Outrageous Outerwear

The perfect antidote to post-holiday malaise? Outwear you won't want to take off!
Descriptions to follow.

Edwardian Steel Beaded Opera Coat - Attributed to Beer

'60s Copper raw silk opera coat with striped lining

'60s off-white heavy silk swing coat

Early Comme des Garcons asymmetrical wool coat
'70s Beged-Or ruched sleeve suede coat

A little New Year's Glitz

Finding The New Year's Eve dress can get less-than-festive. Feting the bright future calls for serious wow factor and somehow we always end up scrambling for solutions. These three dresses = instant style fix.

Late '60s rhinestone-studded Pierre Balmain

In the airiest silk chiffon and studded all over with teensy rhinestones, this swingy Balmain was made for coy glances behind champagne glasses. It's been altered (probably from a maxi dress) into a shorter more wearable shift. Excellent condition, about a modern 4-6.

---------------------------------------------------------

'80s Betsey Johnson giraffe micro-mini

Trademark Betsey: outrageous b/w giraffe print, daringly skimpy, and lots of stretch for maximum vamp effect. Labeled a medium, about a modern 6-8. Punk label, good condition.

-----------------------------------------------------------

'70s Mollie Parnis plum chiffon evening gown

The classic fairytale dress with the perfect dose of '70s, this Mollie Parnis plum chiffon is a super-flattering dream. The bodice is boned and quilted without being bulky; the skirt is semi-sheer and lined with a nice full sweep. No size label, about a modern 4. Excellent condition.

SOLD

Fend off frostbite in these natty knits

Around this time of year, the merest mention of sweaters is liable to induce panic attacks (or at least a few holiday horror stories). Don't reach for the re-gifting drawer just yet - these knits are are a far cry from grandma's homage to Rudolph & co.

'70s Electric Blue & Patent St. John sweater
**click to enlarge**

Dear St. John,
Please start making knits like this again. Tiny patent leather appliques and awesomely bold colors = better image overhaul than slapping a powersuit on the nearest pillow-lipped screen siren. Also see below dress for further reference. Thanks,
Pinky Guest Vintage
-no size label (about a 2-4), partial zip up back and slightly puffed sleeves. Excellent condition.

Early '70s St. John Naughty Nautical Dress
**click to enlarge**

Again, we wonder why the ritzy knitwear brand took a turn for the regal grand dame scene - this fantastic striped shift is begging for a night on the town! No size, about a modern 4-6. Shown with amazingly fabulous one-of-a-kind orange rubber corset belt (available by custom order at a surprisingly low price!). Excellent condition.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Mid '80s Missoni ethnic print sweater dress
**click to enlarge**

F/W '07 Checklist:
1) Slouchy Knits
2) Modern takes on ethnic prints
3) Luxurious Lambswool from legendary Italian knitwear house
Done, done, and done!
Shown belted for minidress/tunic fit - unbelted it hits just at the knee. Photos don't do this one justice. Range of sizes depending on preferred fit. Excellent condition.

-----------------------------------------
More Missoni - late '70s rose-print cardigan
**click to enlarge**

Unless you're a strong-willed type who manages to resist the glossies, you know that prints are white hot. In flexible jewel tones and soft lambswool, this chic Missoni cardigan is the perfect year-round piece. No size label, it'll be slouch on the skinnies and saucily snug on an hourglass. Excellent condition.
------------------------------------------------

Marvelous Mugler '80s angora sweaterdress/coat
**click to enlarge**

Thierry Mugler is best known for his strong architectural shapes that often bordered on the severe (his armor-like suiting put the power in powersuit). This buttery angora sweaterdress/coat is pure Mugler but with a softer side. The asymmetrical snap closure and figure-friendly dropped waist make for pure comfort without sacrificing an iota of chic. Labeled a 44, about a modern 6-8. Good condition with minor pilling.

----------------------------------------------

Knit and vinyl appliqué Kansai Yamamoto skirt
**click to enlarge**

Most famous for his legendary work as David Bowie's costumer, Kansai Yamamoto is one iconic designer whose work appears in museums but has somehow missed the mass adoration of his like-minded peers. With his genius blend of traditional and trashy, his pieces are instantly recognizable and this skirt is no exception. With enormous black and red vinyl appliques and figure-skimming stretch knit, this one really proves that knits need not be dowdy! Labeled a small, it's about a modern 4 with some minor fraying at the waist.

All that glitters.....

.....is instant sartorial gold. Maybe it's the blinding effect of all those sequins but we're suckers for anything spangled. Luckily for you, these are more glam rock than rest stop so add a little glitz to your wardrobe. Warning: it's addictive.

Early '80s Oleg Cassini sequined mini dress

**click to enlarge**

Black, backless and bedazzled, this sizzling Oleg Cassini mini dress pretty much defines the word show-stopper. The slouchy top and dolman sleeves keep it just this side of scandalous and the black sequins are sparkling, not scary.
Labeled a size six, it's more like a 0-2.

SOLD

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Late '70s I. Magnin sequined harem jacket

**click to enlarge**

If the windbreakers looked like this, we would've never skipped P.E. ! Dripping in black, silver, and gunmetal sequins, it's short in the front with a rounded longer back and two front hook & eye closures. Amazing over drainpipes or a mini.
Labeled an 8 but its slouchy style will fit a range (0-8)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Early '60s lime beaded & sequined evening dress

**click to enlarge**

Comparatively demure, this floor-length confection is the perfect cure for the winter doldrums. Figure-skimming, with elaborate floral beading all around the neckline. No designer or size labels but a "Made in British Colony of Hong Kong" label - impeccably made.
Will fit a modern 6-8, hem is creased, not unstitched.

------------------------------------------------------------------

'70s "Tally Boutique" sequined tulip skirt

**click to enlarge**

Concerned that there just wasn't enough disco ball taking place with this black slit-to-thigh skirt we took the liberty of throwing a hologram sash on over it. From "Tally Creations - New York" this bit of seventies sparkle can also be worn as a top. Labeled an 8, it seems pretty true to size. Sash can be included. -

SOLD

Luxe Labels = Arm Candy

The logo-print waters can be tricky to navigate: "replica" bags reign supreme and even a hand-crafted Karl creation can start to look like a bit much. Problem solved with the unmistakable chic of a vintage signature print bag. We've always liked a logo that looks like it's been around the block a bit.

Very Vintage Gucci Tennis/Gym Bag

**click to enlarge**

Unapologetically enormous with bold interlocking Gs and a fat red/blue stripe, this amazing Gucci tennis bag will have the stylish but sedentary reaching for a racket. Use it as a weekender or haul it to pilates - this glamorous duffle will add a dash of sportif to your accessories wardrobe.
* Needs a bit of sprucing-up (top zipper is detached and key to lock long-gone), nothing a good shoe/bag man can't tackle.

----------------------------------------------------------

'70s Gucci cream and tan logo satchel

**click to enlarge**

This coated canvas and leather satchel is of a subtler breed, with the palest beige interlocking Gs on the cream canvas and a quietly embossed monogram. Surprisingly roomy with an adjustable strap, lined in suede. Wear to the corners means it could also use some brand-aid (hardy-har).

-------------------------------------------------------------------

'70s Gucci Accessory Collection Doctor's Bag

**click to enlarge**

The Doctor's bag is a perennial fashion favorite, with the storage capacity of a hobo but a sleeker streamlined shape. This one features the smaller print seen in Gucci's late '70s accessory collection and has a detachable longer strap. The inside is peeling and cracking quite a bit, outside wear is moderate.

----------------------------------------------------------

'70s Gucci traditional print shoulder bag

**click to enlarge**

A classic camera-style shoulder bag in signature Gucci print. Measures about eleven inches across and three inches deep. In excellent condition with just a few minor scratches and pen marks inside.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

'70s Gucci black tasseled frame bag

**click to enlarge**

A fantastic day-to-night frame bag in classic black with tassel detail, about nine inches wide and 2.5 inches deep. Strap has split and will need to be repaired.

Vintage Fendi striped camera bag

Excellent condition with adjustable strap and monogrammed details galore.
