Vintage Ossie Clark Celia birtwell dressPosted by MichealH Alexander on March 19th, 2020 Vintage Ossie Clark Celia birtwell dress Featuring a version of Celia Birtwell's tartan hearts print, we date this Ossie Clark for Radley dress to 1973, the same year Marisa Berenson was photographed by Norman Parkinson in a dress bearing the same print. It features an exaggerated dagger collar, bishop sleeves and a flared skirt, all hallmarks of Clark's signature feminine cut & tailoring. A rare & collectible piece, the shorter length makes this much more wearable than the maxi styles more commonly seen from the designer. Vintage Christian Lacroix Pouf dress An iconic dress from the S/S 1988 Luxe collection, this piece is a gorgeous example of Lacroix's extravagant aesthetic. Cut to create an hourglass figure, the bodice pushes up the breasts and cinches in the waist, while the full skirt flares out above the hips. Made from a thick textured cotton pique in red with white polka dots, this also features black grosgrain bows and a center front zip. Impeccably constructed inside and out with an amazing fully lined bustier bodice, a full built-in inner foundation and multiple layered crinoline underskirts with black lace trims, this is an exquiste and very collectible piece that will instantly transform its wearer into a knockout.
