Vintage 1960s Burke Amey Couture Black Wool Green Silk Appliqué 3-Piece Mod Suit

About the Item

Ultra chic and super sophisticated Burke-Amey graphic appliqué 3-piece ensemble dating back to their 1968-69 fall/winter collection. Burke-Amey was started in 1959 by designer Ronald Amey, and his business partner, Joseph Burke. Amey was known for his use of interesting materials and big, bold prints. This gorgeous black wool and emerald green silk showstopper is a perfect display of their genuine. The fabrics alone are a masterpiece; rich fully-lined woven wool with dynamic large-scale graphic emerald silk. I love the unique detailing of this set with its complex lines and modernist approach. The blouse, with built-in bodysuit, has a bold nehru collar and wide cuff billow-sleeves. The suit jacket has a flattering built-in waist belt and deco diamond appliques. Just look at those beautiful gold buttons. The matching skirt is a nipped waist tailored pencil that is cut to skim over your curves. It is refined, graceful and has workmanship of the highest quality. A truly beautiful three-piece designer ensemble and a beautiful example of the forward thinking from this swinging mod era. Measurements Jacket Bust: 36-38 inches Sleeve Length: 23 inches Total Length: 22 inches Blouse Bust: 36-38 inches Sleeve Length: 23 inches Skirt Waist: 28 inches Hips: 40 inches Total Length: 26 inches This vintage Burke-Amey designer ensemble is in excellent condition with no rips, stains or holes. Perfectly working metal skirt-zipper and original covered buttons. Highly wearable and an investment piece that will continue to increase in value.

  • Vintage 1970s Sant' Angelo Burgundy Draped Chiffon Bodysuit & Fringed Maxi Skirt
    By Giorgio di Sant' Angelo
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    Incredibly stunning and highly desirable Giorgio Sant' Angelo designer bodysuit ensemble dating back to the late 1970's. He first hit the fashion scene when Diana Vreeland asked him to design clothing for a desert location shoot that starred Verushka in 1968. This shoot is legendary and his clothing was instantly sought out by all the most fashionable women on the planet. Sant' Angelo was the winner of two Coty Awards and two Council of Fashion Designers of America honors. He has had an entire museum exhibit dedicated to his work and will go down in history as one of the great American designers. This seductive two-piece set is a perfect example of his genius. I love the low-cut plunging draped bodysuit as a wardrobe staple. Would also look fantastic with trousers or jeans! The interior is a stretch jersey in a matching burgundy hue so when you put it on, the bodysuit molds to your bod in the most comfortable way. The sleeves are cut long and the draped backless bodice flows into the sash which wraps around the waist. Such a smart design! The matching high-waist embroidered fringe maxi skirt finishes the look off effortlessly. Sant' Angelo once said, "I am not a fashion designer but an artist who works in fashion engineer of form." We added many pictures so you can appreciate this masterful achievement. Measurements Bodysuit (varies due to stretch) Bust: 34-38 inches Waist: 26-30 inches Sleeve Length: 24 inches Skirt Waist: 28 inches Hips: up to 42 inches Total Length: 44 inches This vintage Giorgio di Sant...

    By Givenchy
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    Givenchy, the name itself evokes glamour, refined elegance, simplicity and style. Givenchy's trademark of sculpted lines and luxurious fabrics make his work easily recognizable. This bold jumpsuit ensemble, dating back to their 1991 haute couture collection, is a beautiful example of his brilliance. The fabric itself is a masterpiece; luxurious emerald-green and magenta-pink lined silk satin. I adore the boned strapless bodice with over-sized cummerbund belt. The flattering nipped waist met by straight-legged trouser pants create the perfect amount of drama to this timeless piece. The matching hourglass peplum jacket complete with wide lapel-collar and over-sized pockets finish this garment off with a perfect femme fatale vibe. With this ensemble, you have one complete outfit or amazing separates!
