……………….”THE LITTLE BLACK DRESS”……….I was hired by Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Holt Renfrew of Canada to do an exclusive collection for them that was named…..”DEI TRE” which translates from Italian to mean…..”OF THREE”………The collection had a variety of clothes that ranged from day to night…..The four dresses above were sketched for a Fall 1998 collection……They were all in silk velvet from a French company called “Soies de France”….They were known for their evening fabrics, and velvets was one of there specialties…..These dresses are combined with stretch chiffon for the godets, and for the top inserts…..The slip dress had diamante straps…..There is nothing like “a little black dress”.
Louis,
Would you ever consider selling an autographed copy of one of your sketches? They are iconic and would be a treasure to those of us who collect your clothes and jewelry.
NOT at this time…..they are the only things I have of my past designing life.
