Timeless party dress from Morton Myles For Saks 5th Avenue.

As a designer, Myles embraced the Op Art movement in the 60s by mixing geometric fabrics with chic mini dress designs. This dress is a great example of his design style. If you look closely at the fabric you’ll see that it is very much geometric.

Myles’s became more of a house hold name after a young Jacqueline Kennedy was photographed in one of his designs.

Life sometimes makes it hard to post new items online! Now that my schedule is a little less hectic, I’m back on it! With that said, this vintage Kimono has just been added to my Etsy shop. It feels of silk and is truly beautiful. Wear it over jeans and a tank top. It’s the perfect way to cover up on cool summer nights.

Franco-American designer Pauline Trigère was a brilliant technician with exquisite taste. The daughter of a tailor and a dressmaker, she elevated the quality of American ready-to-wear during her long career. Trigère also had a great interest in interior decoration. Featured in popular magazines, both her Manhattan apartment and suburban home were balanced blends of neutral and bold colors, patterns, and antique and contemporary furnishings.

“Designing Women: Fashion Creators and Their Interiors” is on view through May 14, 2023 https://www.fitnyc.edu/museum/exhibitions/designing-women.php
