1960s Mr. Blackwell Custom Purple Velvet Evening Dress
Sold Out
Understated custom Mr. Blackwell. Okay, perhaps it is impossible as the color and "bling" belies our assertion. However, in the 1950's and 1960'S Mr. Blackwell was at times understated and even modest. This gorgeous gown sits design on the cusp -- immediately preceding the transformation to the designer whose pieces make a statement. Yet, here both the standard material, the fit, and the cut (including the full length sleeves) pays homage to his once modest designs. Beautiful Purple velvet dress by Richard Blackwell. Embellished sleeves with iridescent rhinestones glamorize the shoulder. Square neckline frames the decolletage and has a bust strap that hooks at back. Zips at back.

Born Richard Sylvan Selzer to a poor second generation Jewish Russian Family in Brooklyn, Richard Blackwell had a very difficult childhood. He saw a way out of poverty and abuse in 1936, after he was cast as Tommy, in the 1936 production of Sidney Kingsley’s “Dead End.” Blackwell moved to the West Coast and studied acting alongside Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney, and began working as a messenger at Warner Bros. studio in Burbank, California. Blackwell was signed to RKO Pictures by Howard Hughes, changing his name from “Richard Selzer” to the more widely marketable “Richard Blackwell”. In 1958, after discovering his talent for design while making commissioned costumes for the stage, Blackwell turned to fashion. Upon the launch of his clothing line, Richard Blackwell adopted the Mr. Blackwell name, which corresponded to the luxurious tone set by his “House of Blackwell” label. Blackwell specialized in elegant, formfitting dresses in stylish prints and luxurious fabrics, which often sold for between $800 and $1,000. Blackwell was the first designer to offer a line available to plus-sized women, and was also the first designer to present his work on a television broadcast. Blackwell also claimed he was the first designer to offer designer jeans for women.
Shortly after producing his label, Blackwell’s success skyrocketed, and he quickly became known for his beautiful designs and discerning eye. Blackwell had become an authority on taste, and in 1960 was asked to write an article for the American Weekly Magazine detailing the "10 Best and Worst Dressed" people. Blackwell’s quick wit, sharp tongue, and acerbic comments, found a permanent, loving home in fashion journalism, and Blackwell established himself as America’s number 1, and most beloved fashion critic, establishing the first ever annual “Worst-Dressed List.” The list ran from 1960s up until Blackwell’s death in 2008.

1960s Paganne Blue and Orange Geometric Graphic Knit Dress
Sold Out
Bold, almost color blocked midi dress by Paganne. The long sleeved dress, with jewel neckline, falls below the knee, with a loose, knit, sheath silhouette that skims the body. The print is primarily grey and blue, with accents of black and pops of bright red. The print is almost machine like, with a great amount of geometric symmetry. The various graphic squares and patches appear to be sewn together, with oversized threads and eyelets. Curious and captivating!
The Paganne label was created by Gene Berk in the 1960s. Berk studied to become a lawyer but found himself working in the fashion industry, merchandising for menswear, and at one point creating sportswear for Oleg Cassini. In the late 1960s Berk struck out on his own, and sent hand sketched designs to Italy so that they could be screen printed onto fabric. He was the American answer to the various French and Italian designers (Pucci, Lanvin, Leonard, and Bessi)who prized bold, graphic prints.
Berk would begin his creative process by designing the print first, and then deciding how it would be formed into a garment; often times the fabric would be used for various pieces. His prints were varied - botanical, geometric, modernist, figural - but all had the same 1960s/1970s bold flair, printed onto silk jersey, cotton knits, velvets, and Qiana nylon synthetics.

1960s Roberta di Camerino Amber Reptile Cut Velvet Handbag
Sold Out
Roberta di Camerino was the queen of trompe l'oeil, and if you need proof you need not look any further than this gorgeous amber tone velvet reptile handbag! This a - frame top handle purse is swathed in shimmering amber - gold cut velvet reptile fabric featuring a faux flap with the famous Roberta "R". Both sides of the purse feature the same design, although one has the "R" in reverse - a playful indication of which side is the front. The purse also features four gold tone dangling belted "R" charms, two hanging from each side of the purse. The interior of the purse is lined in brown leather and features two pockets.
Giuliana Camerino (née Coen) was born to a Jewish family in Venice. In 1943, as World War ii raged on, the Camerinos fled to Switzerland where Giuliana began designing handbags for local leather goods stores. Camerino founded the house “Roberta di Camerino” in 1945. The business was named after the 1935 Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers film “Roberta”; The song “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” was the last tune Camerino listened to before escaping to Switzerland.
Roberta di Camerino handbags quickly became known for their innovative use of patterned and colored fabric, two materials that had never been used in handbags. Camerino continued to develop new and interesting designs that would go on to inspire others, including using an “R”-trellis pattern in 1946 that predated Gucci’s iconic “G” pattern handbags and accessories, a the woven leather handbag in 1957 that anticipated the Bottega Veneta woven look, and a hinged handbag that Prada later went on to imitate. Camerino helped develop the post-WW2 venetian economy, employing venetian craftsmen to create many materials, including the brass hardware she used in her striking, cut-velvet bags, and to weave fabric using local antique looms. Camerino branched out into apparel; much of her clothing had distinctive optical illusion tromp l’oeil prints, pleats, buckles, and ruffles.
Camerino’s pieces were favored as a status symbol among the jet set crowd as well as celebrities, including Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, and Farrah Fawcett. Her innovative designs in playful and exciting fabrics earned Camerino several accolades.
