I keep having to lift my jaw off the ground on this piece. I mean literally lift it off the ground. This vintage Geoffrey Beene 60′s red halter top pleated gown is a show stopper if I ever seen one. I mean this is something you can easily picture Monroe wearing to dazzle her audience… It’s just stunning. I love pleats especially on a gown! This is a piece I wish I saw more young Hollywood movie stars wear because it’s gorgeous and chic. Geoffrey Beene really does go down as one of America’s most treasured fashion designers and that’s why I wish I saw more young actresses wearing vintage. You see one actress out of 1,000 wearing vintage and that’s because today when an actress wears a designer gown everyone makes $$$, the magazines, the designer etc etc… I guess there isn’t enough money to be made off of wearing vintage today. Everything today is so corporate especially fashion. IT’S ALL ONE BIG CORPORATION just ask the owner of LVMH….. I don’t know but if I were a young actress in Hollywood the last thing I would be wearing is a gown that was manufactured at least 1,000…. Where is the appeal in that??? I’m Daniel Troppy your luxury vintage curator!
