Malcolm Starr Rhinestone Organza Print Dress, 1970s

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.)

Fendi’s aesthetic can easily be described as experimental. Constantly changing and evolving, Fendi truly captures the meaning of the unexpected. Incorporating stark hues and geometric silhouettes, the Spring 2008 collection by Fendi offered an artistic elision of modern femininity and Italian futurism that spoke to then-creative director, Karl Lagerfeld’s, reimagination of art. This dress, runway look #19 is done in layers of organza and printed silk, the skirt portion is organza with a circle print silk applique and the underlayer is printed silk. This collection featured a similar look in the MET at the Costume Institute's spring 2023 exhibition, A Line of Beauty. A version of this dress was in Fendi's Great Wall of China Show. In excellent condition, and new with tags attached, this dress has been cleansed with obsidian and sage to ensure that you welcome a bright new energy into your home and has also been professionally eco-dry cleaned and pressed. High-quality pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and yourself.
