Shiny Things Make Us Happy

Shiny things are popular again. There's something alluring about a great lurex dress that's beyond our ability to explain--it's almost like dangling a tin foil toy before the curious paws of a kitten. The first dress, Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche from the 1980s, is channeling a Krystle Carrington vibe (in a good way) with a strong shoulder and vibrant color. We're grasping for a pop culture reference that's appropriate for the Jean Louis Scherrer metallic shirt-dress pictured below... Batwoman, perhaps? It's definitely larger than life with a plunging neckline, accordion pleats, and a popped collar.

Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Cerulean Satin Dress with Deep V-Neck, c. Late 1980s. Marked size 36; fits a contemporary size 4 to 6. SOLD


Jean Louis Scherer Silver Lurex Shirt-Dress with Accordion Pleats, c. 1980s. Marked size 38; fits a contemporary size 6. SOLD
