Balenciaga Ghesquière Pre-Fall 2007 Silk Maxi Dress
By Balenciaga, Nicolas Ghesquière
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Credited with revitalizing Balenciaga during his 15-year tenure as creative director, designer Nicolas Ghesquière introduced modern, minimalist designs to a house famous for its sculptural silhouettes. The new Balenciaga look delivered by Ghesquière, as described in a 2007 article for the New York Times was “... lean, seemingly energized with French street cool, relentlessly sharp in its concept.”
From his 2007 Pre-Fall Collection, this dress is a special, hard-to-come-by collector’s piece. Resort and Pre-Fall pieces are always produced in smaller quantities, so this dress is a rare find to begin with. Done entirely in silk, this exquisite gown exudes a minimalist ’90s aesthetic that is luxurious and street chic at once. The black silk is interspersed throughout with sections of colorful silk featuring an abstract floral print in shades of blue, green, red, persimmon, yellow, and brown, which brings a vibrant allure to this masterfully constructed garment.
Size: Small
The sleeveless design begins with two gold-beaded spaghetti straps at each shoulder and a plunging V neckline, evoking the elegance of a Grecian gown. The central panel of the dress is gathered and draped to perfection, while layered flounces of alternating black and colorful silk towards the bottom of the skirt add extra volume and femininity. The skirt falls from a U shape beneath the bust to a maxi length at the ankles and is made from lots of fabric that moves beautifully with the wearer.
The back of the dress is its own risque affair, with a revealing gathered central panel at the back of the bodice that flows seamlessly into the skirt, which accentuates the natural lines of the body. A sensual addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, this beautiful Balenciaga gown is the perfect choice for a summer wedding or special occasion, and can easily be styled with strappy heels and statement accessories.

By Issey Miyake

Futuristic designer Issey Miyake has mastered the technique of creating sculptural works of art in cloth. His innovative pattern cutting and signature use of micro pleating give his garments a unique form.

The bright colors have a prismatic quality that makes the dress pop visually, giving the eye something new to appreciate from each angle while elevating this garment to a work of art.
The dress begins with a high straight neckline and long sleeves that reach the wrists. The front of the dress is fitted throughout, creating an elegant sheath that falls to a maxi length several inches above the ankles. The body of the dress is done in midnight blue pleats with a section of purple at the bust and a section of neon green near the hem that draws the eye. Thigh-high slits at each side of the dress allow for greater ease of movement while introducing a welcome risqué element that helps balance the volume of material on display.

The top of the panel can be folded over the front of the shoulders to create a curving, cocoon-like shawl, or folded together at the back like wings at rest.
The panel spans the entire length of the dress and is slightly higher at the neck, adding volume and a delightful sculptural element to the otherwise columnar silhouette of the dress. An unforgettable addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, this rare Issey Miyake Pleats Please dress is the perfect choice for a wedding, gala, or special occasion, and is sure to turn heads for many years to come.

Issey Miyake Fête Silver Grey Pleats Midi Dress, Spring 2008
By Issey Miyake
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Futuristic designer Issey Miyake has mastered the technique of creating sculptural works of art in cloth. His innovative pattern cutting and signature use of micro pleating give his garments a unique form. As one of the earliest designers to take on this style of fashion, Miyake is held in high regard as a pioneer of these creative, out-of-this-world fashions.
From the Issey Miyake Spring 2008 collection, this beautiful Avant Garde dress is done in a silver-grey pleated fabric. The dress presents a playful and sophisticated aesthetic throughout as the fabric is arranged in tiers of vertical fin-like folds that extend from the bust to the asymmetric hem of the skirt, creating sinuous columns that give this dress a unique visual movement of its own. The horizontal seams of the tiers are fitted with elastic throughout, providing extra stretch while highlighting the fascinating sculptural qualities of this dress.
The fitted dress begins with a simple gathered neckline and incredible angular sleeves that fan outward from the shoulders in pleated arcs. The elegant sleeves hug the upper arms like a wrap or a shawl, allowing the horizontal pleats to create an unbroken line from shoulder to shoulder. Small openings beneath each arm allow for greater ease of movement while lending this dress a unique risqué element that is best appreciated when viewed from the side.
Measurements:
Size estimate: XS/SML
Bust: 30 unstretched can stretch up to 36 inches
Waist: 28 -32 inches
Hips: Full
Length: 43 inches
The dress culminates in a magnificent bell-shaped skirt with a curving hem that falls in a spiraling asymmetric flounce below the knee at one side of the dress, adding a satisfying note of drama that balances the theatrical shoulders. A head-turning selection from the Issey Miyake Fête line, this incredible dress is meant for the spotlight and is the perfect choice for a wedding, gala, or special occasion.

French Art Deco Couture Ivory Wool and Silk Floral Flapper Coat, 1920s
Located in Boca Raton, FL
The Roaring Twenties was a period of seismic change in women’s fashion. French designers like Coco Chanel, Jean Patou and Jeanne Lanvin introduced revolutionary silhouettes that broke from the corseted ones of the past. The flapper coat was among these styles, and this one made in France during that time is an exquisite reminder of the beauty that was part of the historical shift. The jacket is tailored from gorgeous ivory wool, with a plain weave that takes on unbelievably rich texture when combined with thin and thick strands—including shiny silk ones that form stripes down its length. Along the cuffs and hem, the weave blooms into stylized Art Deco flowers in lovely shades of red, orange, pink, coral, light blue, green, brown and black. Skipped stitches at their centers make for a finely handcrafted peekaboo detail. Trimmed in faux sheepskin fur, this coat is meant to look cozy, with a wrap front that closes with a button most likely made of Bakelite. Wear it with similar pieces to channel the era or mix and match it with modern ones for a truly one-of-a-kind ensemble.
Size estimate: XS/S
Measurements:
Shoulders: 15.5 inches
Sleeves: 21 inches
Bust: Up to 40 inches
Waist: 28 inches (Please note the button can easily be moved over within up to 8 inches to make the coat larger by the waist and hips.)

Vintage Leonard Paris Printed Silk Mini Dress / Tunic & Pants Set 1970s
By Leonard of Paris
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Synonymous with luxury and innovation, Leonard Paris is collected for its unique prints, like the one found on this dazzling three-piece set from the 1970’s. The kaleidoscopic print has an oriental feel, incorporating flowers such as camellias and chrysanthemums which have traditionally been embroidered on kimonos in Japan. The multiple patterns form a rich canvas for this ensemble, and is a grand example of designer Daniel Tribouillard’s artistry and love of flowers.
Done in a black silk jersey, the tunic begins with a high mandarin collar with cloth button closures, bringing some structure to the otherwise lounge-like feel of this set. Falling several inches above the knee, this tunic can easily be worn as a mini-dress, the beautifully draped kimono sleeves adding a flair of drama while allowing for greater ease of movement. The matching ankle-length pants have black piping down the sides and are tailored to perfection with a straight waistband, pockets, and front pleats, ensuring a slender fit. An accompanying belt of the same fabric may be worn tied at the waist, completing the elegant wrap style silhouette of this ensemble.
The collar is done in print of small jewel-colored flowers and leaves, bordered by stripes of black, light pink, and magenta. This pattern repeats a second time in a concentric circle below the collar, elongating the neck. A pattern of pink whorls and large pink and black chrysanthemums winds its way through the body of the tunic, punctuated by bursts of blooming flowers with turquoise centers and red stamens, surrounded by clusters of magenta leaves.
The kimono style sleeves are done largely in a red honeycomb pattern on a black ground with a small flower set in the center of each hexagon, while a contrasting print of black and pink flowers on a woven ivory ground is set down the side of each sleeve in a narrow band, emphasizing the line from the shoulder. The lower half of the tunic brings balance to the intricate medley of color above the waist, with evenly spaced rows of jewel-colored camellias on a black ground offering a stunning contrast with its use of negative space. A complimentary...

2000s Beaded Prada Bralette with Rhinestone Detail
By Prada
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Delicate and simple detailing elevates many of Prada’s collections. At times questioning the norms or a particular garment style, designer Miuccia Prada has frequently introduces layered ensembles and items reminiscent of lingerie which, according to Vogue, question the notion of seduction. From one of Prada’s mid-2000 collections, this pewter, silk bralette dons a gentle elegance in the detailing and the stitch work. The bra top possesses a generally angular neckline overlapping at the centre front. Across the bust and along the two straps beaded floral motifs with emerald, charcoal, and clear crystal beads that pop against the pewter fabric. At the bust graduated pointed arches are stitched to aestheticize the dart. Just under the bust, a lattice rhinestone and embroidered band sits. The pure emerald stones contrast the grey and clear stones that complement their pewter ground. This top sits high at bust level and can be paired easily with sheer or other layering pieces to construct an understated glam outfit.

By Missoni
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Missoni is defined by its impressionist color stories and signature knit designs. The designs speak to the idea of simplicity with the value always being in the fine details. Done in a silky rayon crochet knit, this 1970s Missoni ensemble is made from gradients of dusty rose, blue-grey, pale yellow, and gold to create an overall warm, beachy feeling dress set. The cardigan drapes from a rounded neckline into elbow length sleeves. The undulating drape compliments the wave-like ribs in the fabric. A rather boxy silhouette, the softness of the drape and the movement of the colors give it a lighter feel. Underneath, the dress showcases a more textured, horizontal knit design that adds dimension and movement to the ensemble. The dress hugs the figure from the torso through the hips and from a dropped waistline falls into a straight maxi skirt.
The fun doesn’t stop there. This ensemble also features a matching beret done in the same wavy knit style as the dress bodice and necklace made from a rope of the fabric threaded through circular carnelian beads. A picturesque sunset wrapped neatly in a matching ensemble...

The 2011 Prada Spring collection, described by the inimitable Miuccia Prada as “minimal baroque” drew on a number of sources of inspiration, including 17th century artwork, flapper dresses, and Jazz age icon and actress Josephine Baker.

Comme des Garcons Short Sleeve Sculpted Pleats Denim Dress
By Comme des Garçons
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Denim is masterfully rethought in this avant-garde Tricot Comme des Garçons day dress . The utilitarian textile in a rich indigo blue is gathered, pleated and ruffled to take on a lightweight appearance in the pretty knee-length silhouette. The bodice alone is genius in its intricacy with its puffed short sleeves trimmed in sweet pleats, its asymmetrical center front finished with a ruffle of raw fringe and its abundance of gathers that meet at the seams to create a traditional fitted-waist silhouette minus any of the normal dress pattern...
