As one of the world’s premier dealers of haute couture, we have handled dozens of Yves Saint Laurent couture gowns and are confident in attributing this to the designer.

The fabric at the reverse of the dress secured at the neck with hook and eye fastenings then falls open to the waist. There is a concealed zip fastening from the centre waist to line of the thigh. The skirt is lined in an additional layer of silk crepe.

These Chinese skirt styles or mamianqun are often called aprons and are typically comprised of two identical sections, this one having an elaborate embroidered decorated panel on pink silk, a white brocade side panel and a honeycomb pleated or gored panel. Only Han women wore these skirts, not the Manchu women of the ruling Qing dynasty. They were worn overlapping, wrapped around the body and secured through fabric loops and knotted buttons. The two sections are attached to a wide plain waistband, most likely made of cotton or hemp. On formal occasions, Han women wore a half-length jacket accompanied by trousers and paired with a panel skirt or apron. Panels were only embroidered to where the jacket reached the skirt and Han working women often wore trousers without skirts, as did unmarried women. We’ve attached a hand-coloured photograph to show how the garment would have been worn – circa 1900. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe embroidered panels and contracting trims depict flowers, fruits, and butterflies all of which represent auspicious symbols and good luck charms. The flowers represent every season: the lotus in summer, the chrysanthemum in autumn, the plum in winter, and the peony in spring. The butterfly was known as the Chinese Cupid. The birds depicted include the crane, a symbol of longevity; the pheasant, a symbol of wealth and good wishes; and mandarin ducks, a symbol of marital happiness. This is a very beautiful and elaborate example which was almost certainly made for a bride in the latter part of the Qing Dynasty. Condition is absolutely extraordinary, and it has been very carefully preserved. Both panels are remarkably fresh and without damage, thinning or any age markings.

The ensemble is actually made up of two completely separate dresses which could each be worn alone.  The inner dress is cut from a lightweight silk crepe in coral red which has a V-neck and gentle sloping cap sleeves. The front is pleated at the waistband and flows down beautifully into a long straight skirt with a front kick pleat.  It fastens down the back with the original concealed zipper and is lined in a high quality colour matching viscose. Although stunning when worn by itself, this piece really comes into its own with the addition of the outer dress, which is adorned with a fabulous coral red ostrich feather trim. This dress is made of a mesh like, semi transparent georgette fabric and cut in a trapeze style with kimono sleeves and great flow and movement.

He chose the name Jean Varon in order to appear to be French and also because it meant he was the only designer under the letter 'V' in the rag trade book. In 1965, he designed outfits in Op Art prints for Diana Rigg for her role as Emma Peel in The Avengers. John Bates, along with Ossie Clark, Gina Fratini and Bill Gibb, pioneered a romantic and dramatic mood in fashion in the early 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS\u003cbr\u003eBust - 44 in.

It has a lovely soft purple rayon lining and four fabric colour buttons running down the front, with a classic pointed collar. The skirt has a 1.5-inch-wide plum purple waistband with the fabric gathered around the waist to create volume, and the inside is lined with a fine silk organza.

It was look 42 and walked the runway for the colourful finale presentation. The collection was titled \"Irere\" and took its lead from the people and animals of the Amazon rainforest. Lee was a master of story telling on the catwalk and the show had three distinct concepts presented as a narrative sequence: shipwrecked pirates, menacing conquistadors, and the final phase drew on the culture of the indigenous peoples of the Amazon and the colourful plumage of the Macaw tropical birds. This digitised 'Bird-of-Paradise' print became a brand signature and was designed by Jonathan Saunders and Christopher Pearson. It was resurrected five years later across multiple looks for McQueen's Spring 2008 show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis incredibly detailed gown is crafted with multiple layers of patterned silk-chiffon atop a vibrant azure-blue cotton lining. Designed to look like a bird of paradise, the sleeves float behind the wearer like wings and plumes of cloth appear to spout from the top of the skirt. The bustier top features the ingenious boning and corsetry that the designer was known for and the swirling skirt is lined with beige crepe. A hidden blue zip secures it at the rear. This famously documented dress is in excellent condition, still with its original tags attached - the perfect addition to the archive of an Alexander McQueen collector. Extremely rare to market, it is worthy of museum acquisition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Italy the composition label states that this piece is woven from 95% Silk, 5% Cotton, and the lining is composed from the same. It is labelled an Italian 46, UK 14, but the measurements are not generous for this size and it appears the dress has been altered and made bigger vertically along the zip opening at the back. This was purchased by a high profile client and as it has been done to such a high standard, its possible that it was done by McQueen seamstresses in-house. It is virtually impossible to tell the dress has been altered without looking inside. Our couture trained seamstress has looked this over and it is reversible should you want to return it to the original size. Our model is a UK 8-10 and 5ft 11in (180cm) and the dress was pinned on her as it was slightly roomy around the torso. We believe the present measurements suggest a good fit for sizes UK 12-14 or US 8-10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBUST - 38 in.

Created during John Galliano’s heyday at the helm of this inimitable fashion house, this deep red silk gown showcases many of his design hallmarks. Often cited by fashion historians as the moment that the fashion catwalks reached peak beauty, pieces that walked the runway during Galliano’s 15 year reign at Dior are incredibly sought-after at this time by museums, archivists and fashion lovers alike. The flowing skirt is compiled from frothy layers of maroon silk that cascade around the body - tailored in the flattering, bias-cut way that is recognisably Galliano, a true study of the female form. Galliano’s well honed eye-for-detail is evident from the side-of-hip fastening which closes with tonal fabric-covered buttons and fabric loops. This adaptable dress has a separate maroon silk slip and comes with an elegant silk scarf finished with a white embroidered “Dior” logo. This memorable event piece is highly feminine and romantic; as Galliano himself stated, \"my role is to seduce\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is in excellent vintage condition with no flaws or marks.

Cut from smooth silk, it is printed with glittering gold and champagne-hued Art Nouveau patterns on a black background.

Rife with symbolism representing Bacchus, the Roman god of agriculture, wine and fertility, signs of revelry abounded throughout the runway show. Floral prints and damp-hued fabrics were sabotaged with grass stains and red wine spillage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ensemble is an iconic piece of Vivienne Westwood trophy vintage and would be a great addition to the archive of any collector of this label. Made in Italy, both pieces are tailored from coated linen with a stiff, waterproof effect and a canvas-like handle. The print is taken from an Elizabethan wallpaper design. Rendered in a deep aubergine purple, it shows winding, interlaced vines and fantastical florals. Faded burgundy stains smatter the pale ecru background of the cloth, as though the wearer has spilled glass-upon-glass of red wine whilst dancing. The jacket is tailored to a long length with a nipped-in waist. The cropped panel at the back recalls riding jackets - tailored to fit around a saddle. It has a single wide lapel and in-seam pockets at the front. The jacket fastens with three gold buttons engraved with Vivienne Westwood’s instantly-recognisable Orb logo. The trousers are cut to an extra-long length and are gathered in an erratic manner at the bottom hems so that they pool at the floor around the feet in the deconstructed way that is the brand’s trademark. The waist is narrow and is secured with a hidden white zip and a logo-engraved gold button. There are slip pockets in the side seams and all of the stitching is in pale pink cotton.
