Stunning Haute Couture

With autumn's couture presentations just days away, Decades is pleased to announce the arrival of trunkloads of stunning vintage couture! Listed below are just two of our many new arrivals--check back daily to view exquisite finds from Chanel, Balmain, and more.

The first is a magnificent Givenchy Haute Couture silk chiffon gown with a wide tie in the back, adorned with petal cutouts. Though the gown dates back to the late 1970s, it demonstrates an effect that has been popularized in recent years by designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy for Rodarte. Fits a size 4. SOLD



Next is a Chanel Haute Couture creation by Karl Lagerfeld from the mid-1980s. The silk chiffon dress and jacket are sumptuously adorned with gold bugle beading; it's a timeless design from a house that stands as a pillar of class and sophistication in an ever more crowded field of throwaway fashion. Fits a size 4 to 6.

This Is Not Your Average Bandage Dress, Ladies...

While we love a good bandage dress as much as anyone, we're also intrigued by the contrasts that make this Herve Leger Couture gown a unique find. The top consists of Leger's signature bandage wrapping in a stunning circular shape, flowing out into a full-length skirt. It's a refreshing look for Leger! Fits a size 4.

Endlessly Chic Chanel!

The next two dresses illuminate every characteristic that makes us love Chanel so much. The first, a ready-to-wear piece from the 1980s, features drapes of knit jersey, satin lining, gold and black enamel buttons, and pockets (how revolutionary!). It's timeless and sophisticated and demonstrates an attention to detail that is all too often absent from the trend machine that is contemporary ready-to-wear. Fits a size 4.




Next, a sumptuous Chanel Haute Couture gown from the 1980s in delicate drapes of silk chiffon. These photographs fail to capture the exquisite beauty of the black and gold beaded embroidery and the custom Chanel coin buttons (featured in a different variety on the previous dress). This dress fits a contemporary size 4.
