BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL

"Men don't dare" said famously french designer Paul-Louis Orrier. He only designed for women because "they are fun and can never overdo it". Color blocking is really hot right now, it has come back with a bang, loud and unapologetic much like this dress. It is very difficult to combine these bright colors on your own but this dress has done that for you. From the deep magenta to the bright emerald green this color palette is sure to compliment your new tan. Be bold in color, unafraid and dare to wear ....everything that puts you and those around you in a festive good mood!

We are still having a BLASS moment

We have always loved American fashion at Decades and this Bill Blass III may not be from his top-of-line collection, but it's certainly top-of-line when it comes to style. A sexy halter cocktail dress in red crepe chiffon with a flamenco tiered skirt. Spruce it up with a wide belt, big hoops, and strappy sandals. A perfect dress for the spring and summer months.

Tracy Mills Colors of the Rainbow

I confess, I have no knowledge of Tracy Mills other than she designed evening and cocktail dresses in the 1980s. I do know that this rainbow iridescent strapless dress with swag front in pretty fantastic. If anyone knows about Tracy Mills, keep me informed, in the meanwhile, if you are looking for a futuristic and sexy dress, but this one. It's a contemporary size 6.

Update on Tracy Mills from a nice person who was a friend of Tracy and sent us this email:

Tracy was a he. His atelier was in NYC. It is my understanding that he died of AIDS related complications sometime in the early 1980’s. He was a dear friend of dear friends of ours, also sadly, victims of that same dreadful scourge. He designed high end frocks for socialites and stars. I have had the pleasure of having worn some of Tracy’s show stopping designs.
