A truly iconic and well-documented Betsey Johnson for Paraphernalia black and ivory sequin stripe mini mod dress dating back to her first 1966 collection with the boutique. Almost immediately after graduating from college, Betsey Johnson made her first splash in the New York fashion industry by winning Mademoiselle magazine's Guest Editor Contest. Only one year later, Johnson landed a job as a designer at Paraphernalia, an offbeat New York clothing boutique. Taking her cues from the more avant-garde London fashion scene, Johnson—along with designer Mary Quant and artist Andy Warhol—helped pioneer what became known as the Youthquake movement in fashion, art and culture. We were thrilled to find a picture of this dress at the opening night of her runway collection where a young Andy Warhol can...

An incredibly chic and highly coveted Alexander McQueen for Givenchy black cutwork leather jacket dating back to his well documented fall/winter 1997 runway collection. Shown in Paris, this gorgeous jacket was paired with a sheer lace blouse and purple mini skirt. This highly stylized yet timeless jacket is a perfect example of why the magic of Alexander McQueen is so missed. Fashioned from fully-lined butter soft black leather, the piece molds effortlessly to the body. As pictured, there is gorgeous cutwork throughout the whole blazer and the end result is quite impressive. An amazing scalloped design trims the collar, wrists and throughout the entire hemline. I especially adore the strong bold shoulders mixed with lean, long sleeves. A classic Alexander McQueen detail...

Own an iconic, well documented piece of fashion and celebrity history. This important, Jean Paul Gaultier black silk-velvet corset cage jacket, from his highly acclaimed 1990 fall-winter runway collection, was personally owned by his good friend Cher. This epic piece was worn by this iconic superstar to the 1991 Billboard Music Awards as she presented an award to fellow diva, Mariah Carey. Not only is the gorgeous jacket a masterpiece in design but it was created by one of the biggest names in fashion. Jean Paul Gaultier is described as an "enfant terrible" of the industry, known for his unconventional designs with motifs including corsets, marinières, and tin cans. Gaultier redefined the corset as a symbol of female liberation and empowerment. The fabric used for this jacket is sensational; the highest quality fully-lined ultra soft silk velvet. The front is designed to simulate a laced-up corset and is accented with black corded toggle style loops. The bare cut-out construction is so provocative and eye-catching. The waist has a center back belt for more of a nipped fit if desired. The lean, long sleeves mixed with the nehru collar also gives the jacket an elevated military vibe which I love. With Cher worn...

An incredibly chic and well-documented John Galliano turquoise lycra and black fleece military inspired cropped vest from his beloved 1991 spring/summer 'Honcho Woman' collection. These early runway examples of his work are extremely collectable and are becoming so hard to find. Pieces like this are also a very important chapter in his design journey because it pre-dates his years at Christian Dior and Givenchy. John Galliano is widely considered one of the most innovative and influential fashion designers of the early twenty-first century. He mingled his references in often surprising juxtapositions to create extravagant yet intricately engineered and meticulously tailored clothes. This whimsical vest is everything you look for in early Galliano fashion. The neck is cut high like a military jacket and the over-sized lapels are decorated with golden cords. All this detail is carefully sewn on by hand. The bold turquoise and black block coloring mixed with draped lapels updates the uniform look in a clever modernized way.

An important, well-documented and highly coveted Vivienne Westwood black pinstripe light weight wool two-piece ensemble dating back to her iconic 1994 'Café Society' spring-summer collection. As shown Susie Cave walked the runway in this sensational skirt! Vivienne Westwood is one of the most influential and recognizable British designers of the past 40 years. She began designing clothes in 1971 with the opening of her first shop, Let It Rock, at 430 King's Road. In 1976, her then lover and business partner, Malcolm McLaren, guaranteed her status among the stars when he dressed the Sex Pistols, the British band he managed, in clothes from the boutique. She was named British Designer of the Year, both in 1990 and 1991. The following December, she was awarded an OBE in recognition of her services to British fashion and in 1998 she won the Queen's Export Award. This ultra chic ensemble from Vivienne Westwood’s sensational 1994 Café Society spring-summer collection is a clever play on traditional male suiting and a perfect example of her genius. Café Society is a retelling of how European history has shaped women's fashion. The central question of this show asked what does a woman free from restriction look like? Although this show is filled with historical fashion references, Westwood subverts them by placing it on a new canvas, a liberated woman. Made from a luxurious light-weight wool, the pinstripe reads masculine yet the cut has an ultra feminine allure. The blazer features a flattering curved petal cut waist and lean, long sleeves. The gold buttons are etched with the iconic Vivienne Westwood logo orb. The matching high-low trained skirt is a statement piece in it's own right. It could be styled with many other pieces like a corset or crop top for a totally different vibe. It is constructed to nip at the waist and cascade down in an incredible high-low waterfall trained hemline. I love how it almost resembles a deflated Victorian bustle...

An incredibly chic and well-documented Christian Dior black beaded calla lilies one-shoulder silk bias cut gown. This highly coveted Christian Dior treasure from John Galliano's 2008 spring-summer collection is a perfect example of his genius. Vogue stated about the collection, "Under the guise of twenties-through-forties styling, he laid on a rendering of his signature bias cutting in jazz-age chiffon and thirties charmeuse" and our dress definitely embodies that vibe. John Galliano is widely considered one of the most innovative and influential fashion designers of the early twenty-first century. He mingled his references in often surprising juxtapositions to create extravagant yet intricately engineered and meticulously tailored clothes. This gown is everything you look for in Galliano era Dior. The alluring asymmetric one-shoulder bodice has the most beautiful calla lilies floral applique design. The intricate beadwork and sequins give the dress a perfect amount of sparkle. I especially love the side covered buttons. Such a nod to 1930's fashion! The slightly trained bias-cut high slit construction emphasizes a woman's seductive shape without adding any bulk or volume to the actual hips. You will reach for this Dior masterpiece anytime you want to feel sensational. Would make a stunning holiday event or wedding guest look! A rare wearable piece of John Galliano fashion history.

An incredibly chic and hard-to-find Geoffrey Beene cherry print silk crepe jumpsuit dating back to the early 1990's. Geoffrey Beene's body-contoured designs were marvels of cut and proportion. There is an exhibition of his work currently running this year at the Phoenix Art Museum titled "MOVE: The Modern Cut of Geoffrey Beene". Through the exhibition it is explained, "Beene was a fashion rebel who ignored trends, instead preferring to design garments that began as geometric shapes and evolved into silhouettes that moved naturally with the human form." With this jumpsuit, Geoffrey Beene explores strategies of suggestion and concealing the body through the use of pattern placement. He chooses an absolutely gorgeous large scale cherry print mixed with ivory in the same silk crepe fabric. By manipulating color. he created what looks to be a strapless bikini...

Own a major slice of celebrity and film history. Madonna wore this extraordinary ivory beaded couture gown for her portrayal of Eva Perón in the unforgettable 1996 film "Evita". Madonna campaigned to play the role of Evita and used her popstar status to acquire it. Many other actresses were considered to play the role such as Elaine Paige, Liza Minnelli, Cher and Meryl Streep. The film was a huge success for Madonna, who up until this time had not fared well in her acting exploits. Madonna even won a Best Actress Golden Globe Award for her performance as the First Lady of Argentina. Madonna wears this gorgeous gown in the scenes at the Inaugural Ball as she dances and movingly sings the song, "High Flying, Adored." The fabric itself is a masterpiece; high quality silk satin that has been heavily adorned with hand set red jewels, pearls, rhinestones and glass beads. I love the chic cut-out neckline which rests on the collarbone and scoops low in the back. The gown flows into an hourglass nipped waist where it breaks into a unique zig-zag design. The piece work to create the skirting in particular is extraordinary. The yard and yards of luxurious silk satin personify the feminine ideal in clothing. We photographed the garment with and without a petticoat so you can see the true fullness. Not only was this gown an iconic look for the character but Madonna was also featured in the October 1996 issue of Vogue magazine wearing this gown. The gown was originally made for the actress Carol Lawrence and then worn by actress Daryl Hannah while accompanying John F. Kennedy, Jr. to meet the Queen of England. We were thrilled to find a picture of this meeting as well. With Madonna worn garments fetching extremely high prices at auction (her 'Desperately Seeking Susan...
