A
modern jacket by Christian Dior, in a vintage-inspired style that's
reminiscent of the "New Look" era tailoring. John Galliano brought
touches of the original Dior era into his collections whilst working as
chief designer, and this piece flaunts such. In this piece, we see that
Galliano has added his styling detail through the use of the
eastern-inspired buttons. The jacket is fashioned from a shell pink wool
blend fabric, and lined in very luxurious floral printed silk. It's
decorated with silk-thread wrapped buttons to the front and cuffs, which
add a further element of fine detailing.
The cut flaunts clean lines
with hip pockets that flatter the waistline of the wearer, creating the
feminine shape. It's a versatile piece for the wardrobe that can be worn
for day wear, paired with jeans, trousers, or a pencil skirt; as well
as more smart occasions, such as afternoon tea or weddings- and of
course it will looks stunning over a little frock. In excellent
condition. Size: labeled a FR 38, fits a UK 8, or US 4, and up to 34inch
bust, sleeve length from shoulder to cuff 23inches, back neck to hem
23.5inches.

A most exquisite ball gown, from one of the modern greats- Valentino. It dates to 1994, and the runway piece was worn by supermodel Nadja Auermann in the collection's show. Today, a similar boutique example would retail in the region of $10,000. The gown is signature to Valentino's classical work of the early 90's, when he repeatedly used this incredible duchesse silk satin fabric, and adorned his evening wear with single bows, whilst silhouettes were cut very fitted and flattered the waistline.
The dramatic shape is achieved through the skirt's construction, which is comprised of a straight line, floor length skirt, with the appearance of an overskirt that gently billows and cascades, whilst lengthening towards the back, ending in a trailing hemline. The bodice treatment accentuates the strapless heart neckline in a graceful manner.
Fashioned from rich, copper brown duchesse silk satin, which is smooth and of a substantial weight, it's one of the most luxurious materials used in couture & high fashion. The material is also backed with stiffened tulle, which is internal, and backed in the satin, and finally lined in fine silk. The internal tulle method is done to help maintain the structured shape. There is also an internal bustier series of boning and brassiere for support. It fastens with an internal waistband, and zipper to the lining and exterior. Fits a modern US 4 or small 6.
We are proud to present this exceptionally rare duo of grand, mid-18th century fashion. We have acquired this pair from England, however the collection it was acquired from also held many French items of the same period.
First is a regal pannier court robe of sack-back style with the original petticoat, dating to the 1760's. Both pieces are fashioned from very luxurious silk brocade, in a palette of smooth delicately vivid apple-green with pink and red accents. It's lavishly trimmed in ruched silk with silk thread dress edging. The set is lined, and fastens with front buttons. It showcases an absolute master dressmaker's fine skill, with the voluminous and romantic "sack-back" and attention to detail by elaborately trimming all edges in the fine ruched silk. Such an amount of regal fabric as used in this ensemble, would have reflected extreme wealth and privilege- mostly held by aristocrats.
Second is gentleman's taffeta frock coat and silk waistcoat, for display purposes we found the similar greens to pair beautifully together, regardless of their few years of age difference. The coat is of striped silk taffeta, whilst the waistcoat is of ivory fine silk and features traditional floral embroidery and silk covered buttons. Both pieces are presented in lovely condition.

Is "exquisite" the right word to describe this creation? We believe yes, indeed. From a first glance, it's overtly distinct couture-quality can be noted. The sheer feeling of awe will strike when touching the fine silks, admiring the interior construction, listening to it's gentle rustling of petticoats, and getting lost in the detailed bead work.
Dating to the late-50s/early-60s, this ball gown was designed by Rhavis of London. Although this designer has very little noted reference today, in past we have owned another example from the same label, which bared the same fine details and distinctively feminine, couture-quality. During our past research we found references to the designer within British film credits for wardrobe design.
It's surface decoration features bead work and appliques, both of which were applied by hand. The gown is fashioned from layers of gossamer-fine silk, overlaid against internal layers of petticoats with intricate construction and hand finishing throughout. There is also a beautifully constructed internal corset.
Garment Measurements: Bust 34inches, Waist 25inches
