This thirties bias cut silk crepe gown is beautiful

it is hard to capture just how wonderful it is

This little Azzedine Alaia piece that is from one of his more recent collections

The bodice is crossed and scooped low and each shoulder cut wide to give it a real fifties flare and feel - a theme that often runs through Miuccia's work

1980s Patrick Kelly Leopard Print Sleeping Blanket Coat designer-paco-rabanne Beverly JohnsonKelly only designed for a 5 year time period but his designs still have an impact now. His early death at the age of 35 was a true loss and one has to wonder what greatness would have lay ahead of him had he had the chance to continue perfecting his craft. I love when I find his pieces and this coat is rather exceptional. He threw a leopard print into several of his collections and it became a bit of a signature. This coat is a fabulous piece whose
