1980s Emanuel Ungaro Black Silk Accordion Pleat Maxi Skirt

About the Item

The House of Emanuel Ungaro was founded in 1965 following the designer's stint at the Ateliers of both Cristobal Balenciaga and Andres Courreges and reached peak popularity in the 1980s. This elegant ankle-length skirt dates back to this era. Tailored from black silk chiffon, the swishy, full skirt is accordion pleated from the waistband to the bottom hem. It is cut to a flattering high-waist fit which is secured at the rear with a hidden zip and two hook-and-eye clasps. The original label reads “Ungaro Boutique Paris” and it is fully lined with inky-black satin. The lining has a small slit in it to allow for ease of movement. This highly wearable piece is in excellent vintage condition with no flaws, though please note that the composition label has been cut off. We suggest a best fit for sizes UK 6-8 or US 8-10 on account of the small waist. MEASUREMENTS Waist - 25 in. (64 cm) Hip - 40 in. (102 cm) Length - 41 in. (104 cm)

1970s Caroline Charles Cotton Striped Blouse and Skirt Ensemble
By Caroline Charles
Located in London, GB
This is a late 1970s or early 1980s ensemble by Caroline Charles, a well-known designer on the London circuit who has made beautiful formal wear and fine quality day clothes since the 1960s. This cotton suit is made up of a triple tiered skirt, belt and blouse and reminds of the 'peasant chic' look that Yves Saint Laurent was designing in the late 70s as part of his Ballet Russes collection. The blouse is high-necked with neat puff shoulders and tapered, gathered cuffs. The blouse is not lined whilst the skirt is fully lined in black cotton. The original wide fabric belt is retained, and we would suggest the blouse could be tucked into the skirt but also be fastened over the top and cinched in with the fabric belt. In very good vintage condition overall; the blouse appears to have been worn more than the skirt, which together with the belt, are in excellent condition. The skirt and blouse are labelled Caroline Charles and marked UK size 10. This is best suited in modern sizing to UK size 6-8, US size 2-4 on account of the waist measurements for the skirt, although the top could be worn by a size bigger. Notes on Designer: Caroline Charles began her design career after a couture appenticeship and a stint at Mary Quant. She was a founding designer at London Fashion Week and during the swinging 60s, her collections were worn by Lulu, Marianne Faithful and Cilla Black...
