VPOD HI/LO: Code Red for Fall


vintage 1970s zandra rhodes evening shrug vintage 1950s cashmere embroidered sweater

Two different looks. Two very different price tags.

Can you guess which item is 4x more expensive? (Almost $600 vs $150?)

Fashion’s calling a Code Red this fall and I just want to remind everyone that you can incorporate this blazing trend—or any trend for that matter—with vintage pieces at all different price points.(Of course, this assumes you want to follow a trend in the first place.)

One of these lovely pieces bears the label of a famous fashion designer. The other has a label that may be familiar to die-hard vintage fashionistas but certainly isn’t a household name.

Yet they both pack a powerful style punch in very different ways.

Confused? Still not sure of the HI and the LO? The answer is buried in the small print below.

But either one is a fabulous choice for a Vintage Crusader!

Both available at Vintage Couture.

VPOD: Vintage 1990s Donna Karan Cashmere Evening Gown


vintage 1990s donna karan cashmere evening gown

I’ve always been a huge Donna Karan fan and her philosophy to dress in only the highest quality items that make you utterly happy. Here is a woman who understands women and the many roles we play as mothers, friends, lovers, businesspeople and more, and who always manages to express that intimate understanding in her clothing designs.

Now, Donna Karan has taken on an even more important role with her passion project, The Urban Zen Foundation. It’s mission? “To raise awareness and inspire change in the areas of well-being, preserving culture and empowering children.”

As if I needed any more reasons to fall in love with Donna Karan and her designs! Like today’s VPOD, for instance.

This vintage 1990s cashmere evening gown is a rare piece designed by Maeve Carr for Donna Karan. First, the good news. It was previously owned and worn by Barbra Streisand! Now, the bad news. It has two small moth holes that will need to be mended.

Such a small price to pay for a Donna Karan-lovin’ vintage fashionista!

Available at Antique Dress. | Discovered at TheFind.com.
