Malcolm Starr Rhinestone Organza Print Dress, 1970s
About the Item
The 1970s embodied an interesting time for fashion. As the world became more connected and various cultural revolutions emerged, fashion became increasingly more playful and acted as an outlet for freedom and expression. Having tremendous traction in the US and East Asia, Malcom Starr’s designs represented these qualities of the time and were well received due to the range of options he offered. Done in an eggshell organza, this dress features a wild motif with abstract botanical forms in tones of yellow-green, marine blue, mango, azure, tangerine, and rose. From a shallow boat neck line, the dress flows into soft bishop sleeves. A semi-fitted bodice transitions into a crisply flounced A-line skirt from an empire waistline that visually elongates the wearer. Throughout, hand sewn gold stitching and prong-set rhinestones add texture and a subtle gleam to the dress. Finished with a striking violet velvet bow belt, this charming, vintage 70s dress is an artistic piece that is a flattering option for intimate gatherings and events alike.

- French Art Deco Couture Ivory Wool and Silk Floral Flapper Coat, 1920sLocated in Boca Raton, FLThe 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.)

- JW Anderson Silk Macrame Wood Beaded Fringe Dress Runway Spring 2019By J W AndersonLocated in Boca Raton, FLBritish designer JW Anderson is a trailblazer in the contemporary fashion market. With a vast array of unique collections and collaborations, Anderson’s aesthetic offers a much-needed reorientation of fashion by combining elements of timeless tailoring and artisanal handicraft. Following this vision for his Spring 2019 collection, this macramé dress is a perfect testament to design that is both simple and complex. The bodice of the dress is a combination of white and anthracite crepe de chine. The liquid fabric drapes beautifully over the shoulders creating a mock-shawl effect while the white and grey provide a sophisticated contrast. On one of the sleeves, the grey crepe is ruched while the other is split at the shoulder. This asymmetry provides additional interest to the very geometric lattice beading on the front of the bodice. The skirt is slightly pegged and is done from a neutral linen underlayer and a macramé overskirt that incorporates wooden beading in the mix of the knotting. The skirt finishes with a band of widely spaced fringe. The combination of raw edges, wood, and natural tones, paired with the modern silkiness of the grey crepe give this dress a refreshing and serene vibe. It can be worn for a casual day dress...Category
