Elrond cosplay - Autumn 2022 nature shoot 😃✨🍃🍁💚💜

This was initially a Rivendell Elf OC outfit, but it’s inspired mostly by Elrond’s outfits and Elrond is one of my fave Tolkien characters, so Elrond it is 😁👌 . I absolutely love the shapes and draping of this velvet combo alongside the dupioni silk sash 💜💚 The tunic was a lucky Zara find with just the exact red-purple silk lining as the sash, how cool is that! It was a robe originally, so I just had to have buttons added to the front and sleeves. I love green with purple, and the moss green velvet of the tunic (almost golden in some lightings), the deep forest green velvet of the mantle and the red-purple (fuchsia in certain lightings) duponi silk of the sash are just so gorgeous 😍 . The embroidery on the sash is inspired on the design of Elrond’s Council robe sash, but I later realized that the shade of the dupioni silk I got is really similar to the one Arwen wears with her Farewell dress as well, and the design she wears is really similar too, so it’s a mix of both xD

Comparing Elisabeth's costumes in the Vienna productions of Elisabeth das musical (Act 1)

And I'm back once again to perhaps prove a point, but mainly to pour out some of the frustration. In this post, I'll be comparing the costumes chronologically worn by Elisabeth in the Vienna productions of Elisabeth: the original/1st revival (designed by Reinhard Heinrich; lower refered to as the Heinrich version) and the 2nd revival/Schönbrunn concert (designed by Yan Tax; lower refered to as the Tax version). The Yan Tax design was first used in the 2001 Essen production, but was later carried over into the 2nd revival Vienna production in 2012 and VBW kept on using it since.

I tried to mainly find higher quality photos of all these costumes, but sometimes, I had no luck in doing that. So, at times, I will use a screenshot because nothing else was available. I mainly tried to look for pictures of the 1st revival (circa 2003-2005) and 2nd revival (circa 2012 - 2013), but I will sometimes use pictures from the original production (1992-1996).

Disclaimer: the contents below are my subjective opinion as a student of set and costume design and I will be mainly looking at what the costume tells me within the context and the construction. If you prefer costumes I don't, your opinion is totaly valid and you're welcome to discuss why you think otherwise in reblogs and comments below. :) After each section, I'll try to sum up which of the costumes I liked better and why.

Little Sisi:

Heinrich version: light blue and white trachten/dirndl with a lace apron, hair bow and ribbon choker. Not only fitting her origin as a Bavarian princess, but also sweet with the pastel colors and the accordingly fluffy, but light construction. The costume is girly, but not hindering when is comes to Sisi climbing trees and other physical activities she mentions she likes.

Tax version: short green/brown/orange plaid print dress. Now, this is a historically plausible costume, but do I like it? Absolutely not. The colors and print are ugly and don't fit Sisi's character in the slightest. And with the way the costume has multiple ruffles and pleats, it just makes it too busy to look at. And the skirt is too fluffy for this point in the show. (And they did Abla absolutely dirty with the wig they gave her in 2022 Schönbrunn)

Which is better? Heinrich version all the way. It's sweet and girly, but not too much and I love that it's a trachten/dirndl. The Tax version is just too busy with the plaid and I don't like the colors.

Bad Ischl:

Heinrich version: Dark blue short-sleeved bodice and skirt, matching hair bow and velvet ribbon long choker and bracelets. This costume is directly inspired by what Elisabeth could have worn during this first meeting in Ischl (when she met Franz, she and all her family were in dark mourning dresses, since they didn't have time to change and unlike Helene, who looked washed out in her dark dress, the dark dress really suited Elisabeth). Another little interesting historical detail I noticed here is the choker, which looks like a ribbon choker Elisabeth was mostly depicted wearing during her engagement to Franz. So, awesome that they kept in these little historical details.

Tax version: Long-sleeved bodice and skirt. Now, I've seen this dress in a ton of different fabrics (white with a broad floral trim on the skirt, blue plaid) but I think the most common variant of this costume is this beige one with the orange-red and green pattern. Now, once again, this is a historically more plausible costume, since the meeting took place during the day and so it would be proper for Elisabeth to be covered up, but it doesn't take into account any of the historical happenings. Which just seems to me like the designer didn't do any background research into Elisabeth specifically. And if we're going on pure aesthetic level alone, this dress is so plain and boring.

Which is better? Once again, Heinrich won this. No question needed. And while we're at it, the colorplay the dark dress on Elisabeth offers in Nichts ist schwer is much better that the light dress (We're about to get into lighting here, because that is also important to consider). With the reddish and blue lights for this scene, the dark dress stands out against that very red Habsburg eagle, but the light dress gets a red/pink wash from the lights, which makes Elisabeth almost visually disappear in that scene (see image below). The entire colorplay in the Tax version is simply off for this scene (because the thing that most stands out to me isn't Elisabeth, it's Franz's VERY green knitted socks).

Wedding dress:

Heinrich version: white satin bodice and skirt with silvery translucent overlay, ruffled bertha collar with beaded fringe and puffed translucent sleeves. The amount of soft texture this dress has under the stage lights is so amazing and I really like the choice of sleeve here, since it does remind me of the puffed sleeves she had on her trachten, but this is like a more grown up version. And since the sleeves are translucent and long, it gives Elisabeth the appearance of not fitting in with the court ladies, who all have short sleeves in opaque fabrics . The silvery contrasts look great and the way that white fringe looks like the fringe on Tod's jacket from the Prolog (thus connecting them visually) is *chef's kiss*.

Tax version: white satin button-up bodice with pagoda sleeves and skirt with striped accents. This dress is giving me a whole lot of nothing. Like, there isn't anything eyecatching here. And it makes Elisabeth look kinda dowdy with how covered up she is. And, if they were going for more "historical accuracy", why then put her in a dress that could be classified as daywear (with the long sleeves and the very prominent buttons in the front) if all of the wedding should be taking place in the evening?

Which is better? Heinrich version. The Tax version is too flat and plain for me. If the Heinrich design is proving anything so far, it's that historical accuracy can easily be beaten out with good and purposeful artistic design.

Nightgown:

Heinrich version: structured white nightgown with a slightly raised waistline, broad lace straps and lace trim. Once again, I love the structure the fabric has, it looks soft and romantic under the stage lights. The straps are so characteristic and they make her arms completely bare, thus making her appear vulnerable when facing Sophie and the ladies in waiting.

Tax version: white satin empire waist nightgown with short puffed sleeves. They literally couldn't have picked a thinner and cheaper looking satin for this costume? It literally looks so flimsy, especially since this costume has no texture and no decoration going on. I think the very high empire waistline is also a rather off choice, since it would be very out of fashion during the 1850s and it is a waist placement that often looks awkward on a lot of people. And there are the sleeves. They are very awkwardly short. Especially on the concert costumes, the sleeves literally look like they have 2 cm of an inseam at best.

Which is better? I think this is no surprise, but Heinrich once again gets it.

Stationen eine Ehe:

Heinrich version: White robe with ruffled lace trimmings, long bell-shaped sleeves and a broad light blue sash at the waist. I always love when I see a good nightrobe on stage and this is no exception. The material is delicate and translucent enough to keep Elisabeth looking very vulnerable in this scene, even though she's covered up. And the amount and placement of ruffling is just right. What I also find very interesting is that sash, because that color is so eyecatching (reminds me of a robin's egg) and it really gives the robe a distinct look.

Tax version: Reddish-pink duochrome satin bodice with fake buttons and pagoda sleeves w/ white puffed undersleeves and a matching skirt worn over a circular hoopskirt. Once again, more historically plausable, but it doesn't offer me anything as a costume. By making Elisabeth's silhouette here the same as Sophie and the ladies in waiting and by not giving the fabric any sort of softening embellishments, it removes this vulnerability she should have here. And I don't get why they went for this weird pink shade, because it makes no storytelling sense. And while we're at it, why did they choose to put her in this braided wig here? In real life portraiture, we don't get Elisabeth depicted with her hair in these braided updos up until the mid 1860s. The Heinrich version cleverly went around this by keeping Elisabeth with long loose curls through Act 1 to emphasize her girlishness and naivity, so when we see her with her hair braided up in the portrait reveal, it's this clear visual breaking point for her, showing us how she matured. But in the Tax version, it's a mess when it comes to wigs.

Which is better? Once again, Heinrich takes the cake. I feel like I might be biased, but I just can't find any rhyme and reason in the Tax costumes so far.

Schatten Hungarian dress:

Heinrich version: black and dark blue striped satin bodice with a fake stomacher and puffed sleeves and skirt with a black lace apron. For how little time this costume gets on stage, it is so crucial in this design, since it is both a visual paralel with Elisabeth's Hungarian coronation gown (but here, the silhouette is less mature and it's like a dark version of that dress), but also, this dress is paralelled again in the Mayerling dresses, since Shatten in Act 1 and Mayerling are paralel scenes, where Death takes away one of Elisabeth's children because of her unadvised decisions.

Tax version: same dress as in Stationen eine Ehe, but over it is worn a red velvet atilla with gold cording and brown fur trim and a matching red velvet hat. The atilla looks decently made and the cording does seem ok. This is a much technically easier way how to do this quick costume change, but it's ok. What I don't like here is the hat. It simply looks awkward witch the placement of where it's sitting and that cord in the front doesn't make it better. And once again, I am missing the paralels!

Which is better? I will probably sound like I'm repeating myself, but Heinrich version wins again. You can never beat good paralels and visual connections in costume design.

Elisabeth, mach auf mein Engel:

Heinrich version: Same robe as during Stationen eine Ehe (but this time with a better picture). Still love it here, because this is still supposed to be a vulnerable moment (especially when Death comes in at the end). So by keeping her in this nightgown, which she previously wore at a vulnerable moment, we have an immediate connection of how she feels.

Tax version: White chiffon robe with elbow length sleeves w/ lace engageants and with a train trimmed with lace ruffles, worn over a long pale pink/peach/orange?? satin slip. And we have a dreaded return of that flimsy satin! The nightgown for the most part looks ok, but another of this production's big issues comes in here and that is a gaping issue on front closing overcostumes. (If you read my 2022 Schönbrunn roast, you might remember how I complained about the massive amount of gaping in the front Der Tod's doctor disguise had). Here, the gaping could have easily been fixed with an added ruffle along the seam.

Which is better? Heinrich once again.

Star dress:

Heinrich version: Cream bodice with gathered tulle overlay, bertha collar trimmed with pearls and 3 tiered tulle ruffle sleeves, matching skirt with draped tulle overlay, tulle sash and pearl necklace. I love how this dress isn't an outright copy of the Winterhalter portrait, but keeps the soft, etherial and dreamy vibe the dress has. This dress looks light as a feather and even if it doesn't outright have stars, it has a light shimmer in the tulle.

Tax version: Cream bodice decorated with tulle overlay w/ gold embroidered stars, with pleated bertha collar, single tier tulle ruffle sleeves, matching skirt, matching star embroidered shawl, white satin gloves and star necklace. I love how this costume looks exactly like the portrait! The design is great, but sometimes, there have been some hiccups with the execution, specifically with balancing the volume of the sleeve in relation to the skirt. The costume below is one of the better ones, but often, the sleeves end up being too big and the skirt too narrow, throwing the proportion off. And sometimes, the costume can end up looking too stiff.

Which is better? Depending on the version. For me, this will be a tie. The better versions of the Tax design are equally as good as the Heinrich versions. However, if I were to take into account some of the stiffer versions of the Tax design, Heinrich would take the win again.

LADY GAGA IN CELINE FOR JOKER LA PREMIERE

Lady Gaga attended the Los Angeles premiere of the upcoming "Joker: Folie à Deux" movie at the TCL Chinese Theatres last night.

Styled by Tom Eerebout and Sandra Amador, here's what she wore!

Gaga opted for a striking black gown by Celine, marking her second time wearing the designer during this press tour. While Gaga had worn Celine at the London premiere just days earlier, her choice to return to the French fashion house for the LA event was deliberate, underscoring her alignment with the film’s darker themes.

This custom piece features a structured silhouette with a mock neck, a daring side slit, and bold, billowy satin taffeta shoulders that extend into a dramatic cape-like feature at the back. The voluminous design of the shoulders, combined with the sleek and minimalist column shape, speaks to a balance between power and elegance—a signature in Gaga’s fashion narrative.

Returning to black after previous colorful and playful looks aligns with Gaga’s understanding of thematic coherence. Black is classic, authoritative, and in many ways, cinematic—especially for a film as tonally dark as this one. Her decision to wear the same designer twice during the press tour could be seen as a continuation of a narrative, tying together both premieres through a consistent aesthetic. Black also allows the focus to shift from the dress itself to the emotional gravitas of the event. It’s a color that refuses to distract, making it the perfect canvas for Gaga’s embodiment of her character.

While it might seem repetitive to some that she chose Celine again, this could signal a deeper connection between Gaga and the brand, especially considering that black, in this case, serves as more than just a fashion statement—it becomes an extension of the film’s atmosphere. Though the user (me) expresses disappointment in not seeing her explore another designer, Gaga’s dedication to theme speaks volumes, staying true to her roots in performance art and creating a cohesive narrative that transcends fashion.

Gaga also opted for Tiffany & Co. jewelry (almost as if expected!).

For her ears, she chose their Schlumberger-designed platinum and 18k yellow-gold on black enamel with diamonds Banana earrings.

Her Vignes necklace hails from the 2022 "Botanica" Blue Book high jewelry collection.

Impressive in scale and presence, it features a suite of oval rubellites of over 330 total carats, oval cabochon emeralds of over 50 total carats and round brilliant diamonds of over 10 total carats – all intertwined by intricate 18k yellow-gold "vines".

Next, she wore the Schlumberger-designed platinum and 18k yellow-gold with diamonds on black enamel bracelet.

Her favorite Pleaser Flamingo-1020 black vinyl platform lace-up ankle boots completed the look.

For the after party, she decided to serve us real 90s goth realness in a vintage black crushed velvet cami maxi dress which she topped off with a Celine classic black wool gabardine blazer with notched lapels and two buttons ($2,750).

Shop:

Celine Classic Blazer ($2,750.00)

She also wore the Oliver Peoples Maysen glossy black acetate sunglasses with silver details ($619).

Shop:

Oliver Peoples “Maysen” Sunglasses ($619.00)

Jessica Minh Anh organized J Summer Fashion Show 2023 on Costa Diadema, Rio de Janeiro

Jessica Minh Anh, the world’s renowned fashion show producer and supermodel, transformed the sun deck of Brazil’s most luxurious cruise ship, Costa Diadema, into an epic sky-high ocean catwalk. Against the cinematic backdrop of Rio de Janeiro skyline, Jessica’s latest spectacle, J Summer Fashion Show 2023, premiered exquisite haute couture, swimwear, and accessory collections from Europe, Asia, North, and South America. The red-carpet event was a celebration of fashion, sustainability, and cultural diversity.

Jessica Minh Anh opened the highly anticipated catwalk in an alluring embellished powder pink “��o Dài” paired with velvet pants designed by Vietnamese brand Gam Voc. A representative of Jessica’s home country, Gam Voc breathed a new life into Asian cultural wear with charming and chic designs on silk, velvet, taffeta, and lace. Dragon embroidery patterns signaled the coming of the Lunar New Year alongside the use of red, black and pink color palette.

Next on the runway, the exotic beachwear brand Sauvage from the US premiered a bold collection with vivid colors and architectural one pieces and bikinis. The collection by designer Elizabeth Southwood featured colorful prints, Swarovski crystals, and chic detailing. This was the third time Sauvage joined Jessica Minh Anh’s production, following J Autumn Fashion Show 2022 on Pier 34 in New York City.

Ukrainian designer Oksana Mukha closed the show with an extraordinary haute couture collection of lavish dresses and floral details.

Jessica Minh Anh appeared as a vision in a structured red dress with dramatic, 1980s-inspired sleeves, plunging neckline, and an epic long trail. The red-carpet masterpiece accentuated Jessica’s classic silhouette while showcasing the designer’s high-precision and immaculate craftsmanship. The outstanding dress was accompanied by mesmerizing jewelry pieces including a red sea-inspired necklace and rings from Brazilian designer Cristina Sabatini, who has worked with Jessica Minh Anh over the past decade across the five continents.

The supermodel’s unique look was complimented by an impressive Christ the Redeemer inspired hairstyle designed by Brazilian artists at Rio’s famous d-unhas salon. Jessica led a stunning model line-up on the sky-high ocean catwalk against the picturesque backdrop of deep blue sea and Rio de Janeiro’s skyline.

This was Jessica’s fifth collaboration with the Italian pride, Costa Cruises, with the two sharing a vision towards a promising future. Just latest year, Jessica hosted the world’s first sustainable ocean catwalk on the liquefied natural gas cruise ship Costa Toscana in Portofino, Italy and stole the show during Milan Fashion Week. Other editions of her famous cruise series took place in Dubai, Sydney, Hong Kong, and New York.

“Jessica Minh Anh is a trailblazer in the fusion of fashion and sustainability, mirroring Costa Cruises' commitment to providing cutting-edge vessels and sustainable initiatives. Our enduring partnership began in 2013 with the J Winter Fashion Show in Dubai. We are thrilled to once again welcome Jessica and her spectacular production aboard the Costa Diadema. This year, we are celebrating 75 years of Costa in Brazil, and we take immense pride in this anniversary with Jessica Minh Anh on board.” said Dario Rustico, General Manager of Americas at Costa Cruises.

Jessica Minh Anh’s multi-talented team from Paris, Milan, and New York experienced Brazilian hospitality at Hotel Laghetto Stilo São Paulo before boarding the ship from Santos to Rio de Janeiro. “Seeing the vibrant, creative, and welcoming spirit of Brazil and its people was amazing”, said Jessica Minh Anh.

J Summer Fashion Show 2023 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil marked Jessica Minh Anh’s 28th innovative production. Nearly a decade after celebrating the strength and resilience of the young generation with the first ever event at New York City’s iconic One World Trade Center, Jessica remains a constant force in revolutionizing global runways. Expect the unexpected from the girl who invades fashion with daring ideas and a strong message for a sustainable future.

Charli XCX’s red carpet style has one major factor in common with her genre-bending music: range. There was the singer’s punk era circa the mid-2010s, her futuristic Pop 2 moment shortly after, and, her Brat phase that soundtracked 2024.Throughout it all the singer has mastered the art of statement fashion on the big stage, cozying up to some of fashion’s most exciting and avant-garde labels like Marni, JW Anderson, Vivienne Westwood, and Loewe. Charli has always been a fan of form-fitting gowns on the red carpet, often accented with some sort of unexpected accessory or bold beauty moment. But despite her preference for body-con looks, she also isn’t afraid to mix in matching separates or tailoring from time to time. Below, a look back at Charli XCX’s best red carpet moments, from True Romance to Brat.2024: LACMA Art+Film GalaSteve Granitz/FilmMagic/Getty ImagesCharli loves a good party and this disco ball-esque Gucci look was more than ready for one.2024: WSJ.

The red sequined plunging stunner with halterneck, column skirt and flower belt detail is from Rodarte's Fall/Winter 2020 collection ($1,827).

In the same visual, she wears this absolutely divine plush black velvet column dress with deep nude illusion mesh panel and rows of pearl necklaces from Russian designer Kamilla Purshie’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection.

Let's get to the show! A label I've been eyeing for some time ever since being loved by the likes of Taylor Swift and Kelly Rowland is Taipei-based Nicole + Felicia who whipped out this fun beaded fringe mini dress for their Bridal Fall/Winter 2020 collection that any showgirl would love.

She topped it off with a new Arturo Rios Faux Grass white feather showgirl headpiece

Dita von Teese, if you please!

The Always Love You crystal-embellished silver hoop dangle earrings ($396) are made by Laruicci...

Shop:

Laruicci “Always Love You” Earrings ($396.00)

…while the Jimmy Choo metallic silver Anouk stiletto pumps provided the finishing touches.

Lady Gaga then devoured in this custom Prabal Gurung rose gold sunburst pleated silk lamé gown with hand-embroidered crystals and ostrich feather-trimmed cape.

Both her Hyperbola rhodium-plated hoop earrings with crystals in different cuts ($600)...

...and matching Hyperbola open cuff are created by Swarovski.

Shop:

Swarovski "Hyperbola" Earrings ($600.00)

The look was perfectly accentuated with these Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps coated in pink satin!

This was one of the, if not THE look most of you have been flooding my message inbox about.

LG stunned the Vegas crowd (and us) wearing a custom couture Rose Blossom metallic plissé gown by recently-gone-viral designer Robert Wun, whose been part of her wardrobe since 2013!

The silver-tone mixed crystal flower linear drop earrings are by I.N.C. International Concepts exclusively sold at Macy's.

The perfect shoe to complete the red looks of the show are by Christian Louboutin, who created the super fun Hot Chick Psychic metallic red leather slingback pumps ($852).

Another fun Robert Wun moment was this full look based on his Spring/Summer 2023 Haute Couture collection which went viral!

Signature peplum corset top in a bonded white satin, enhanced with silk taffeta ruching detail on the bust and lace-up back with matching large stole. Paired with a low-waist technical wool skirt with asymmetrical slit pleating details in anthracite.

Styled with a black & white 3D-printed headpiece with stripped coque feathers and long black gloves.

Hot, hotter, GAGA! Our girl twirled around the stage rocking a custom Garo Sparo fiery red showgirl beaded fringe bodysuit dress with hand-stoned crystal pattern and asymmetrical hem, inspired by old Bob Mackie pieces!

If you look closer, you can see that inbetween her fingers shines the Swarovski Hyperbola cocktail ring ($400).

Shop:

Swarovski "Hyperbola" Ring ($400.00)

Hell-o! Gaga brought out the best of Vegas' spirit appropriately decked out in the master of sexy dresswear: Zuhair Murad. And yes, this is the first time!

LG selected a sparkly fringe number fully embroidered in gold sequins and crystals of various sizes from the Lebanese designer's Fall/Winter 2022 Haute Couture collection, inspired by mystical arts, from Tarot and astrology to horoscopes and palmistry, to dispel the concerns of an unsettled age through the allure of their symbols.

She wore this augmented plummet shawl on stage, which was custom-made for her by Christian Cowan!

"Each ostrich feather plume was individually hand dyed to the warm tone of her exact Haus Labs shade of foundation, and curled to achieve a more dimensional effect before being embroidered individually by hand to a crinoline base also custom dyed to be her exact warm tone- all done in-house by our New York Atelier"

One of Gaga's most stunning Vegas-worn headpieces to date is another one-off-one bespoke Arturo Rios! This time: gold lamé leather orchid bouquet with large crystals peeking out between the leaves and buds.

She finished off with her previously-worn Jimmy Choo Anouk metallic gold pointed-toe pumps!

The finale look of the show sees Gaga wearing a bespoke Topo Studio NY plush black silk velvet gown with attached tails to the wrists, embroidered with over 400 cosmic crystals.

The fun feather headpiece with crystallized cap was custom-made for her by Binata Millinery.

For this look she wore Jimmy Choo's Romy black patent leather pointed-toe pumps.

Jenny1950s Tulle and Lace Party DressWhile there are hundreds online to choose from, this just might be the perfect 1950s tulle and lace party dress. That red velvet ribbon seems to be screaming, Judy Garland in Meet Me in St Louis, which is exactly the aesthetic conjuring one so often hopes for this time of year.The Romantiquary1950s darling tiered tulle and lace party dressLillie Rubin One-Shoulder DressThe original Lillie Rubin boutique opened in 1946 in Miami Beach, Florida, with a second store opening in Palm Beach in 1955. The designer left behind a plethora of perfect party dresses (many well suited for warmer climates and therefor a great option for your California or Florida-based special occasions).Prada 2022 Midi Length DressYou can’t go wrong with this golden goose of a Prada dress from the 2022 capsule collection. Yes she’s the quintessential holiday dress, but just imagine her glistening in the sun with a pair of strappy sandals and a chic raffia tote on the coast of some European destination next summer.Vintage 1950s Velvet Hat and Cherry BroochThe perfect holiday hat comes in the form of this 1940s/50s black velvet accomplishment. While technically decorated with red cherries, after a few drinks they might just pass for mistletoe and aid in the orchestration of a kiss from that special someone. Bonus, it comes with a matching cherry brooch!Secret Eyes Onlyvintage 1950s velvet hat and cherry broochPrada DressWhile not stated on the listing, I can tell from the drape of the bodice that this piece originated from one of my favorite Prada collections, resort 2008. I wore look 1 from this collection on the red carpet of the Venice Film Festival, and let me tell you, it’s a show-stopper! It’s not a bad price for such a highly sought-after piece.Bernetti New York 1960s Hand-Beaded Two-Piece GownSomething about a 1960s “celery” silk satin dress tends to hit me at my fashion core. The best part of this Bernetti New York vintage stunner is the removable overcoat that adds just that extra amount of oomph. Style with a great pair of silver kitten heels.Bernetti New York1960s duchess silk hand-beaded two-piece gownBill Blass Vintage ’80s Evening BlouseAn incredible one-of-a-kind evening blouse by Bill Blass in a stunning tartan silk taffeta. With its statement-making power, I would pair this blouse with simple brown or black trousers and a chic pair of black velvet flats.Bill Blassvintage 80s silk taffeta evening blouseJohn Galliano Vintage Midi Length DressNo one makes a dress quite like John Galliano. The perfect classic shape in a stunning shade of rich scarlet. I would pair with simple diamond jewelry and a pair of matching scarlet or black pumps.John Gallianovintage midi length dressComme des Garçons Vintage Long DressThis 2003 Comme des Garcons wool tent dress is an incredibly versatile piece. You could wear it layered over a skirt, pants, or by itself. I highly recommend it as a statement layering piece you can reinvent for years to come.Bentley & Skinner Victorian Garnet and Diamond PendantA scene-stealing Victorian garnet and diamond heart shaped pendant/brooch that is absolutely to die for. In true Victorian style, there’s even a compartment for hair in the etched gold closed back setting.Bentley & SkinnerVictorian garnet and diamond pendantBill Blass 1970s Gown and Jacket EnsembleThis 1970s Bill Blass ensemble delivers a two-for-the-price-of-one convenience in the form of a smart bow-adorned jacket layered atop a chic black dress. Look to the 1990 film classic, Metropolitan for styling inspiration.Bill Blass1970s gown and jacket ensemblePrada 2022 Midi Length DressI’m still thinking of this piece almost three years after its runway debut. The perfect holiday dress in a stunning shade of red and the most beautifully crafted intricate lace floral. Between design and craft, this is a piece that will truly stand the test of time. I love the heels from this collection and would try to hunt down a pair to match.Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Vintage 1970s CapeWhat could be more fitting for a holiday get-together than a dramatic red Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche cape? Perfectly designed to equally show off whatever you choose to pair underneath, this piece is truly 10/10. I would style with a mini dress and a tall boot to let the volume of this incredible cape really shine.Suzy PeretteNew York vintage 1950's floral fit flare dressPrada Silk Feather Cuff Robe JacketWhile many a brand has tried its hand at chic boudoir wear, few execute it quite like Prada. I’m particularly a fan of their chic feather-trimmed, geometric printed pieces which seem to wonderfully combine elements of the traditionally feminine and masculine. Pair with a headpiece or fabulous earring and share with the world! Just think of the time you’ll save slipping into bed at the end of a night out. An equally great printed Prada pajama set here.Pradasilk paisley print feather cuff robe jacketStemware Cocktail GlassesWhile we could talk about dressing ourselves all day, what about the equally important holiday dressing of our homes? Don’t they deserve a little festive pick me up, too? You can find an endless amount of vintage stemware online—Etsy is particularly good for this.A Nous Montmartrestemware cocktail glassesAdolfo Vintage Fascinators HatAnother incredible way to make an impression among “the folks.” A hat like this proclaims, “Why, yes I moved to New York and I am killing it, thank you very much.” When it comes to vintage hats, I always prefer Adolfo, or Saks Fifth Ave, when available.Adolfovintage NY Paris Fascinators hatVictor Costa Vintage ’80s Party DressSpending the holidays somewhere tropical? Well then this is just what your suitcase is missing. A stunning dress from Victor Costa, king of vintage dresses with just the right amount of volume. The only thing missing is a flower strategically placed behind your ear, à la Marc Jacobs Spring 2011.Victor Costavintage 80s ruched floral party dressPendleton Vintage 1970s Two-Piece SuitFor those of us spending the Holidays in a cooler climate, you can’t go wrong with a vintage Pendleton set. This 1970s two-piece tartan skirt set is ideal for a festive get-together, but if you prefer pants, a great set is available here.Pendletonvintage 1970s two-piece tartan suitIssey Miyake Vintage Casual JacketOh how I hope and pray that this sends you down a spiral for vintage Issey Miyake jackets. If not I’ll have truly failed at my job. Oops, what’s this, a breadcrumb? I hope you find yourself significantly distracted for at least the next hour!Saint Laurent Rooster Feathers CollarPossibly the strangest thing I’ve ever linked. A vintage Yves Saint Laurent shawl made of rooster feathers, that’s right rooster. Sound the alarm! Perfect way to add a bit of flair to a simple little black dress.Jr. Flair by Sportlane Vintage 1950s Brocade Cocktail DressAt just over $100, a great price on this vintage 1950s Blue & Gold Metallic Floral Brocade Cocktail Dress. As far as vintage search terms go,“cocktail dress” is a wonderful gateway to beautiful mid-century finds.Jr. Flair by Sportlanevintage 1950s metallic floral brocade cocktail dressMaggy Boutique Vintage ’80s Party DressA fully ruched taffeta vintage 1980s dress is just about as good as it gets. For the styling of anything even remotely ’80s or ’90s, I always turn to the film Metropolitan for styling inspiration (think a single strand of pearls, pumps, and a pulled-back coiffure).Maggy Boutiquevintage 80s bow party dressWhen I first moved to New York in 2008, the coolest place to be after school was hanging out in the West Village, popping from one Marc Jacobs boutique to the next. My friends and I bought Marc Jacobs branded condoms and “stinky rat” keychains on our student budgets while dreaming of the designer clothes we couldn’t afford but studied diligently at school. It’s hard to imagine New York without Marc Jacobs, and this year marks 40 years of the designer’s namesake brand, launched just after graduating Parsons in 1984. To celebrate Jacobs’s incredible design legacy, this month I’ll be highlighting 26 fantastic vintage and second-hand pieces by my favorite New York designer.Marc Jacobs GownA stunning yellow Marc Jacobs Mustard gown in a luscious silk velvet with knot detailing at the center. An old Hollywood feel makes this dress a timeless staple. I would style her with a baby blue opera glove and pearls and why the hell not, a funny hat.Marc Jacobs Gilda BagA fantastic price on this Marc Jacobs ‘Gilda’ Fur and Sequins flap bag from the fall 2010 collection. I still remember seeing this bag brand spanking new on the floor of Saks in 2010 when I was a young fashion design student. It was rightfully padlocked to its display case and I remember swooning over it endlessly and here she is again! Fashion fate perhaps? Would look great with a simple white tee and jeans or dressed to the nines with a little grey skirt suit and dark boots.Stephen Jones Padded HeadbandFrom a season packed to the fuzzy brim with incredible headwear inspiration, comes this rare Marc Jacobs, Stephen Jones fall 2008 light green wool padded headband. This is a piece that says, “I have my style, and I couldn’t care less what you think about it!”Marc Jacobs Striped SkirtThis skirt makes up half of look 7 from the iconically striped and Edie Sedgwick-inspired spring 2013 collection (your only outstanding job will be to reunite it with its equally adorable matching jacket, as I’ve already found a great pair of striped shoes from this collection below).Louis Vuitton Rosebud Embellished DressThis is a difficult one to share. An incredibly tempting and rare Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton spring 2007 Runway dress (look 45 to be exact!) This pink rosebud embellished dress will have people stopping you in the street. Wear it layered over a white tank and ruffles as seen on the runway or dare to go bare!Marc Jacobsx Louis Vuitton rosebud embellished dressLouis Vuitton Crop JacketA fantastically designed Louis Vuitton jacket in beige cotton ramie with silver buttons and a striking black collar. This cropped jacket combines elements from every iteration of what a sensible jacket could be. Wear it effectively with a pair of black slacks or voluminous skirt.Stephen Sprouse Graffiti Pop Mini DressMarc Jacobs first collaborated with artist Stephen Sprouse on his spring 2001 collection (almost 25 years ago!) This neon green graffiti pop rose mini dress, marries everything that was great about Jacobs’ 16-year collaboration with Lous Vuitton. This unique dress is much less ubiquitous than the graffiti-printed bags which have never seemed to wane in popularity.Louis Vuittonx Stephen Sprouse Graffiti Pop Rose mini dressMarc Jacobs Glitter PumpsA wonderfully classic glitter pump capable of making Cinderella herself jealous. The pointed toe would look very smart paired with a grey wool circle skirt and your favorite Marc Jacobs Louis Vuitton era Speedy.Marc Jacobs Bow BlouseI love this stunning flocked swiss dot Marc Jacobs blouse, topped with a perfectly dramatic pussy bow. Consider pairing over your favorite pair of high-waisted jeans and a black pointed flat. Depending on your comfort level I would layer with a black bra or camisole.Perry Ellis Striped Strapless DressAn incredible Perry Ellis by Marc Jacobs striped strapless dress. The best part of this iconic piece has to be the pom-pom trim paired with that perfect stripe. I would keep the accessories classic with a black pump and clutch.Marc Jacobsx Perry Ellis striped strapless dressMarc Jacobs Mary JanesThe listing describes these Marc Jacobs Mary Janes as “witchiepoo” and I couldn’t agree more. Mary Jane silhouette with wonderfully exaggerated pointy toes. From the same collection as the striped skirt above (spring 2013) these are a classic Marc Jacobs piece that although eccentric, will never go out of style.Perry Ellis Checkered Silk SkirtA graphically minimal and enticing Perry Ellis by Marc Jacobs black and red checkered skirt with matching striped shawl from the Fall Winter 1989/90 collection. Do yourself a favor and take a look at the listing photography for some serious shawl styling inspiration.Marc Jacobsx Perry Ellis checkered silk skirtMarc Jacobs Striped Midi DressAt only $79 this vintage Marc Jacobs Striped dress is a classic stunner. The subtle A-line shape and complimentary tones make this piece incredibly timeless. For styling think Audrey Hepburn or Jackie O.Marc Jacobs Gem Sandal HeelsThe iconic gem-clad Marc Jacobs shoes! These have always been a personal favorite of mine, so much so that I even included a matching bag below. It would be perfectly balanced with a voluminous cropped pant or mini dress.Marc Jacobs Strapless DressA stunning strapless lace dress by Marc Jacobs with strategically placed pockets to give your hips that extra oomph! Consider wearing it with minimal makeup and accessories to give the dress (and you!) that extra chance to shine.Marc Jacobs Sequined Slip DressAlthough it comes with quite a hefty price tag, this Marc Jacobs spring 2008 deconstructed sequined slip dress 100% needed to be included. Hands down one of if not my absolute favorite Marc Jacobs collection. The entire show was a triumph in trompe-l’oeil.Marc Jacobs Trompe-L’oeil DressThe iconic look #21 from Marc Jacobs Fall Winter 2001 collection, famously worn by Winona Ryder to court after shoplifting from Saks Fifth Avenue on Wilshire Boulevard. An important part of early 2000s pop/fashion culture.Marc Jacobs Bow DressI’ve always had a sweet spot for this 1960s-inspired spring 2008 Marc by Marc Jacobs dress—a red version that was famously worn by Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl is available here.Marc Jacobs Polka Dot SweaterSometimes you just want to throw on a terry pullover and call it a day. I have to imagine this Marc Jacobs version has a unique ability to elevate the most uninspiring of afternoons. The entire F/W 2011 runway collection is an uplifting affair well worth a second study.Marc Jacobs Sketchbook Happy Face SweaterAh, the things you can find on Ebay! An incredibly rare and museum-worthy Marc Jacobs Sketchbook happy face sweater from 1985 (as the listing states, the yellow version is in the permanent collection of the Met Museum).Marc JacobsSketchbook Happy Face sweaterLouis Vuitton Floral Beaded NecklaceA potentially incredibly niche find, this Louis Vuitton floral bead necklace from spring 2007 is the sort of rare runway accessory that fashion fanatic dreams are made of. The styling on this collection was a 10/10 and I’d be so tempted to pair the baubles with flowers in my hair and a scarf around my neck à la Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle.Marc Jacobs Backwards Upside Down HeelsI love my Marc Jacobs spring 2008 Backwards Upside Down heels, but I’ve never seen this stunning pink version before. Fashion as a conversation starter is a wonderful way to navigate the world of dressing up and these shoes are simply top-tier.Marc JacobsBackwards Upside Down heelsMarc Jacobs SatchelWith a little TLC this bag could easily be brought back to its former glory. Originally from spring 2007, this is a bag I have often dreamt about. Look to its original collection for incredible styling ideas, such as a white button-up tucked into low-waisted pleated khakis.Marc Jacobs mid-length dressThe perfect little wool pink dress. Originally from fall 2020 (look #12), this Marc Jacobs collection was chock-full of fresh revivals on classic 1960s ideas. I would pair it with a kitten heel and a bandana over my hair, as seen on the runway.Marc Jacobs CoatThis Marc Jacobs wool coat has just the right amount of shape to it with those beautifully set in shoulders and ever so slightly nipped-in waist. A classic if there ever was one and in that perfect warm grey tone.Louis Vuitton Monogram Alma BagWhile I’m typically more passionate about clothes than archival bags, this 2008 Louis Vuitton Monogram Alma GM has a soft spot in my heart with that tantalizing combination of rich patent leather and deep shade of bordeaux.
