Red Carpet-Ready in Azzaro!

We unearthed this Azzaro bustier gown during our last trounce through Paris, and we have to say it's pretty spectacular. It's an iconic design pioneered by Loris Azzaro in the 1970s, and it's been knocked off countless times (most famously by Valentino). We think you should have the original, in beatiful violet blue.

Azzaro Violet Blue Strapless Bustier Gown in Jersey with Keyholes, c. late 1970s. Fits a contemporary size 4 to 6. BOLD

Emmys Countdown Begins with Loris Azzaro!

Ladies (and gentlemen?), start your engines! You have exactly 30 days to find the most dazzling Emmys gown in town. It's a daunting task, one that celebrities are only able to handle with an army of stylists at their sides. LA's fashion-savvy women have a secret weapon in their arsenal, though--it's Decades, the vintage couture boutique!

All this month, we'll be profiling gorgeous gowns appropriate for your red carpet arrival. The first two come from Loris Azzaro, a perennial favorite with the Decades set. The first is a slinky and seductive black jersey halter dress which plunges in the front as well as the back. It's trimmed with jeweled stones arranged to look like a ribbon (how adorable!). For the woman who wants the same look but with a splash of color, we present another Azzaro halter, this one in purple jersey with an intricately embroidered Grecian halter collar.


Loris Azzaro Gathered Black Jersey Halter Gown with Jeweled Border and Bow, c. late 1970s. Fits a contemporary size 6 to 8.

Loris Azzaro Purple Jersey Gown with Ruched Bodice and Ornately Embroidered Halter Collar, c. late 1970s. Fits a contemporary size 6.

As delectable as these vintage evening gowns are, we'd be remiss if we didn't encourage you to saunter on down to Neiman Marcus and check out the contemporary Azzaro collection by Vanessa Seward as well. Ms. Seward scours the house's archives for inspiration, turning up eveningwear so beautiful that Mr. Azzaro himself would be proud!
