TIMELESS STYLE
Struck me how these dresses are decades apart and still timeless. A beautiful 100% Silk, Proenza Schouler shift dress. What caught my attention aside from the amazing heavier silk material was the pattern. I found the same collection dress from Neiman Marcus and the pattern was described as “Marble”. To me it looks like the creation of a galaxy… a dark background with magnificent color bursts. Doing research on the brand Proenza Schouler, from their website, I discovered a New York based womenswear and accessory brand founded in 2002. The design team consists of Jack McCullough and Lazaro Hernandez who met at none other than Project Runway’s show locale, Parsons school of design. The name hails from each designers Mom’s maiden name. Their first collection was their thesis….the label was snatched up by Barney’s. The rest is history…
Going back to decades old clothing in pristine condition… This gem of a find is a vintage dress from USA manufacturer RiteFit Dresses. I was able to date this dress to approximately 1955 thanks to SammyDVintage for providing Union Label information on her website.
