• This is a rare and early example of Galliano's work from the Fall 1999 collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of John Galliano.
• We have included several runway shots that we found that show the same fabric as it was seen on the runway.
• The dress is ultra soft to touch. It is made from a deep creamy ivory and then onto that are tiny little black bows made out of yarn. They form a grid in their centres as they weave through the underlying ivory and then the ends are allowed to extend out on both side sides. This is what forms the bow and also gives it the 3D feel as each end sits up and off of the fabric.
• The dress is done in a simple shift feel with no sleeves and an easy to wear cut. Long vertical seams curve over you to add shape. The bust is simple and set to curve over you. The waist is shaped to come in slightly. From there it curves back out over the hips. 
• The skirt is a simple slim pencil shape that comes in very slightly at the hem. At the back, extra fabric is hidden inside of an inverted vent. The fabric is pleated on both sides, inside the vent, and this allows you to move and walk in the dress. It also gives you a little unexpected flare at the bottom of the back skirt while you are moving.
• It is the perfect minimalist 1990s piece with a Galliano twist.
• The dress is lined in an ivory silk with hand finishes around the neck and arms. It closes with a hidden set side zipper. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.

• This is a rare two piece jacket and skirt set from the Fall 1999 collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of John Galliano.
• We have included several runway shots that we found that show various pieces made of the same fabrication and with similar silhouettes.
• Both pieces are ultra soft to touch. The angora/mohair and wool mix that both pieces are made of would have been specially created for the collection in order to get the pattern to lay so precisely. The fabric would have had to have been pre-planned out prior to making the final design.
• The jacket is phenomenal. It has soft shoulders and is meant to feel at touch more oversized through the upper bodice. The waist is cinched in with a single oversized hand carved button that sits at the front. From there  then it curves over the hips under that. This cut is what gives you that fantastic exaggerated hourglass feel that the suit has.
• The shawl collar is very wide and covers almost the upper bodice. It is finished with a bolder print and feels like a statement piece in itself. The body of the jacket has an angled black-and-white chevron print and I love how he has placed this to emphasize the shape even more.
• The sleeves are extra long and they are meant to bunch up slightly on the arm. They are finished with a wide band of the same design that details the collar.
• The skirt has a simple black piping at the waist and then it is cut in a long slim pencil shape. The upper portion of the skirt is done in that chevron pattern and then the lower part of the skirt picks up that amazing design that was used on the collar and ends of each sleeve.
• The jacket is lined in a black silk and buttons at the front to close as described above. The skirt is unlined and closes at the back with a zipper and hooks at the waist.
  
• Both pieces are tagged an early Galliano large.
• It appears to have never been worn.
• Excellent condition and so so very rare.

• This is an amazing example of his work from Fall 2006 and it is gorgeous. It is very similar to a dress that I had in the ship recently but this one is more elaborate and much longer.
• The dress was made under the creative direction of John Galliano.
• This version was made for the shops and like all of the more elaborate bead work pieces he did would have only been released in limited quantities.
• This is a really striking dress that is also very easy to wear because of its simple and bias cut. 
• The dress is made from three layers that are attached at the top of the shoulder and then float over each other from there. The inside layer is a black silk chiffon and then there is a layer of black silk chiffon that has a texture to it over that. The very top layer is that same textured silk chiffon.
• The dress has a very loose and easy cut through the body.
• The bodice has a beautiful draping neckline at the front and it does the same at the back. One shoulder is wider and a panel draped down from it to form the neck line. The other shoulder is a combination of silk chiffon with a raw lace edging. On that side, there is a tide bow at the top of the shoulder.
• The bodice on the side with the wider strap has pinned detailing that runs vertically down the dress, and the side with the more narrow strap is swept up to one side where there's a large flat bow and a bit of a ruffle created. That ruffle continues all the way to the ham so it appears that the dress has been wrapped around you and the bow is holding it all in place.
• Scattered vertically over the dress are a beautiful design that combines tiny seed beads and silver sequins topped by a tiny bead. These are all set by hand and you can see that on the back. They detail the neckline and then run in little cluster set vertically down the length of the dress.
• Many of the edges have a raw finish, which adds a delicate added texture to the dress that is very pretty.
• This side that has the ruffle feel going all the way to the ham has a split on all three layers so you get a flash of skin and it adds to the beautiful movement. The dress has. The back skirting is cut longer than the front so you get this fantastic sweeping field behind you as well. 
  
• Because this dress is all cut on the bias and is so long and easy through the body it really needs a body inside of it to bring it to life. As good as it looks in the photos here it is phenomenal in person and on the body.
• The inner silk chiffon and middle tulle layer act as the lining underneath the top layer. The innermost layer has no closures. The middle layer closes with its own hidden set zipper, and the very top layer closes with one of his signature tightly spaced rows of silk covered buttons.
• The bias cut allows for some range and movement, so I put the comfortable range in lane flat below

• Fall 2007 dress by John Galliano
• Made of a combination of an ivory silk chiffon that is covered in an ivory net lace
• The dress has a strong nod to the 1920s. It is generously cut through the waist and has a scooped neckline.
• Silk chiffon has been formed into little rosettes on either side of the buttons that run down the side of the dress. Panels of chiffon wrap around the waist from the flowers to add a bit of detail and shape.
• There is a long panel of silk that hangs from one of the rosettes at the front. You can allow it to just trail down the front or hook it over one of the rosettes at the back to create a pretty draping down the full side of the skirt.
• The dress is very light in weight. The silk chiffon underlay acts as the lining.
• It closes with the series of silk covered buttons down the side

• This is a signature bias cut dress from the Spring 2002 collection by John Galliano
• Made under the creative direction of John Galliano
• There are no closures on the dress. It is completely cut bias and you just slip it over the head to wear and it just falls into place skimming over the body from head to toe.
• The cut of the dress has a strong nod to Couture pieces of the 1930s and 1940s decades that he continuously referenced in his collections.
• The fabric has a silk like finish and is a deep black. Various Galliano logos have been woven directly into the fabric in a different finish thread so as you move these catch the light. The effect is fantastic once it is on the body.
• The fabric obviously would have been custom designed by Galliano and made specifically for this dress
• It scoops down into a V at the front and the back with a band highlighting the entire neckline. It skims over the waist and hips from there and flares out at the lower hem. 
  
• The back is cut longer than the front so you get this fantastic sweeping feel behind you. It is in its original uncut length.
• A high slit runs up one side for a flash of leg when you walk.
• Unlined and slips on to wear with no closures.
  
• The measurements have a lot of range because of the bias cut and no closure so I have given the comfortable range for all below when laying out flat. There is probably a little extra room beyond my measurements, but I do not like to over pull when measuring.
• Tagged a FR42, GB14, US8
• Excellent condition and it appears to have been worn very little if at all.

• This is an absolutely fantastic and very rare piece whose twin walked the Spring 1993 Versace runway.
• It was made under the creative direction of Gianni Versace
• Besides being prominently featured on the runway, it was featured in editorials for the Versace lookbook.
• This collection was an homage to South Beach, a place that Gianni absolutely loved. In 1991 he bought Casa Casuarina, a mansion on Ocean Drive. Two years and $30 million later it was a lavish palazzo, but before that was completed, he created this Spring 1993 show as a love letter to South Beach. Little Havana was referenced in the amazing floral printed silks that we see on this piece.
• On the runway, this was worn over a printed bell bottom pant in a contrasting floral print. In real life, you could certainly re-create that look or pair it with something simpler to let the vest shine on its own. It would look equally as good topping any length skirt, a pant, and you could even go very daring and wear something far more bare underneath.
• The vest is made out of a printed silk that mixes a solid black for the collar and lining. Black silk is also used for the properly finished button holes and the silk covered buttons at the front. It has a slightly softened feel to it that gives it a bit of a washed cast. This is intentional and carries through the entire piece where the black silk has been used.
• The rest of the vest has a brilliant oversized floral print running over it that is spectacular. It mixes all the primary colours and covers the entire piece. I love how the back panel of the vest is a different floral panel pattern for contrast.
• The shawl collar curves down low to the waist and then the vest closes with a double set of silk covered buttons across the front. Long floral covered tails fall around the side of the hip and down the front. These will end around or past the knee depending on your height.
• At the back, seams curve inwards to add shape through the waist and there is a fabric half belt that you use to cinch in and add more shape. The belt buckle and added embellishment on the belt are amazing. They are made out of a gold toned metal with the tops of each piece finished in a red, hand poured enamel. There are two curving pieces, one that secures the belt once buckled and the other to finish the end of the belt strap. Three more straight pieces sit on either side of that for added decoration. It is a very decadent and beautiful extra touch of detail.
• This is an iconic and highly collectible piece of Versace history. That is an easy piece to incorporate some vintage into your existing wardrobe.
• The vest is fully lined in a black silk and closes with the two front buttons that have properly finished button holes. As noted above, the black silk portion of the vest has a slight washed feel to its finish that appears intentional. It does have a fabric and size tag, but it is faded and you can no longer read what size it is.
• The size tag has faded so please go buy the measurements listed below
• Excellent condition

Bust: 16-18" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist: 14.5" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: approx 19" flat across from side seam to side seam but because the tails open at the front, there is some wiggle room and it should fit a little larger. The tails would just be spread open more at the front.
Total length: 44" from neck to longest point of the front hem, 20" from neck to the back hem

• This is the actual dress that walked the runway for Look 31 for the Fall 1992 collection as noted in its hand written tag.
• It was made under the creative direction of Paco Rabanne
• I love that we have runway video of this one so you can see how fantastically that it moves once it is on the body and you are moving.
• The piece would have been made entirely by hand in the Paris Atelier.
• There is an inner built in black silk sheath dress that skims over the body from the shoulder to the hem and then you have the multiple added layers of the black silk and silk chiffon placed over that by hand.
• The fabrics used are incredible. Both the silk and silk chiffon have had a metallic gold eyelash weave in a flat velvet applied that gives the dress an incredible bit of a metallic glint from every angle.
• The very top part of the dress that runs across the shoulders is made from a black silk and then the rest of the top layer of the dress is made out of a black silk chiffon. Both fabrics have the gold overlay done over their surfaces. 
• It has very full sleeves that have no lining so that you have a touch of transparency. They are set to poof out above a wide cuff at the wrist. Each cuff is made out of black silk and zips to close with a handset black zipper.
• The panels that cover the dress are extreme and extravagant. These are what give the piece the movement and volume that a caftan would have except it is all done in the most extravagant of ways. Long panels are split length ways and upwards to various degrees and this is what allows the silk to move with the slightest bit of air around you. This simple and ingenious extra detail with these vertical splits are really what add movement. It also breaks the pattern as you move, and then when you stand still the pattern, all settles back into place. It is quite genius. It also what gives the hem its pointed detailing.
• The neck is cut wide across the shoulders and then the entire top layer of the dress floats down and around you from there.
• The metallic gold pattern that covers the entire dress is perfectly mirrored from one side to the other. Each piece of fabric would have had to have been pre-planned and deliberately made to specifically piece together to achieve the final look of the dress.
• It closes with a hidden set back zipper. The upper portion of the bodice is not lined and the backing has an almost canvas feel to it. The inner sheath part of the dress is lined in a black silk. All of the work is done by hand to Couture standards.
• There is no size tag present so please go by the listed measurements below. Note that it looks like the hem of the inner dress was taken up at some point so I have included how much has been turned under in the measurements below. I see some light marks on the inner dress that do not show but mention for accuracy.
• Excellent condition

Sleeves: 30" and are 17" around the upper arm
Shoulders: 15"
Inner bust: 17-18.5" flat across from side seam to side seam
Inner waist: to 13 " flat across from side seam to side seam
Inner hips: 18-19" flat across from side seam to side seam
Total length: 58" from top of shoulder to inner hem with 2.25" turned under. The outer dress extends another 10" past that.

• This is the actual piece that walked the runway for Look 51 for the Fall 1993 collection as noted on its hand written tag. It may be the only one that exists. 
  
• It was made under the creative direction of Paco Rabanne
• The piece would have been made entirely by hand in the Paris Atelier.
• It is such an incredible statement piece and it is very light in weight which makes it so easy to wear.
• The fabric is gorgeous. The base black silk netting has been hand painted with a deep rich gold and then heavier coatings of the same gold creates patterns within the design. The outlines of each of the designs that cover the entire coat are highlighted with a hand applied gold cording. This combination is what makes that spectacular pattern that covers over the entire piece. Once you start looking closely, you see that he has used three different types of netting to achieve the final effect. The use of all that gold gives the coat an incredible glint from every angle.
• A single hook sits at the neck and the shoulders are soft and slightly gathered across their tops.
• It has very full sleeves and like the rest of the coat they have no lining so that you see a bit of skin underneath the netting. The sleeves widen out as they near their ends to be a full 38" around. This gives them incredible movement and it is just striking to have those beautiful wide sleeves.
• The rest of the coat is equally as extreme and extravagant. It falls outward as it drapes over you  to the floor and it is extremely wide and extremely full by the hem. You can see how beautifully this allows the pattern to fall in soft folds. It is also extremely long so that it trails and billows around you as you move. 
• The pattern that you see on the netting is perfectly mirrored from one side to the other. Everything would have had to have been pre-planned and deliberately made to specifically piece this together to achieve the final look of the piece.
• This is an incredible piece of true Haute Couture and is the perfect thing to add over any piece to add instant high drama and glamour.
• It has a single hook at the top of the neck. It would be very easy to add hidden set snaps or hooks down the front if you wanted to wear it fully closed and more as a caftan. It is unlined so has a touch of transparency. All of the work is done by hand to Haute Couture standards.
• There is no size tag present being Couture so please go by the listed measurements below. Its easy cut should it allow it to fit a full range of sizes.
• Excellent condition

Sleeves: approx 27" and are 17" around the upper arm
Slightly dropped shoulders: 17"
Bust-hips: open
Total length: 63" from neck to hem. The back hem extends another 3" past that.

• This is original Haute Couture piece dating to the late 1980s, early 1990s.
• The set was made under the creative direction of Emanuel Ungaro.
• This would have been completely made by hand in the Paris atelier.
  
• This is a stunning two piece set done in a pale pink silk that has a hint of a lavender undertone. The silk is very high-end quality.
• The top is a classic and easy tank cut. Wider set straps curve over the shoulder and the front is scooped. It has a full and generous cut through the body and flares out slightly at the hem. This is a piece you just slip on and it is very easy to wear. 
  
• Inside there are little handmade straps across the top of the shoulder that snap into placed to hold your undergarment perfectly. Every stitch is done by hand. Little hidden set hand covered silk snaps close the top up one side.
• The skirt has an inner band at the waist and it wraps over itself at the front. It closes with hand covered silk snaps and then has hook and eye at the side of the waist. It is gathered into soft pleats along the front and then is opened down its length where it wraps over itself at the front. When you sit or walk a certain way you get a bit of flash of bare leg. It is cut generously over the hips and then narrows down to the hem. The back is cut slightly longer than the front for a pretty line.
• The top is unlined and the skirt has a nude silk chiffon inner handset lining to just past the hips. The top has snaps up one side as described above and the skirt closes along the waist as described above. A teeny tiny bit of pulling here and there on the back of the skirt. All of the hand work is to Haute Couture standards throughout.
• There is no size tag present because it is couture so please go by the measurements listed below.
