VPOD: Vintage Pierre Balmain Evening Gown


vintage pierre balmain evening gown

I’m about halfway through Steven Martin’s latest novel, An Object of Beauty, which chronicles the business of fine art collecting and the people behind the game. (And if you’re wondering, yes, it’s the same Steve Martin that you remember from SNL and that you think of as “just a wild and crazy guy.”)

an object of beauty by steve martinThe protagonist in his story is Lacey Yeager, an ambitious young woman pursuing a career amid the art world. And I was struck by some advice given to her by her boss at Sotheby’s. Lacey is told:

“You don’t have to sell paintings. All you have to do is a put a good picture in front of a knowledgable collector and stand back.”

And certainly this is true among vintage collectors, too. It is easy for them to recognize “objects of beauty” like today’s VPOD.

This vintage Pierre Balmain gown would be beautiful with just the seed-beaded bodice and the chiffon skirt but it’s elevated to higher heights with the addition of its ruffled tulle overlay.

What an exquisite find for a collecting vintage fashionista!
