Fashion Blogs

Ok this is going to be an interesting and informative blog posting so hold on to your lipbalm and clutch your YSL bag tightly. I found these 2 really gorgeousand simplistic dresses inside the same thrift store and was loving theconstruction of both creations. The first dress I found was the brownfull length velvet gown by Unger-Mindel and I would swear on Eva Peron’sgrave that this velvet dress was brand new. Good thing I didn’t swearon Eva’s grave because I was so wrong. I wanted to know more about thislabel so I Googled it and it immediately takes you to Kay Unger’s siteand then a few other links are trademarks links that say that Kay Ungerowned the name. I still wanted more information so I called KayUnger’s office in NYC and talked to 2 young women that said no thiswasn’t their label and they both didn’t know anything about thisparticular label. So I continued to Google and finally I hit a linkthat said this: “Kay Unger is launching an evening wear division forspring. It’s called Unger-Mindel, reflecting her collaboration withWendy Mindel, who has been an assistant designer at the Kay Unger NYCdivision of Phoebe Co. Wholesale.” Then I looked at the date thearticle was published on the internet and it was October 15, 1996 andthe article was from WWD. So of course these 2 young women wouldn’thave known that and it’s obvious now that this brand isn’t inproduction. Getting back to me swearing that this dress was brand new Iwould honestly say it is. Who knows maybe this dress sat inside somewoman’s closet all these years before she donated it, or it waswarehoused someplace that finally liquidated it’s inventory… We willnever know but I am still claiming this is brand new… I can’t find anyinformation as to how long their collaboration lasted but I’m assumingnot very… The second is your classic LBD (little black dress) with a tonof STYLE and is by Max & Cleo. Max & Cleoisn’t a really big brand in fact their is no corporate website for thisbrand, but I just think this dress is loaded with wooden bullets(TrueBlood lingo)… This dress would retail at Nordstrom for about$125.00. Ok so I paid $7.00 for both dresses, yes you heard mecorrectly $7 for 2 very lovely dresses.
