Documented 1976 Christian Dior Silk Chiffon Dress Set designer-ceil-chapman The holy grail of vintage

The holy grail of vintage - a gown that has never been worn and still has its original store tags attached

Its is that typical wide and loose shape from the eighties - meant to be paired with a fitted piece underneath so the contrast is stark

Utterly fabulous and rare dated 1960 custom day outfit that looks classically 1950s from Saks Fifth Avenue

The belt is a twisted pewter toned snake that is completely covered with inset green rhinestones

Documented 1976 Christian Dior Silk Chiffon Dress Set designer-ceil-chapman The holy grail of vintageThis set was photoed for L'Officiel in 1976 where it was shown with a red cape. What is particularly interesting is that I acquired this several years ago and the seller bought it from a model who was often paid in the clothes that she wore. It is interesting to think that this may be the very same set that you see in the editorial photo. The set is gorgeous and consists of a top that can be worn as a top or layered as a light jacket and a long skirt
