Emilio Schuberth Extravagant Black Fringe Shoulder Dress Suit - M, 1960s

About the Item

“Tailor of the stars” and a darling of the Cinecittà Studios, Emilio Federico Schubert created incomparable garments that celebrated La Dolce Vita before it had the name. Though Valentino and Roberto Capucci were among his students, he remains one of the unsung heroes of Italian fashion. The majority of his work is housed at The Met or the University of Parma, and few pieces ever reach the consumer market; this rare ensemble is from his 1960s boutique near the Spanish Steps, christened “Rome’s Fifth Basilica” by American shoppers. Three-piece dress suit including sleeveless cocktail dress, bead and sequin jacket and matching belt. Sleeveless dress features heavyweight ribbed silk fabric, peg skirt silhouette and rear center vent; rear zipper closure with top hook and eye. Matching jacket features band collar, lightly padded shoulders and cutaway front; sequin epaulets with 6” beaded fringe front and back. Open construction with no closures of any kind.

Milly Brown Satin Cone Bra Bolero and Petrol Ruched Pencil Skirt Suit - XS, 2002
By Milly New York
Located in Tucson, AZ
Angular, sexy and powerful from top to bottom, this satin suit is built of two pieces that can be worn together, as separates, or with our complementary Milly Autumn Roses suit listed under separate cover. With a sly nod to Gaultier’s fierce conical bodices and a skintight ruched pencil skirt that cups the derrière, the set has an edgy femininity that demands attention. The lining of each piece matches the exterior of the other, creating a sophisticated, intentional mismatch. Mismatched skirt and jacket set with complementary lining. Chocolate satin jacket features gently conical bust, surplice bracelet sleeves and 2” self ruffle around all edges. Clutch silhouette with no closures; fully lined in petrol silk to match skirt. Skirt features front and back 7” wide ruched panels from waist to hem for extra narrow fit; left side notch at knee for ease of walking. Left zipper closure; lined in brown silk to match jacket. fabric: silk satin noteworthy: dry clean only condition: excellent with original tags unattached repairs: none measurements •jacket• shoulders: 14” sleeve length: 19” from shoulder, 13” from underarm sleeve circumference: 13” bust: to 38” length: 16” from shoulder, 17” from rear neck (not including 2” ruffle around neck), 8 ½” from underarm sweep: 34” •skirt• waist: 25 ½” hips: 35” length: 23 ¼”including 1 ½” plain waistband sweep: 33” with side slit closed, 36” open hem: 1” side slit: 4 ½” label: Milly of New York...
