Norell was all about sophistication. You won't see a woman in Norell kneeling over weeds in the garden - you can expect Norell to inspire more genteel behavior in even the most uncouth of women. In fact, Norell is so polished that it should be part of all drug treatment in female methamphetamine addicts. One day, she's got a blow torch, glass pipe and acid wash jeans and the next she is clean and sober with her Norell ensemble and Roger Vivier heels. Norell is champagne. A chaffeur-driven Rolls. An evening in a open-only-for-you Bergdorf Goodman. Norell doesn't say 'fuck' and it doesn't talk with food in its mouth. Can you imagine Normal Norell dealing with the way women dress these days? If he could give back his Coty award simply because Rudi Genreich had also won, citing "it no longer has any meaning", the sight of a thong peeking over super low rise jeans would have done him in on the spot. And while Norell may have taken back his remark two years later, we bet it was more of a political move and not what he really believed. Is there room for Gernreich and Norell in the same closet? Of course there is but for the polished evening out, Norell will always win, hands down. A gorgeous black wool crepe evening dress with an Empire waist and an asymmetrical satin waistband that ties in a flat bow. A deep deep black satin hem gathers in big waves. Gorgeous - very Norell. Lovely with Chanel black slingbacks with pilgrim buckle and a clutch made entirely of black crystals. Bust measures 36", waist 26" and length 53". Excelent, if not flawless, condition. sold |
