1960s Rudy Gernreich Knitwear High Contrast Mini Dress Ensemble - Iconic
$4,000.00
This same ensemble is found in a number of museum collections including the FIDM archive (of which a photograph is included). Striking 1960s Rudy Gernreich for Harmon Knitwear dress and sweater set. The playful ensemble consists of a solid black long sleeve pullover sweater with princess seams, accent belt, solid white round flat collar, and short red bow. The dress underneath the sweater is short sleeved, with a jewel collar, and a bell - like silhouette with a skirt flaring from the bust. The bold colors play off of each other, and in unison create an eye-popping ensemble that works as a perfect example of the avante garde, innovate, adventurous designs Rudi Gernreich was known for!
Born in Vienna, Austria, Rudolf “Rudi” Gernreich developed his love for high fashion from his aunt, Hedwig Müller, who owned a dress shop. At the age of eight, after his father -a stocking manufacturer who had served in World War I- committed suicide, Gernreich began spending more time at his aunt’s shop, learning about fabrics, the dress trade, and sketching her designs for the Viennese elite. After having seen his sketches, Austrian designer Ladislaus Zcettel offered a 12-year-old Gernreich a fashion apprenticeship in London, but his mother, Elisabeth, refused as Gernreich was still very young.
In 1938 Gernreich and his mother immigrated to Los Angeles as Jewish refugees fleeing the German Anschluss. Life was difficult, and for a time the family subsisted on pastries Elizabeth baked and Rudi sold door to door. Gernreich’s first job was preparing cadavers for autopsy; although the job was grim, Gernreich claimed it gave him an opportunity to study anatomy, “I do smile sometimes when people tell me my clothes are so body-conscious I must have studied anatomy. You bet I studied anatomy.”
Inspired by modern dancer Martha Graham, Gernreich joined the Leslie Horton Modern Dance Troupe from 1942 to 1948. Dance provided Gernreich with an understanding of motion and how clothing moved with the body. Gernreich became a costume designer, eventually becoming a freelance designer. Gernreich worked for dress manufacturers in California and New York, where he was expected to base his designs off of the already-popular “New Look.” Gernreich subverted expectations of a feminine nipped-waist look when he presented his avant grade, mod designs. Gernreich established his own company in 1960, and also began designing dramatic ready-to-wear sportswear and casual knitwear pieces for Harmon Knitwear
Although high-end, Gernreich created works that were youthful and fun, showcasing his strong understanding of shape, color, form, and the human body. His designs sought to liberate the female form from structured fashion, and to challenge reigning beauty and gender norms. Gernreich spearheaded the mod minidress movement, and among his most scandalous designs are bathing suits with cutouts, topless nightgowns and dresses, thong bikinis, body decals, dresses with vinyl cutouts, and androgynous pantsuits. Gernreich also designed the iconic “monokini” and the “no-bra” bra that was the antithesis of the structured bras that dominated the 1960s, lead the “Total Look” movement that involved a fully-matching outfit, including shoes, coat, hat, and undergarments, all in optical art inspired prints, and produced a conceptual collection in 1970, featuring reveling yet utilitarian unisex clothing that was meant to represent Gernreich’s vision of the future of fashion. Gernreich even produced the clothing in the very first fashion video, “Basic Black: William Claxton w/ Peggy Moffitt.”
In 1967, Time magazine declared Gernreich to be “the most way-out, far-ahead designer in the U.S,” and with his innovative, experimental, adventurous designs, it would be difficult to deny that Rudi Gernreich was a designer ahead of his time.

This classic Trigere is the epitome of a classic yet cozy ensemble -but with a Sherlock Holmes twist. The rich pattern of this ensemble makes such a statement, we don't recommend sitting this one out! Wonderful wool coat features five functioning buttons as well as a collar that drapes over the shoulders. Coat features holes for arms, but instead of an actual sleeve, it turns into a cape! Skirt features invisible zipper as well as two hook and eye closures and a snap. Both coat and skirt are approximately ankle length. Perfect for the colder months. Wear either as a set or individually. Jacket is fully lined.

1980s Geoffrey Beene Patterned Wool Black Knit Ensemble w/ Pom Pom Scarf
$1,100.00
Designer ensemble from Geoffrey Beene featuring a long wool knit printed dress with floral motifs & silk matelasse bodice. The beautifully quilted bolero has faux front pockets and star buttons and is lined in printed silk. The eight inch hem is quilted adding weight and form. On top of everything it comes with a belt/scarf made of the same fabric as the bodice with large pom poms. This ensemble is a wonderful addition to your fall and winter wardrobe!
Geoffrey Beene began his career in the 1950s, designing under numerous New York houses including Teal Traina, finally opening his own label in 1963. Beene was incredibly conscious of the human body, and was particularly regardful of the figure in motion - as Beene once said “clothing is nothing until it hits the body." His designs were created to work with the client’s body, encasing it lightly and giving it a more artful structure. Beene's reinterpretations of dress formality, use of synthetics, and unusual combination of materials (accessories in acrylic and diamonds, for example), set him aside from his contemporaries who focused on the business of fashion, rather than the artistry of fashion
