Description
1990's does the 1490's in this absolutely gorgeous red wine velvet blouse and skirt set made with impeccable design, fabrication, and tailoring. Can be worn as a set or separates. The set is composed of a midi length skirt with a side slit and gathered waist, and striking long sleeve blouse. The blouse features a high neckline, structured mild puff shoulders with fitted fore arm including long velvet button-up cuffs, and a keyhole closure on the back of the neck. The blouse has a beautiful pointed hemline that adds to the luxurious reinterpreted renaissace-like quality of the piece.

1960s Donald Brooks Black Cocktail Dress with Riviera Rhinestone Neckline
$925.00
AHHHH! Donald Brooks does it again with this little black dress with a whole lot of character!
The dress is knee length, with long sleeves, and a plunging bowl neckline. The dress has an empire - like waist with stitching cutting across the bust for added structure. The back of the dress features a playful sweater - like closure with five large buttons. The neckline is adorned by an amazing chain of oversized rhinestones, giving it the appearance of a riviera necklace. The rhinestone chain is heavy, and shimmers brilliantly!
Donald Brooks had an extensive career in commercial fashion and costume design, his commercial work was dramatic and sensational, taking cues from his costume designs. He first worked for Townley Frocks in 1959, replacing the late, great Claire McCardell, before opening his own company in 1964. He later created a boutique line in 1971, and then closed his business entirely in 1973. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s Brooks designed under different manufacturing firms, in 1986 he created an evening wear line, and in 1990 he became a consultant at Ann Taylor.
Brooks also designed for stage and screen, and received Oscar nominations for best costume design in “The Cardinal” (1963), “Star!” (1968), and “Darling Lili” (1970).
