1970s Galanos Black and Plum Toga Dress

did you say kick some ass One bad thing about not being a dead designer, you cannot reach legend status until you're too late to enjoy it. Halston? Legend. Yves Saint Laurent? Legend. James Galanos? Get on it girls because this very much alive man should be walking on strewn rose petals at all times. Vintage Galanos is every bit as masterful and gorgeous as Norell or old-school Beene but can go sexy in a heartbeat while still being tasteful. A black and plum silk jersey gown that hangs from the right shoulder in the slinkiest column of elongating color. Channel-quilted at the neckline, the gathered waist is circled in a black and plum leather belt. Understated, slinky and hot - this is the best of Galanos. Also bearing a Bonwit Teller label, the bust measures 34", waist up to 28" and length 61". Excellent condition. $2250.00
