The Story of Galanos Part I

I always say, when the tough get going, you should get going to your local Decades Inc and pick up some swinging 60s fun to cheer you up on a gloomy day. Sure America, land of plenty, is only host to one Decades Inc. outpost, but its right here in the city we love most Los Angeles. Who else loves LA? James Galanos.

Having made this city his home in 1951, a decade later he was certainly enjoying the shorter hemlines when he designed this 60s tweed dress with accompanying jacket. A contemporary narrow size 4, it has an embroidered crystal hem. The amazing collar detail which can be seen in the second photo is terrific craftmanship and adds a little spunk to the sparkle.



Here you can see the mini-dress with the jacket worn over it and see how the layered effect allows for both the collar and the hemline to still speak for themselves. Just a fantastic combo from a man who's clothing was as gorgeous on the inside as it was on the outside.
