Vintage 1960's Burke-Amey Couture Black Wool & Green Silk Applique Dress Suit
About the Item
Ultra chic and super sophisticated Burke-Amey graphic appliqué 3-piece ensemble dating back to their 1968-69 fall/winter collection. Burke-Amey was started in 1959 by designer Ronald Amey, and his business partner, Joseph Burke. Amey was known for his use of interesting materials and big, bold prints. This gorgeous black wool and emerald green silk showstopper is a perfect display of their genuine. The fabrics alone are a masterpiece; rich fully-lined woven wool with dynamic large-scale graphic emerald silk. I love the unique detailing of this set with its complex lines and modernist approach. The blouse, with built-in bodysuit, has a bold nehru collar and wide cuff billow-sleeves. The suit jacket has a flattering built-in waist belt and deco diamond appliques. Just look at those beautiful gold buttons. The matching skirt is a nipped waist tailored pencil that is cut to skim over your curves. It is refined, graceful and has workmanship of the highest quality. A truly beautiful three-piece designer ensemble and a beautiful example of the forward thinking from this swinging mod era.

- Vintage 1970s Sant' Angelo Burgundy Draped Chiffon Bodysuit & Fringed Maxi SkirtBy Giorgio di Sant' AngeloLocated in Beverly Hills, CAIncredibly stunning and highly desirable Giorgio Sant' Angelo designer bodysuit ensemble dating back to the late 1970's. He first hit the fashion scene when Diana Vreeland asked him to design clothing for a desert location shoot that starred Verushka in 1968. This shoot is legendary and his clothing was instantly sought out by all the most fashionable women on the planet. Sant' Angelo was the winner of two Coty Awards and two Council of Fashion Designers of America honors. He has had an entire museum exhibit dedicated to his work and will go down in history as one of the great American designers. This seductive two-piece set is a perfect example of his genius. I love the low-cut plunging draped bodysuit as a wardrobe staple. Would also look fantastic with trousers or jeans! The interior is a stretch jersey in a matching burgundy hue so when you put it on, the bodysuit molds to your bod in the most comfortable way. The sleeves are cut long and the draped backless bodice flows into the sash which wraps around the waist. Such a smart design! The matching high-waist embroidered fringe maxi skirt finishes the look off effortlessly. Sant' Angelo once said, "I am not a fashion designer but an artist who works in fashion engineer of form." We added many pictures so you can appreciate this masterful achievement.
