1949 Traina-Norell Couture Vogue Documented Metallic Gold Silk & Mink Swing Coat
About the Item
A well-documented and totally timeless Traina-Norell for I.Magnin metallic gold silk and mink fur voluminous swing coat dating back to their 1949 fall/winter couture collection. Fashioned in shimmering metallic gold print lamé silk brocade and luxurious mid-weight silk velvet, this rare garment exemplifies their signature blend of high-level quality with quintessential American style; elegant in its simplicity. As shown, this iconic garment was featured in an issue of Vogue magazine from the same year. The voluminous swing silhouette is so well executed and really highlights that sparkling metallic gold fabric. There is an optional front neck hook-closure which I personally love closed. Fully lined in sensational chocolate brown silk-velvet which matches the mink fur wonderfully. I adore the cropped sleeve length and effortlessness of this couture masterpiece. For those not familiar with these mid-century American designers, you may be surprised to learn of their enduring influence on, and remarkable contributions to American fashion and glamour. Norman Norell especially, in his extensive and versatile body of work, employed the finest couture techniques, making his clothes still the envy of modern designers. A museum worthy piece of wearable art.

Vintage 1969 Thea Porter Couture Rare 'Samawa' Embroidered Wool Documented Coat
By Thea Porter Couture, Thea Porter
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
An ultra rare and highly coveted Thea Porter Couture ‘Samawa’ colorful woven wool coat dating back to her fall-winter 1969 collection. An example of this gorgeous garment can be found in the book 'Thea Porter: Bohemian Chic' by Laura McLaws Helms and Venetia Porter on page 60. This is a such a unique and truly iconic piece within her body of work. I adore the vibrant abstract natural yarn pattern work, which was inspired by Iraqi 'Samawa' carpets, as well as the side hemline slits that reveal a luxurious black satin lining. The rabbit fur trim is so incredibly soft and the zip-up front closure makes this piece so wearable. An almost identical coat was even featured in British Vogue's Fall 1970 issue, shot by the famous Barry Lategan. During this period, Thea Porter's clothing attracted many celebrity customers who enjoyed wearing her erotic creations whose secret was to conceal rather than reveal. Her clients, some of whom also became her friends, included Lauren Bacall, Bianca Jagger, Mick Jagger, Sharon Tate, Elizabeth Taylor, and Pete Townshend. This magical garment originally sold at Giorgio’s of Beverly Hills which is less than a mile away from our boutique! A truly important museum worthy coat by the queen of the bohemian fashion...

Vintage 1915 Liberty Paris Couture Lilac Wool & Colorful Lace Art-Nouveau Cape
By Liberty & Co.
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
Breathtaking Liberty Paris Couture wool cape dating back to the mid 1910's. Liberty was one of the first designers to embrace the Art-Nouveau movement. The fashion house saw the need to make fashions that were more stylish, but at the same time keep classic aesthetics. The detailed construction and meticulous attention to detail in this garment are comparable to what you will find in modern haute-couture. Our extravagant cape retains a regal, unstructured comfort. The beautiful lilac-purple color can definitely works for all seasons. I adorable the gorgeous multi-colored print lace trim and dramatic backside tassel. The low to high waterfall full-length reads so incredibly modern, it's almost hard to believe this show-stopper is 100 years old. The same cape, in a different color, is also housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. This magnificent antique garment...
