There has been a lot of talk about Charles James as of late since the Costume Institute exhibition honoring this amazing couturier has just opened. It made me think of a quote of Christian Dior about James: “the greatest talent of my generation." Now this dress is neither James or Dior. However it is a custom couture dress from I. Magnin and very influenced by both iconic designers. It's a LBD that's hardly little. It's voluminous, architectural, iconic, and timeless. It's an example of the power of a LBD. How would you style this?
I. Magnin & Co. black satin gown, dated December 1956. Modern size 6-8.
