Yves Saint Laurent French ( born Algeria) 1936-2008
Cocktail Dress , Fall/Winter 1959-60
Designed for Christian Dior , Paris, founded 1946
Silk taffeta
Yves Saint Laurent showed this dress in July 1959 as part of his bombshell collection dubbed the “new, new look” (in comparison to the famous New Look that Christian Dior debuted in 1947). He made skirts a focal point—and the shortest in Paris (to the knee or just above). This one is made of four bands of doubled ruffles with fringed edges. The torso is swathed diagonally in taffeta that is tacked to the underdress over a layer of organza, giving the dress what Vogue magazine praised as a “light, supple young look.” Perhaps not surprising, since Saint Laurent—already the house of Dior’s designer for two years—was just twenty-three years old.

Cristóbal Balenciaga Spanish (active Spain and France), 1895-1972
Cocktail Dress , Winter 1958
Silk machine-made lace over silk chiffon backed by silk plain weave, rayon satin ribbon
Cristóbal Balenciaga’s “baby-doll” dresses of 1957 and 1958 illustrate his experiments with abstraction and exaggeration of form. A see-through lace dress swings from the shoulders, revealing a slim sheath beneath. The loose overdress, slightly shorter in front, is held away from the body by deep, layered ruffles around the bottom. To ensure the ruffles spring outward, they are tightly gathered and supported underneath by stiff gathered net and openwork bands of nylon horsehair.

The Majorelle Garden (Arabic: حديقة ماجوريل) is a botanical garden in Marrakech, Morocco. It was designed by the expatriate French artist Jacques Majorelle (1886-1962)[1] in 1924, during the colonial period when Morocco was a protectorate of France. Though Majorelle's gentlemanly orientalist watercolors are largely forgotten today (many are preserved in the villa's collection) the garden he created is his creative masterpiece. The special shade of bold cobalt blue which he used extensively in the garden and its buildings is named after him, bleu Majorelle.
The garden has been open to the public since 1947. Since 1980 the garden has been owned by Yves Saint-Laurent and Pierre Bergé. After Yves Saint Laurent died in 2008 his ashes were scattered in the Majorelle Garden.[2]
The garden also houses the Islamic Art Museum of Marrakech, whose collection includes North African textiles from Saint-Laurent's personal collection as well as ceramics, jewelry, and paintings by Majorelle.
The garden hosts more than 15 bird species, which can be found only in the area of North Africa.

Paco Rabanne, French Born Spain 1934 –
Dress , 1966
Rhodoid cellulose acetate plastic, metal
Paco Rabanne used innovative, offbeat materials made possible by 1960s technology to dispense with needles, seams, and fasteners. This dress, made of hundreds of lightweight silver and black plastic disks linked by metal rings, is so revealing that it was worn over a body stocking. It comes from Rabanne’s first collection, which he titled Twelve Unwearable Dresses in Contemporary Materials.

Norman Norell American, 1900 – 1972
Evening Dress 1967-70
Metallized plastic sequins, silver-lined glass bugle beads and rhinestones on silk; acetate satin ribbon.
“In the evening you have to knock ‘em dad with glitter,” proclaimed Norman Norell. His philosophy is evident in his most famous creations, form-fitting sequined dresses that came to be called “mermaid dresses”. Each sequin was sewn to the silk fabric by hand, taking up to 250 hours per dress. The countless variants include this example, which alternates overlapping gold sequins with silver-lined bugle beads in vertical rows and wrists adorned with rhinestones.

Todd Oldham American 1961 –
“Mirror” Evening Dress Fall 1992
Metallic thread embroidery and silver plastic seuins on silk/acrylic plain weave
Fashion, it’s sometimes said, is the mirror of history. In this dress, Todd Oldham turns a mirror into fashion, surrounding a shiny expanse of silver sequins with a scrollwork frame in heavy gold embroidery. Oldham’s eclectic and sometimes whimsical designs reflect his wide-ranging interests, such as art history, film and interior design; his bedroom mirror inspired this dress.

Geoffrey Beene American, 1927 – 2004
“Mercury” Evening Dress Fall/Winter 1994-95
Metallic/acrylic Lamé velvet
A feeling of ease is always present in Geoffrey Beene’s innovative designs, which range from the simply elegant to the subtle witty. Using fabric and color in inventive, unusual, and often unexpected ways, his cleanly cut designs glorify the female form. In this dress, the panne velvet spills over the body’s contours like liquid silver, while the designer’s signature side cutouts and bare back expose the body.

Hubert de Givenchy French, 1927 – 2018
Evening Dress , Fall 1982
Plastic Sequins on Lurex/cotton knit, nylon tulle, silk satin rib bon
Hubert de Givenchy’s refined style shines through in this haute couture evening dress. A glittering column of sequins is tempered by two layers of black tulle over the skirt, while layers of voluminous tulle reffles expand and soften the silhouette. Prized for their elegance, beauty of line, and exquisite workmanship, Givenchy’s clothes preserve the great traditions of French couture.

Yves Saint Laurent French ( born Algeria) 1936-2008
Evening Dress , Fall/Winter 1966-67
Plastic sequins on sheer silk plain weave over rayon taffeta
Yves Saint Laurent presented this dress with his tenth haute couture collection for his own label. The thirty-year-old designer was said to speak for the moment with his “here today, gone tomorrow, young, amused” approach to fashion. Embroidery by the luxury studio Lanel creates a silver pyramid of space-age modernity from three kinds of silver plastic sequins: Large diamonds, medium-sized parallelograms, and smaller circular faceted sequins.

Vicky Tiel American ( active Paris) 1943 –
Evening Dress 1989
Metallic/acrylic twill lame
Vicky Tiel developed her signature style of draping and construction to glorify the female body. Here wavy folds of shiny gold are contoured around the figure from the low, stapless neckline—her favorite—to the abbreviated leg-baring hem of this dress. Each fold is tacked toa supportive underdress that has been constructed with boning to enhance the bust while diminishing waist and hips. This dress like all of Tiel’s, exudes glamour, sensuality, and strength.

8 inch square cake carved into the Chanel handbag, 8 & 11 inch squares for the bottom two tiers.
The brief was for her favourite handbag but because they are good friends and neighbours I did an extra 2 tiers to acommodate all her other favourites. Ed Hardy for the clothes and Jimmy Choo for the shoes.
Everything is edible. The credit cards and money had her name, birthdate and age on them.
She refused to cut it at the party!
My favourite perfume!. It's got such a warming and golden smell. I love it! I noticed how the bottle caught the lights this evening....it also feels very Christmassy!

Evening Dress, Autumn/Winter 2004-5
Chinese Semiformal Robe
Qing Dynasty, c18th
Taken in the 'China: Through the Looking Glass' exhibition (May-September 2015).
This exhibition explores the impact of Chinese aesthetics on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. In this collaboration between The Costume Institute and the Department of Asian Art, high fashion is juxtaposed with Chinese costumes, paintings, porcelains, and other art, including films, to reveal enchanting reflections of Chinese imagery.
From the earliest period of European contact with China in the sixteenth century, the West has been enchanted with enigmatic objects and imagery from the East, providing inspiration for fashion designers from Paul Poiret to Yves Saint Laurent, whose fashions are infused at every turn with romance, nostalgia, and make-believe. Through the looking glass of fashion, designers conjoin disparate stylistic references into a pastiche of Chinese aesthetic and cultural traditions.
The exhibition features more than 140 examples of haute couture and avant-garde ready-to-wear alongside Chinese art. Filmic representations of China are incorporated throughout to reveal how our visions of China are framed by narratives that draw upon popular culture, and also to recognize the importance of cinema as a medium through which to understand the richness of Chinese history.
