A gorgeous and highly coveted Yves Saint Laurent floral print maxi dress from the infamous Rive Gauche 1974 fall-winter collection. Finding documented pieces from this decade is very rare as these are true examples of fashion history. The fabric is a rich brown satin viscose which is incredibly soft on the skin. I adore the low scoop-neck plunge bodice with long slightly-billow sleeves. It's definite a piece of fashion history that is wearable and comfortable, yet has its own unique avant-garde elements. "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."

Missoni is defined by its impressionist color stories and signature knit designs. The designs speak to the idea of simplicity with the value always being in the fine details. Done in a silky rayon crochet knit, this 1970s Missoni ensemble is made from gradients of dusty rose, blue-grey, pale yellow, and gold to create an overall warm, beachy feeling dress set. The cardigan drapes from a rounded neckline into elbow length sleeves. The undulating drape compliments the wave-like ribs in the fabric. A rather boxy silhouette, the softness of the drape and the movement of the colors give it a lighter feel. Underneath, the dress showcases a more textured, horizontal knit design that adds dimension and movement to the ensemble. The dress hugs the figure from the torso through the hips and from a dropped waistline falls into a straight maxi skirt. The fun doesn’t stop there. This ensemble also features a matching beret done in the same wavy knit style as the dress bodice and necklace made from a rope of the fabric threaded through circular carnelian beads. A picturesque sunset wrapped neatly in a matching ensemble...

​Surjit and Adarsh Gill, the sister duo from India, launched Saz in New York in 1969. Their beautiful, feminine designs featured embroidered silks and were, as noted in an article for The New York Times, “Based on the assumption that in every crisp, tailored woman there is a mysterious enchantress yearning to come out at night.” Their pieces seemed to fulfill this desire, with an early collection being described as “…the sort of Arabian Nights dream the assembled women had been hoping to see come true.” Rather than simply reproduce the Sari for the West, the sisters created a “mini-sari” inspired by the traditional garb, which favored short bodices paired with long skirts. This was one of their most recognizable silhouettes, along with triangular hem lines and pants paired with tunics. Done in 100% hand woven sheer silk, this Saz by Surjit & Adarsh Gill Dress is whimsical and seductive at once. The dress derives inspiration from the sister’s “mini-sari”, with its fitted peek-a-boo bodice and maxi length skirt that reaches a few inches above the ankles. Featuring an abstract pattern of white diamonds, squares, circles, and rectangles on a black ground, the dress has an underlayer of opaque black silk which brings the print to life. The sheer bodice begins with a high neckline and long sleeves, providing the perfect canvas for the fitted underlayer of black silk beneath it, featuring a triangular neckline and a midriff baring cut...
