Alessandro Dell'Acqua Embroidered Beaded Overlay Sheer Skirt, 1990s

About the Item

Naples-born designer Alessandro Dell’Acqua made his mark of the fashion scene in 1996 in Milan. Dell’Acqua’s design style can be described as tailored yet charmingly eccentric with a casual element. One of his earliest collections, Dell’Acqua’s FW 1998 collection, explores color and opacity using high-gloss satins and black sheer tulles arranged in a variety of volumes for added effect. Along those lines, this overlay skirt is made from a fine black tulle mesh and embroidered throughout with gunmetal beads and sequins arranged in a floral motif. The skirt sits low on the waist and falls just below the knee with the beading and sequins creating soft undulations in the otherwise straight silhouette. This skirt would be an excellent laying piece that can elevate any plain pencil skirt into a classy and elegant new look. The silk tulle mesh has a little stretch to it. In excellent condition, it closes at the side with a keyhole and waistband button. High-quality vintage 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 in yourself. Size: 40 Measurements: Waist: 28 inches Hips: up to 38 inches Length: 29 inches Size Estimate: Small

Mod Purple and White Polka Dot Maxi Wrap Skirt, 1970s
Located in Boca Raton, FL
The Mod style is one of the most iconic fashion eras. Rising in the late 1950s to 1960s, the Mod style grew out of the rising British youth culture and were characterized by juvenile silhouettes, and soft coordinated colors. The Mod style is emblematic of an easy cool and a carefree lifestyle. This midi length jersey wrap skirt features a polka-dot print of lavender, lilac, and royal purple dots trimmed in white on a black ground. The chunky dot shapes are reminiscent of the headlights on the iconic Mod Vespa motor scooters that likely inspired this 1970s design. The skirt along the front, and at the waistband is bordered in a royal purple that provides necessary balance as the dot pattern snakes across the skirt in a dynamic diagonal route. Additionally, the wild print is made more extreme by the waist pleats that impart an additional layer of undulation to the design. With a rather straight silhouette, this skirt mixes classic lines with a vibrant monochromatic print. Size estimate: XS/S Measurements: Waist: 24 inches Hips: 36 inches Length: 35.5 inches Made of smooth poly jersey and lined in a purple poly crepe, this skirt is a fun, classic, and quirky vintage style. Through the hips it has a traditional pencil skirt fit that flares slightly as it goes to the hem. On the waistband, the skirt can be fitted and adjusted with hidden snaps and a two-toned mauve and crème coloured button. This unlabelled vintage wrap skirt...

Dries Van Noten Sheer Silk Printed Pleated Skirt, Runway 2008
By Dries van Noten
Located in Boca Raton, FL
A remarkable talent of 21st century design, Dries Van Noten quickly captivated the world of fashion with his equally wearable and conceptual garments. Opening his Paris boutique in 2007 and then recognized by CFDA in 2008, Van Noten’s Fall 2008 collection stands as a monument to the designer’s growing acclaim. Implementing his signature abstract florals and unique color stories, the collection gave a psychedelic ethnic mood that is encompassed in this pleated, sheer, silk skirt. Sitting promptly at the waist with an austere black waist band, the delicate skirt is a sensory explosion of colors featuring tones of yellow ochre, mauve, red, and blue-green. The print rhythmically moves with the pleats slightly accentuating the hips as it moves into the dynamic, calf-length handkerchief hem. A vintage aura adds a particular charm to the seemingly futuristic print...
