Vintage Capes

From the Style file Blog:

Yesterday evening saw the opening of the Prada flagship store in San Francisco, an event that socials such as Vanessa Getty (pregnant but still working her Prada), Sloan Barnett, and Tatiana Sorokko all turned out for. Most dramatic outfit of the night award goes to Sorokko, who wore a pale pistachio green embroidered cape that paid homage to the label's distinctively hued walls.

This is a fabulous vintage cape. If you ever asked yourself - where would I wear a vintage cape and what would I wear it with - here is the answer - pair it with modern basics and then be prepared to be the girl who gets photo'd who is NOT wearing the designer label whose event you are at. Ahh the beauty of being the only girl in the room who is simply herself.

Bessi Bessi Bessi

Coming soon to Shrimpton Couture -
a most fabulous late 1970's Bessi that is in MINT, unworn condition!

What is a Bessi?

AVERARADO BESSI

The Averardo Bessi Company was founded in 1950. In 1968, the first collection was presented to the fashion world in the patterns and style of Averardo Bessi. "I started at a very early age, working in a fashion atelier. My objective was designing and creating clothing for women, as well as men" says the founder of his namesake fashion house.

A short time later; the stylist developed an idea to propose something truly special, his design for the print on the fabrics that later came to be the realization of his women's collection. Bessis prints are reminiscent of Emilio Pucci and he even signed his prints as well. Bessi and other Pucci impressionists are finding their own designs are finally reaching the price range and receiving the respect of their predecessor.

Swimsuits

Since we are in the middle of full blown summer I thought I would share these swim suits.

These are shots from the Chanel resort collection runway show that was held in South Beach a bit ago. I know they are over the top but I love them for their crazy ass seventies references.

The second is my absolute favorite but sadly I think I have too much girl bum to pull of boy bum shorts.

Wendy B's interview with me ...
By: Shrimpton Couture Blog    8 days 13 hours 6 minutes ago

Wendy B's interview with me on the weekend sparked a bit of a commotion over this lovely Paganne zip front dress. It is to be honest pretty spectacular! The fabric is a fine, Italian almost-a-knit but not quite - do you know the fabric I mean? I never know what to call that type of fabric - its a combination of silk knit or silk and wool knit but when you read wool you always think heavy fabric so I try to skit around that word unless it really is a heavy fabric.


It really was one of the best Pagannes I had ever seen. You see a lot of them in the more common, stretchy poly-knit. But to find one in this upgraded fabric is really something special. And then we found this one too in that same fabric:


Totally different look and feel but equally as spectacular. You guys are lucky my butt is just beyond the measurements of either of these dresses capacity because if they both fit they would be in my personal closet. Even with them being a titch too small they almost did not make it on the site. They are both perfect, the print is crisp and vibrant and they wear wonderfully. Paganne is quickly moving up the ranks for being a highly sought after collectible, and when you find pristine examples like these and in these types of fabrications - well you can see why.

You can find both of these available for sale at
Shrimpton Couture in the Designer & Couture Dress section.
