are equally as fabulous. They are cut wide and full and then the ends flip over to create that huge 7" cuff. Hidden set pockets along one of the more inner vertical seams is the perfect finish. It is just exceptional and I think it is one of the best Biba coats I've ever personally seen. Excellent condition 

Fully lined in black silk. It has one hook to close at the front. Light padding in each shoulder. Pockets on each hip. I see some light water marks / marks over the inner lining. The open should fit a variety of sizes as long as the upper shoulders fit.

Sleeves: 21" and 14" around the upper arm
Shoulder: 17.5" flat across the exterior of the entire upper shoulder
Bust: to 18" flat across from side seam to side seam

This beautiful cape is from the Fall 1988 collection and several versions of it were shown on the runway that season. It was an integral piece to the direction of the show and we have included several photos from the runway. I personally have several versions of his capes myself and have worn them countless times. It is literally the perfect thing to pop over a dress at night time. It is a very versatile and easy-to-wear piece that is the perfect neutral that will work with everything.

The cape is in a very beautiful soft taupe and it is made from a high end wool that has a little bit of weight just due to the sheer amount of it in the cape but is still still comfortable and easy side to wear. The cape itself is effortless to make a part of your wardrobe. You just slip it over your shoulders and it drapes in place. The long and simple lines of it are perfect for a very minimalist feel while the sheer length and amount of fabric in it add all the drama of a cape. A stitched border highlights, the lines and seams of the coat and I love that the stitches are the perfect match to the colour so it really keeps within that minimalist feel. It has no collar and closes with one perfect colour matched button at the nape of the neck. There is a ton of fabric in the body of the cape so that when you move you get wonderful movement as it floats and billows around you. The cut is impeccable and it is a great piece of YSL's fashion history. Excellent condition

Unlined and has a button at the neck with no other closures. Tagged a 38 but there are no true defined shoulder seams and that combined with the open fit endure that will fit pretty much anyone. It even has an extra button sewn into the inner hem

This is the actual dress that is in the book on Thea Porter's work and appears on page 111. The book notes that this dress has "Two prints based on Persian paintings, designed by Sheila Hudson, combined on the dress. One on the bodice with polo players, while on the sleeves and skirt is a single horseman with Persian style calligraphy at the hem of the skirt." We've also included photos of a jumpsuit with the same print that appeared at the July 1971 press view and several other versions of the dress from editorials from that time period. A Version of the dress was also part of the Thea Porter exhibit. This print was very well documented and Thea made a small series of pieces from this fabric. Each piece was made specifically so that it was cut to follow the print perfectly. This is the only one I've ever seen made in this length and in this style. Given her extremely limited run on certain pieces, it may in fact be the only one that exists. It is truly a very special piece.

The cut of this dress is exceptional. It has a small neat collar and the collar hooks at the front. It is then slit to the waist with one single hook just under the halfway point to hold it in place. This leaves a large slice of skin showing when it is on the body. The bodice is unlined and has a single layer of the printed silk cotton gauze which gives it a touch of transparency. Horsemen romp over the bodice with dogs following in pursuit through flowers and trees. The sleeves are phenomenal. Each is gathered into the top of the shoulder and then are a huge balloon sleeves under that. More horseman sit at the top of each sleeve and then you have the calligraphy mentioned above wrapping around the gathered cuffs. The waist is elastic and this make the dress extremely easy-to-wear and comfortable on the body. Under that, the skirt has an incredible amount of fabric and here again we see horsemen wrapping all the way around the dress and then the bottom displays more calligraphy, flowers all in those beautiful colours of blue. There is an incredible amount of fabric in the skirt so it moves beautifully once on the body. This is an exceptional and extremely rare example of her work. Excellent condition with a small note below

Unlined and slips onto wear. There are hook and eye at the top of the neck and then another just under the halfway point of the slit down the front. The waist is elastic. I see some darkening to the inside of the collar and slight darkening on the exterior collar near where it hooks to close at the neck. Please see the photo after the label shot.

This pretty Chanel dress is very well documented. Not only was it's twin presented on the Spring 2011 Chanel runway for Look 48 that season, but it was featured in the ad campaign that year and Anna Wintour has worn hers several times. Lydia Hearst wore a shortened version of it and Sarah Chapman wore one. In Vogue's review of the show, Tim Blanks said in part; "Karl Lagerfeld gets a lot of his inspiration from dreams, but he didn't need any  help from them today, because he already had Last Year at Marienbad, that hallucinatory slice of avant-garde celluloid from the early sixties, on his mind. Some would say that, despite its storied reputation, it's the most boring movie ever made, but for Lagerfeld—and Chanel—it inspired a breathtakingly surreal setting: a monochrome ornamental garden, complete with fountains, which mirrored one of the film's most famous scenes."  It is so pretty and a very easy-to-wear dress

This dress is one of the prettiest I have seen from Chanel. The quality of the silk can only be appreciated when you have it in hand. The top is sleeveless and this makes it easy to wear on its own or under a  jacket or sweater. It is cut to skim over the body and has a beautiful romantic and feminine feel. The bodice is vertically pleated in these perfect little pleats that have top stitching which is a subtle extra little detail . I also love how the pleating makes the floral print feel more interesting to see. The waist is defined with band of matching silk but its cut is a touch more on the generous side. This gives it that easy feel to it that many Chanel pieces have. Pleats circle around the hips and then they open up from there so that when you move the skirt moves and floats around you. Last, but certainly not least, is the fact that the famous double C logo is worked all through the print of the dress making it impossible to not know that you are wearing Chanel. It has never been worn and still has its original tag and Chanel packet. Excellent condition

The dress is lined through the bodice in a black silk chiffon and the skirt is unlined. It closes with a hidden set back zipper and a Chanel logo button at the back of the neck. It is tagged a Chanel 38 and has its original tag and Chanel packet. Current Chanel day dresses start at $5500 and range up to $8500USD + for similar pieces.

Jean Paul Gaultier's illustrious career spans decades. His first show was in 1976 and his avant garde designs quickly gained him the reputation of being fashion's 'l'enfant terrible'. His designs mixed cultures with abandon, gender norms were blurred through his pieces and the body was presented encased in ways unimaginable prior to his brilliant vision. In 1997 he entered the sanctified world of Haute Couture and for just over two decades produced stunning work cumulating with his final show for Spring 2020. His pieces of couture rarely come to market and I am very pleased to have this unbelievably beautiful ensemble. This was look 33 for the Fall 2001 Haute Couture presentation entitled 'China and Spain'. For this season Gaultier combined elements from those two countries in a beautiful homage. Pieces from this collection were featured in the The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk exhibit of 2013 and to have a piece available for purchase is almost as rare as being able to have bought it as a couture client in the first place. After the show Gaultier said of this collection “I wanted to do something more sensual than sexy. The idea was to bring together everything that you imagine when you think of China and Spain—theater, movement, color, history and richness.” The twin of this look was worn by Alec Wek on the runway with a huge red bib neckpiece over the top. We believe that this may have been the only piece ever produced beyond the runway set. 

It is extraordinary to think that Jean Paul Gaultier has only produced a Haute Couture line for two short decades given his long career. Like most Haute Couture, this is a set that only truly comes to life when it is on an actual body and the reference photos and video show you just how amazing it is on. The pants are a work of art. They are heavy and densely beaded with glass tube beads in tightly spaced rows to cover every inch of the pants. Worked in and among the sequins are brilliantly coloured hand embroidered flowers. These trail over the pants and wrap around the legs. The work to place each of these beads individually and do the embroidery would have taken hundreds of hours to complete. They are cut with a flat front and straight leg that gets a touch wider by the hem. When you the light catches the beads and the colours of the embroidered flowers is fantastic. The top is made out of a fine black silk jersey. It closes with a complex mix of a hidden zipper front and two separate areas of silk covered snaps and hooks. It wraps around the body and drapes down one side. The collar is high and you can see the nod to China within its shape. Each sleeve is incredibly long and they are meant to be pushed up to create a row of rounded gathers forming around the entire lower part of the arm. I love the long trailing panel of the silk jersey set on one hip. It falls over that pant on that side to the floor. It is meant to have a nod to the trade de luces cape, which is part of the traditional clothing that Spanish bullfighters wear. It is a brilliant piece of Haute Couture and is everything you want to see in a Haute Couture piece. It appears to have never been worn or worn very little. Excellent condition. 

The upper portion of the top is lined in silk and it zips to close at the inside front. A jersey panel wraps over this and closes with a series of silk covered snaps and hook & eye along the side near the neck. More hook & eye sits along the waist and hip area on that same side. The pants are fully lined in a silk and close with a hand set zipper. Made by hand to Haute Couture standards. Proper Couture tags on both pieces.

I have two of these in the shop today and this one is the smaller one that is a FR38/US6 in size. The twin of this dress in a different colour walked the runway as Look 47 for the 2018 resort season. The show was held in the remote Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve in Calabasas, California and Rihanna, Charlize Theron and Solange Knowles were there alongside the fashion pack. The inspiration for the show came from the archives and Chiuri said 'she went to the archives, where she came across the house founder’s Lascaux collection of 1951, inspired by the ancient cave paintings discovered in southwestern France a decade earlier.' The twin of it with the front tacked closed a bit was also worn by Kate Mara in 2017 which shows you how it looks when you do close the plunge a bit. It is also interesting because a very similar dress was shown for the Resort 2008 collection and you can see that progression from the Dior archives to this piece. 

This is a dress that is insanely sexy and bare feeling. I love its bright joyful yellow colour and minimal lines. The dress is a made out of a feather light silk chiffon that tops inner layers of silk tulle and silk. This fabric combination makes it very light and easy to wear and it feels like a dream once on the body. The lightness of it lets it move and float around you beautifully as you walk and move. The front plunges low to the seam at the slightly empire set to the waist. It crosses over itself a touch at the front and the seam under the bust is detailed with a tiny little ruffle in the same silk. The shoulders twist as they curve over your shoulders and then it falls into another deep V at the back. The panels there sit a wider apart where it meets the waist so you get a more open back feel. The sides are equally as dramatic as the plunge in long Vs to the waist. Under that the skirt flows to the floor and widens out as it nears the hem. There is a tremendous amount of fabric in the skirt and this lets the skirt billow out around you as you move. The top layer of the skirt is a silk chiffon that has a touch of texture to it. There are two layers of silk tulle under that and a final inner layer of silk that acts as the lining. The effect all of these layers have once it is on and moving around you is fantastic. It is fabulous on the body. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. Excellent condition

The Spring 2005 Prada show is one of the label's most iconic and recognizable of the Prada collections. I have had a one shoulder dress in the same fabric with the same beading from the show in the past and I was excited to have this jacket come in. The twin of the.jacket was shown in blue for the runway presentation and a longer, more coat feeling version in this same colour was also presented. The blue version was featured in the ad campaign that year. I love that you can see how versatile this jacket is and how you can change the look of it by belting it.

These embellished pieces were some of my personal favourites presented that season. The.colour of this jacket is amazing and when Vogue reviewed the show, they referred to it as being 'a brown-ochre-rust colour' and that perfectly describes it. The silk shantung that it is made out of has a slight metallic finish that adds a very subtle touch of glamour to the jacket. The cut of the jacket is simple. It has no collar and opens down the front with hidden hook and eye if you wish to close it. The shoulders are soft and slightly slope down which gives it an easy feel. The sleeves are long and the cut through the body is meant to just skim over you and it has a slight box shape. Starting around the collar and going down the front and curving around partway to the back is a band of heavily embellishments that mix large paillettes, large beads and colourful crystals. These are all set on a lighter coloured silk ribbon with a black silk netting behind the various clusters. Bands of that same elaborate detailing run around each cuff. We took lots of close-ups so you can see just how beautiful the work is . It is very well made and this is classically beautiful Prada. Excellent condition

This jacket is extremely well documented. Its twin walked the Spring 2011 Chanel runway for Look 48. It was featured in the ad campaign that year and Anna Wintour owns one. In Vogue's review of the show, Tim Blanks said in part; "Karl Lagerfeld gets a lot of his inspiration from dreams, but he didn't need any  help from them today, because he already had Last Year at Marienbad, that hallucinatory slice of avant-garde celluloid from the early sixties, on his mind. Some would say that, despite its storied reputation, it's the most boring movie ever made, but for Lagerfeld—and Chanel—it inspired a breathtakingly surreal setting: a monochrome ornamental garden, complete with fountains, which mirrored one of the film's most famous scenes." Karl himself said that new fabrics were one of his touchstones for the collection, but "he distressed them with selvedge, ragged edges, and a lattice of perforations. That chaotic quality persisted in dégradé chiffon florals or a monochrome tweed patchwork.... It loaned an enthralling urgency, and the fierce young spirit in the collection could be read as a swingeing riposte to the cutesiness that sometimes overtakes Chanel's ready-to-wear." The jacket is fantastic.

This amazing little jacket is made from a butter soft black leather. I love how Karl used  that floral printed silk to weave through the open perforated cut outs on the leather. This creates a gorgeous lattice effect that adds a wonderful and unusual detail to the jacket. The collar is done with the same technique and then he ran it down the front of the jacket in a wide panel. The most dramatic usage of it is how he has replaced the entire lower parts of the sleeves with this silk and leather detailing. This lets you see glimpses of your bare arms through the cut outs or see what you choose to wear underneath the jacket. More of that silk is wrapped all the way around the hem as well. The impact of the pink and ivory silk against the black is so pretty and softens the jacket for a bit of a romantic and whimsical feel. The jacket is beautifully cut with a notched collar and long straight sleeves. It skims over the body with the waist brought in just a touch for shape. It is beautifully tailored and finished. It closes at the front with a series of large flat metal hook & eye. A simple zipped pockets sits on each hip and each one has a perfect little double Cs on the zipper pull. Excellent condition

This fantastic little jumpsuit is from the 2021 Fendi holiday special capsule collection. This was the second collection released by Kim Jones for Fendi and it built on what we saw for his debut couture collection for Fall 2021. The twin of the jumpsuit was used for the advertising campaign where it was featured prominently and I love that this gives you the chance to see it on the body. It is fantastic and an amazing piece of the brand recent history.

The jumpsuit has never been worn and it comes with its original tags. It is made from a stunning gold metallic lurex that catches the light from every angle. It is the perfect piece to just slip on and go. The bodice is scooped at the neck and the neckline is detailed with a thick twisted piping in the same fabric. This scoops up and around the sides of the neck and down the back. The fabric is gathered into that piping on both the front and back and this creates little gathers that skim over to the waist. Between the back of the neck and the waist it is an open slit so you get a tiny flash of skin. The waist is seamed and detailed with a black piping. It is cut more on the loose and easy side though so feels great on the body. From there the jumpsuit skims over the hips and then the legs are cut a touch fuller so that they blouse out a bit over the elastic cuff that sits at the end of each leg. They have more volume at the top of the leg and then they narrow down just slightly as they reach the cuffs. Black piping runs down the outside of each leg for a nod to a tuxedo pant. I love that there are pockets on each hip. The fabric is a bright gold that catches the light from every angle. It is a piece that is incredibly easy to wear. It can go from entertaining at home with flats to full on evening glamour. Adding layers under or over it can change up its look completely. It is just amazing. Excellent condition
