Believe me it isn’t everyday that I find a brand new St John dress but the fact that its a classic LBD raises the bar even higher… I was blown away when I plucked this St Johnblack knit dress from the compounds of a thrift store and when I saw that it was brand new not only was I blown away but I was in a self induced coma. In order to stretch her own limited wardrobe budget, Marie St John made her 1st pure wool knit dress on a flatbed knitting machine in 1962. Her then fiance and salesman Bob Gray pitched her designs to department stores and got an order for 84 dresses on his 1st try. St. JohnKnits took off quickly, appealing mostly to a clientele of mature career women who preferred a classic look. Today not only are mature women wearing this brand but it’s all the rage among young women and I think its due to the fact that Karen Elson became the face of St. John. The thing I love about St John is you can totally modernize any piece from this brand with a simple clutch, belt & especially heels take these powerful Proenza Schouler heels for instance.
