Not only do you look to certain decades for certain moods, but you look to different countries for attitude. If you want that Laugh-In thing going on, like a go-go dancer gone straight in the 60s, you want Paris - you want Courreges. If you want edgy, sort of intellectual and young, you gravitate toward California-resident Rudi Gernreich. The Babe Paley fan club will always want Midweatern Norell and the slinky young babes on all sorts of wonderful druge and fabulous ethnic jewelry will head for Ossie Clark and the young British designers. Definitely not for a 50-year-old woman, this Louis Laring printed cotton voile coat with matching hot pants is meant to capture your youth at its dewy best. Spend a whole month's salary on having your portrait taken. Get a hip photographer, hire a stylist and wear some killer vintage outfit so you can have an image of you that is pure fantasy. Paired with very high Dolce and Gabbana patent platforms in lime green, slick those legs down with body oil and smile for the camera. Olive brown with deep green Art Nouveau leaves and white dogwood blossoms, it fastens at the scooped neck with a bow but has a small button placket underneath to hold the fitted waistband closed. Fitted upper arms, the elbows widen into full balloon sleeves to the wrist. And the sexy but flattering high-waisted hot pants zip in the back so you have tight hips and a nice smooth tummy. All we'd add is a bandeau in yellow made of silk by your local tailor to cover the breasts and really go the for skin thing - it's fantastic. Bust up to 34", shoulder to shoulder 14", outer sleeve 22" and length 44". Crepe-lined shorts have a 25" waist. 34" hips and are 13" long from waist to hem. Made in London, both are in excellent condition. $360.00 |
