1987 Alaia Runway Documented Pewter Swimsuit
By Azzedine Alaïa
Located in London, GB
This important spring / summer 1987 runway documented Alaïa swimsuit is tailored from a stretch-cloth with a satin-like sheen. The green-gold pewter shade became a signature of the house. It is cut to a bra-like shape at the front and is underwired. There are wide, supportive straps. The back is lower, cut with curved seams to pull in the waist. This is where Alaïa’s talents lay; cutting to flatter the female form. The stitching is tonal and the swimsuit is unlined, except at the gusset which we have replaced so it is brand new cotton.
This one-piece is in excellent vintage condition with no flaws and looks barely worn. The fabric is 70% Polyamide; 30% Elastane. There is no size label so please check our measurements below - the cloth has plenty of stretch so please allow some degree of flexibility.
We have featured an editorial shot from Vogue 1987 with model Rachel Williams...

2014 Christian Dior Runway Haute Couture Navy High-Low Dress
By Christian Dior
Located in London, GB
This archival haute couture runway documented dress was designed by Raf Simons for Christian Dior Spring 2014 Couture (look 21/35). The collection was the result of Raf pondering what Christian Dior himself would have designed had he been at the helm of his business in the 1960s, whilst also bringing Raf’s modernist aesthetic to the fashion house. The reoccurring details across the collection were the cut-outs and slashes in the clothes, described by Vogue as “quite sexual, as concealment infused with the peekaboo promise of revelation often is”. This high-low dress...
