FIRE WORKS BY JUDITH LEIBER

Here are two Judith Leiber evening bags with crystal clasps and optional gold link straps that could light up a 4th of July Firework's sky with all their gorgeous Swarovski crystals. Both are approximately 7 x 6 inches and from the 1980s. Ah, the decadent 80s...we loved em!

Endlessly Chic Chanel!

The next two dresses illuminate every characteristic that makes us love Chanel so much. The first, a ready-to-wear piece from the 1980s, features drapes of knit jersey, satin lining, gold and black enamel buttons, and pockets (how revolutionary!). It's timeless and sophisticated and demonstrates an attention to detail that is all too often absent from the trend machine that is contemporary ready-to-wear. Fits a size 4.




Next, a sumptuous Chanel Haute Couture gown from the 1980s in delicate drapes of silk chiffon. These photographs fail to capture the exquisite beauty of the black and gold beaded embroidery and the custom Chanel coin buttons (featured in a different variety on the previous dress). This dress fits a contemporary size 4.

Bill Blass Fringe Dress

Going for a look that's both stately and sexy? Look no further than this black velvet dress from Bill Blass. The fringed hem and body-hugging silhouette are timelessly chic while long sleeves and modest neckline make it appropriate for a formal event. Fits a contemporary size 4 to 6.

Yves Saint Laurent Bolero

This delicious Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche bolero is a study in contrasts: made from velvet-soft suede, it's etched with metallic snakeskin geometric patterns and piped with creamy calfskin leather. The photographs really don't do it justice. It's marked size 38, and is rather narrow through the shoulders.

ERYKAH BADU WE LOVE YOU

We love Erykah Badu and she rocked the house tonight at the BET Awards in a tribute to Diana Ross. Singing "Sweetest Hangover," Badu started her performance in a metallic trimmed with organza collar vintage 70s Giorgio Sant'Angelo kimono coat and then removed it to reveal the early 80s YSL black chiffon cocoon top we featured a few days ago on the blog. Not only is she a gorgeous woman with distinctive style, but her talent as a singer (and songwriter) makes us extra proud to call her a Decades client. Welcome to the Decades family, Erykah!

GIDDY UP

From the same fashionable woman from whom we received the Medor belt, please find a Western-flavor Hermes tan belt with gold buckle that would make great sense with a pair of Leddy's cowboy boots and Wranglers or a pair of jodhpurs on the polo fields on Argentina.

Hermes tan leather belt with gold Western motif buckle 33" long lie flat, for a 27 - 30 inch waist.

Malcolm Starr Graphic Print Dress

Graphic prints continue to be a must-have for Fall 2007. This abstract black and white Malcolm Starr day dress in polished cotton provides an edgy but entirely wearable print and features a playful, oversize bow at the waist. The dress is marked size 8, but is probably closer to a contemporary size 6.

Crazy for Karl!

No no, not that one...

Yes, that one.

Whether it's his high-flying designs for Chanel from the 1980s or the whimsical looks crafted for Chloe in the 1970s, we can never quite get our fill of the fashion diety Karl Lagerfeld. That's why we were tickled to stumble upon this outrageous piece from his eponymous collection--a rarity in the vintage world. The silver mirrored applique on the bust would make Barbarella green with envy. Can you imagine a sexier dress? Fits a size four, but features a generous bust.

PIERRE CARDIN HAUTE COUTURE 60S AND 80S

A lot of people think that Pierre Cardin's output was primarily 60s mod dresses with bull's eye motifs and vinyl trench coats. He's had a much broader output as these two Haute Couture examples showcase. The first, is an early 80s Tahitian print one shoulder sensually draped cocktail dress. The other a 60s aubergine dress light crepe dress which fool's the eye to thinking it's two pieces, when in reality its a dress with a surprising deep plunge back.

A DEPENDABLE MEDOR

J'adore le Medor...The famous dog collar belt will never go out of style and in this great tan neutral color you will find a myriad of ways to wear it during every season. It's been stamped from 1991 and is marked as 74cm, but in inches it's a total of 34" at full length which means when you wear it will fit around a 32" and smaller waist depending on which slot with which you lock it.

PETA FRIENDLY LEIBER BAGS AT LAST!

Here are two satin evening bags from Judith Leiber circa the early 80s. I know we've pushing the exotics, but it's nice to offer something that Pamela Anderson could carry. The black purse below is particularly cool, since you can use the tab shown at the bottom center to open up the lower secret comparment, like the Hermes Sac Malette.

THE LIL-EST LEIBER EVER

You may ask "What's the point" of these teeny-weenie little nautilus shell Leiber in a shade of aqua. It won't fit a phone, or a lipstick, it will fit a few quarters, a handle of altoids, and maybe a origami-like folded Benjamin, but that's about it. It's nice to have around your neck, but don't dance with it unless you want to cause whiplash to someone on the dance floor! It's a nice "objet" to have in the house, on the coffee table, for example.

If you're a Leiber collector, you don't need any justification, do you?
