Vintage 1910's Henriette Favre Paris Couture Embroidered Net-Lace Fringed Jacket
About the Item
A magnificent and ultra rare Henriette Favre haute couture embroidered black net-lace jacket dating back to the mid 1910's. Only a handful of her garments seem to exist; a few gorgeous gowns located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s costume collection and a beautiful evening coat at the Fashion Archives Museum in Pennsylvania. Henriette Favre had a storefront at 5 Rue de la Paix, Paris and also imported to the United States through Wanamaker’s, a famous high-end department store at the time. Henriette Favre was included amongst such fashion designers as the House of Worth, Paquin, Doucet and Drecoll from Vienna. Favre had established herself as a premiere designer by 1900. She dressed Alexandra of Denmark, Queen of the United Kingdom from 1901 to 1910.
This jacket is an extraordinary wearable example of Edwardian beauty and a special find for the serious collector. We added many pictures so you can appreciate the months of couture skill that went into this piece. The unique unstructured style is strikingly modern yet the abundance of handmade embroidered roses and soutache workmanship on the sheer net is a treasure trove of antique needle art. Just look at the breathtaking winged angel sleeves with bold tassel detail! The elegant silk fringed hemline channels the art nouveau sentiment so celebrated during this era. Though this garment would have been meant as an over dress-jacket, it can easily be styled with a bodysuit or pants quite flawlessly. An exceptional piece of wearable art!

- Vintage 1915 Liberty Paris Couture Lilac Wool & Colorful Lace Art-Nouveau CapeBy Liberty & Co.Located in Beverly Hills, CABreathtaking Liberty Paris Couture wool cape dating back to the mid 1910's. Liberty was one of the first designers to embrace the Art-Nouveau movement. The fashion house saw the need to make fashions that were more stylish, but at the same time keep classic aesthetics. The detailed construction and meticulous attention to detail in this garment are comparable to what you will find in modern haute-couture. Our extravagant cape retains a regal, unstructured comfort.

- Vintage 1989 Yves Saint Laurent Leopard Print Cotton Twill Trench Jacket w/TagsBy Yves Saint LaurentLocated in Beverly Hills, CAChic Yves Saint Laurent leopard print cotton-twill trench jacket from the infamous Rive Gauche collection during spring-summer of 1989. Pieces from this collection are very rare and are true examples of fashion history. I adore the cuffed-sleeves and front duel pockets. The jacket features hidden buttons and a sexy back-slit. It is wearable and comfortable, yet has its own iconic elements. The best part of all is, the trench is in mint never worn condition! "In the mid-1970s the relevance of haute couture was seriously debated. The political and social upheaval of the 1960s, the emergence of a plethora of creative ready-to-wear designers, and the increasing preference for a sportswear approach to dressing as represented by American fashion were among the shifts in lifestyles and taste that appeared to sound the death knell of the calcified and elitist world of the maisons de couture. It was at this time that Yves Saint Laurent, haute couture’s preeminent practitioner, threw caution to the prevailing winds with a collection of unrivaled fantasy and luxury."
