Someone has been buying up all the haute couture listed on 1st Dibs. This makes me both curious (is it one person buying everything in sight, are there a handful of savvy stylists out there scouring the internet? Is some billionaire hoarding it all in a personal museum somewhere?) and very envious.
For example, I feel that I should have these:
 |
Balenciaga hat
And I quote: "Created by Cristobal Balenciaga for a New York lady who was a member of the International Best Dressed List this hat is simply stunning. Perched at a jaunty angle the hat is composed of overlapping sheer black petals with a padded flower head at the back." |

| Christian Dior haute couture black gown with cape, c.1973 |
 |
2-piece Givenchy bodysuit
"This Haute Couture Givenchy maxi-skirt in vibrant red broad tail with a black crochet bodysuit was custom made for Countess Claudia Osborne of Madrid. A perfect holiday party outfit!
Note: Givenchy label not intact but with a strong provenance as noted in the Preface of the book "Balenciaga and His Legacy" by Myra Walker".
Well, in that case.... |
