Living in a Zandra Moment, Part 1

Posted on 2:22 PM by feeqwfqewef
For twenty years, Zandra Rhodes' feathery, Bohemian-influenced dresses were some of the fashion world's best-kept secrets--the superior fabrication, design, and unique prints made both vintage and contemporary pieces highly collectable. But when the New York Times is singing your praises, as they did in this very excellent piece last month, word tends to get around.


Decades just received a trunkload of zany Zandra's best work, and we're sharing it with you this week in two huge posts! The blue deep V-neck kimono pictured below is ornately beaded and decorated in pink and mocha tribal elements, but it's the satin cumberbund that really wows us. For a louder Zandra statement, you might like the day dress beneath it--this time, in darker blue, the print really dominates the dress in vivid black and fern. Looking for something simple and understated? The third dress in our installment is a simple and chic nymph dress, similar in style to this dress posted last month.


Zandra Rhodes Aquamarine Beaded Chiffon Kimono with Mocha and Pink Pattern, c. 1970s. Fits a contemporary size 4. SOLD

Zandra Rhodes Cobalt Blue Beaded Chiffon Day Dress with Wild Black and Fern Print, c. 1970s. Fits a contemporary size 4 to 6.


Zandra Rhodes Aquamarine Chiffon Nymph Dress with Draped Back, c. 1970s. Fits a contemporary size 4 to 6.

Living In A Zandra Moment, Part 2

Posted on 5:00 PM by feeqwfqewef
Here's Part 2 of our Zandra Rhodes collection! The first item, a sky blue and seafoam day dress, features a long train that doubles back and ties around the waist with an oversized marigold satin ribbon. It's also ornately beaded at the seams and adorned with a tribal pattern. The second dress certainly constitutes a descent from the traditional Zandra Rhodes fare--it's strapless party dress with optional halter neck! Check out the ornamental tassels and beaded applique, it's pretty nifty. Finally, a whimsical long sleeve white country dress with vivid rose and amaranth detail that's perfect for any age.

Hervé Alert!

Posted on 4:33 PM by feeqwfqewef
Hervé Leger is hotter than ever, and Decades has two spectacular dresses to satisfy that fix! The first, a beatiful V-neck viscose evening dress, features a sporty twist with bandaging across the back. The second is truly sexy, though, combining black floral lace with Leger's signature viscose. We're truly scouring the globe to bring you these collectible dresses, but we can't keep them in stock!

Hervé Leger Black Viscose Evening Dress with V-Neck and Back, c. early 1990s SOLD

100,000 Hits!

Posted on 11:43 AM by feeqwfqewef
This week marked a very special moment for the Decades blog... after 14 months, we've already received an incredible 100,000 hits! Many thanks to our clients from around the world for continuing to support Decades.

To celebrate this occasion, we're adding two more items to our Hermès "Luxe-a-Roll." This bowling bag-style purse with a hideaway compartment at the base carries on the Hermès legacy of handbags large enough to hold nation-states, with just enough room for makeup compact to boot. We're wild about the color combo, a chic ochre/navy. SOLD


If, for some reason, you don't need to carry a full half of your earthly possessions with you at a given moment, Hermès also presents you with this fashionable suede clutch in slate. The ornamental "H" hardware is set on a wood button closure.

Hermès Ochre and Navy Leather Bowling Bag-Style Purse with Compartment, c. 1980s

Christina and Jada Rock Looks from Decades

Posted on 11:56 AM by feeqwfqewef
As much fun as the Emmys were, the red carpet just keeps getting safer and safer... after awhile, the most you can muster is a yawn! Not so with the next two Hollywood glamour girls. First up is indie darling Christina Ricci, seen sporting a new 'do in a white Hervé Leger bandage dress at a recent event in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, actress Jada Pinkett-Smith stole the pre-show at "The Kingdom" premiere in a fuchsia Yves Saint Laurent tuxedo ensemble, c. 1980s. Jada's a perennial favorite here, and she pulls off this brilliant piece effortlessly (Fashion Week Daily agrees). Both gals found their sexy digs at Decades!
