You already know I’m a sucker for vintage so when I saw this blue 80′s vintage William Pearson dress in the thrift store, well lets just say I had to salvage it. William Pearson began his career in fashion in 1951 when he studied under Norman Norell. He began his own label sometime in the late 1950s. His couture business was based in Los Angeles. About 1967, Pearson moved to Paris where he let the city inspire him. He traveled back to Los Angeles twice a year to present his collections. A self described classicist, Pearson favored conservative looks that flattered his customers. I believe he died in the late 80′s making this label very collectible and desirable. To give this 80′s vintage dress that modern feel I would put my client in these cutout sandals by Stella McCartney because these 2 brands make a lovely union… Be STYLISH go green. Daniel your luxury curator!
