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 1989 Yves Saint Laurent Leopard Print Cotton Twill Trench Jacket w/TagsBy Yves Saint LaurentLocated in Beverly Hills, CAChic Yves Saint Laurent leopard print cotton-twill trench jacket from the infamous Rive Gauche collection during spring-summer of 1989. Pieces from this collection are very rare and are true examples of fashion history. I adore the cuffed-sleeves and front duel pockets. The jacket features hidden buttons and a sexy back-slit. It is wearable and comfortable, yet has its own iconic elements. The best part of all is, the trench is in mint never worn condition! "In the mid-1970s the relevance of haute couture was seriously debated. The political and social upheaval of the 1960s, the emergence of a plethora of creative ready-to-wear designers, and the increasing preference for a sportswear approach to dressing as represented by American fashion were among the shifts in lifestyles and taste that appeared to sound the death knell of the calcified and elitist world of the maisons de couture. It was at this time that Yves Saint Laurent, haute couture’s preeminent practitioner, threw caution to the prevailing winds with a collection of unrivaled fantasy and luxury."

- Vintage 1969 Thea Porter Couture Rare 'Samawa' Embroidered Wool Documented CoatBy Thea Porter Couture, Thea PorterLocated in Beverly Hills, CAAn 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...Category
