Vintage 1970's Bill Gibb Couture Embroidered Satin Mutton-Sleeve Jacket & Vest
About the Item
An ultra ethereal Bill Gibb of London couture two-piece ivory satin jacket set dating back to this 1972 fall-winter collection. His garments are very collectible and found in museum's around the globe. Bill Gibb, a forgotten fashion hero from the Scottish Highlands, incarnated the romantic essence of British style. While attending the Royal College of Art his fellow fashion students were Ossie Clark and Zandra Rhodes, who shared an unbridled vision. Gibb was one of the most influential and famous designers in 1970's Britain and this look is a wonderful example of his aesthetic during this time period. The front center has beautiful stylized floral embroidery in shades of pink, beige and baby blue. The collar is cut wide and there four large woodgrain buttons are the end of each mutton sleeve. I love how the whole jacket has pink overstitching. The matching gilet vest has the same woodgrain buttons and really takes the look to a new level. It's a timeless set simply because it exudes an undeniably unique flair, and yet remains incredibly current.

- 1991 Jean Paul Gaultier Documented Cher Worn Black Velvet Corset Cage JacketBy Jean Paul GaultierLocated in Beverly Hills, CAOwn an iconic, well documented piece of fashion and celebrity history. This important, Jean Paul Gaultier black silk-velvet corset cage jacket, from his highly acclaimed 1990 fall-winter runway collection, was personally owned by his good friend Cher. This epic piece was worn by this iconic superstar to the 1991 Billboard Music Awards as she presented an award to fellow diva, Mariah Carey. Not only is the gorgeous jacket a masterpiece in design but it was created by one of the biggest names in fashion. Jean Paul Gaultier is described as an "enfant terrible" of the industry, known for his unconventional designs with motifs including corsets, marinières, and tin cans. Gaultier redefined the corset as a symbol of female liberation and empowerment. The fabric used for this jacket is sensational; the highest quality fully-lined ultra soft silk velvet. The front is designed to simulate a laced-up corset and is accented with black corded toggle style loops. The bare cut-out construction is so provocative and eye-catching. The waist has a center back belt for more of a nipped fit if desired. The lean, long sleeves mixed with the nehru collar also gives the jacket an elevated military vibe which I love.

- 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."
