Antique 1890's Victorian French Couture Floral Embroidered Yellow Satin Gown
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
Undiminished by time, this Mme Arnaud on 16 Rue Bassano Paris couture ensemble from the Victorian era still casts its seductive spell. An exceptional evening ensemble fashioned from vibrant sunshine yellow silk-satin. The gorgeous three-dimensional purple iris floral embroidery really sets this formal gown apart from others of it's time. I love the ruched fully-corset bodice which are so modern and chic. Making a bold and dramatic fashion statement, this must have been worn to an extremely regal event in. Totally looks like the type of garment that inspired John Galliano when he was head designer at Christian Dior. This is truly a rare and exceptional quality made piece of wearable art.

Jean Paul Gaultier Cyberbaba Cyberdot Optical Illusion 1995 Coat Jacket Dress
Located in PARIS, FR
Iconic Cyberbaba dress by Jean Paul Gaultier!
From the Autumn/Winter 1995 Collection!
For sale is an iconic and rare Jean Paul Gaultier Cyberdot Quilted Dress from his Autumn-Winter 1995 collection that has been inspired by the 1979 film 'Mad Max' and Victor Vasarely. Made of quilted wool/nylon fabric, the computer-generated spot pattern reflect the contours of the female body, with spot-print allover.
It can be worn as a dress or a coat/sweater.
Museum piece! The same dress is displayed in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. You can find it in its online collection.
Description from the MET`s archivum:
Jean Paul Gaultier's collection "Femmes Amazone" was accessorized, according to Women's Wear Daily, with "whips and sundry other Mad Max accessories." His inspiration, ostensibly, was the mythic Amazon and the contemporary equestrian. This dress is a version of the body-conscious sheathes he showed in the runway presentation under sweeping coats. With an ombréed and graduated dot pattern, Gaultier creates the illusion of a shadowed trompe l'oeil body wearing a bikini. The essential modesty of the padded and quilted sweater dress is subverted by this overprinted body, which emerges like an X ray, and by Gaultier's exploitation of the stretch of the synthetic knit to fit the dress like a second skin. Gaultier makes one of his whimsical references to the pop culture of his childhood in rendering the "itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini" of Brian Hyland's 1960 hit single.
The pattern are worn by a lot of celebrites, such as Kim Kardashian, Iggy Azalea, Cardi B...

Extract from the catalog of the exhibition "Falbalas, Portraits et Mode au Féminin 1850- 1930" - Museum of Art of the City of Toulon - 2017: The wedding dresses were often colored in France in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. In Provence in particular, the tones chosen in the popular classes are dark: generally dark green or green-yellow. The bride uses a Sunday dress with a beautiful scarf, headdress, apron, and family jewelry necessarily out of the ordinary. The materials used are taffeta and silk, or woolen or Siamese, false silk, poppy or poplin including Arles. Provencal wedding dresses can be puce color, yucky color, dark brown, plum, garnet-colored or green Empire. The light, white or cream wedding dresses...
