DOES FASHION PUZZLE YOU?

Do you ever watch a fashion show with a look utter bewilderment on your face as if trying to solve the most complicated of puzzles?  Well do I have the dress for you!  Originally owned by a soap star who dated someone very rock 'n roll in her youth, this dress was purchased on a shopping spree to Paris.  The actress can't remember where she bought it and there's no label.  Certainly in the style of Paco Rabanne, the dress is an actual puzzle.  I would discourage from you taking this dress entirely apart unless you have a ton of time on your hand and aren't in a rush to jump onto a red carpet.  Rather, wear this when you really want to celebrate the Art of Fashion.  It's black and white and absolutely fabulous.

GET LUCKY IN GREEN GALANOS


Although today we should be feeling the luck of the Irish, I am feeling Byzantine looking at this fifty shade of green James Galanos 1960s evening gown with elaborate gilt and pearl drop embellishment throughout the top.  The fabric of the dress is silk chiffon with various stripe shades of green, lurex, and a touch of unexpected magenta that coordinates with the velvet sash.  This may not be a design by Irish createurs Sybil Connolly or Louise Kennedy, but great Greek Mr. Galanos knows that a g green gown will bring on the envy!
