I’ve never found a Donald Brooks before so finding a LBD is always the best place to start.  Donald Brooks was an early designer of American sportswear and one of the first to cross over from fashion to make clothes for the theater and movies.  His passion was always for the theater.   He was hand picked by the president of Lord & Taylor to design a collection for the store in the 1950′s.  In 1965 he started his own collection and was backed by the same man who financed Norman Norell, Oscar de la Renta, Halston & Geoffrey Beene.  His dresses & gowns are highly collectible.  I think I did pretty damn good on my first acquisition…..  I’m Daniel Troppy your luxury curator!
