Norma Kamali turns on the violet

Calling all Curves! We love a good Norma Kamali ruched dress. It brings out a women's curves and her dresses are so light and perfect for travel and wrinkle-free. Seriously, you can wrap this up in a ball and throw it in the bottom of your roller bag, take an over-night flight to Nice, pop onto a helicopter to Monte Carlo, and squeeze your booty into this sexy number. Come the witching hour and you will have every high roller placing their bets with a distracted eye because of the impression you will make.

Easy breezy black and white Herve Leger

Here are two Herve Leger Paris classic stretch dresses. The first is a black tank dress. The second, an unusual white ribbed halter.

These Herve dresses fly out of here, so pick up the phone or email us ASAP if either of these are screaming your name.

Givenchy not for Audrey

One thinks of Hubert de Givenchy and the immediate association is a perfectly chic little black dress and the ideal muse, the incomprable Audrey Hepburn. But Givenchy was going strong in the 1980s and adopted to his client's wishes for more boisterous options, like these two colorful cocktail options below. Both are Givenchy Haute Couture and ready for a lover of color and a little attention...well maybe a lot of attention!

Super Sexy Chloe

This dress isn't the sort of thing that usually comes to mind when talking about Chloé, but that's why we love it so. It's jeweled and sexy with a disco twist, while the pleated skirt and knee-length hem suggest an intellectual sensibility. Fits a contemporary size 4. SOLD

Chloé Black Wool Crepe Dress with Jeweled Straps and Belt, c. 1970s SOLD

Unorthodox Eighties

We are grasping for words to adequately describe the... er... kookiness of this Isabel Canovas purse from the 1980s. It melds influences ranging from Greek mythology (the glorious Bacchus clasp) to modern commercial-grade construction (the unmistakeable "traffic cone orange" color of the woven base) for an over-the-top effect. Dimensions are 10¼" x 7½".
