The beauty of vintage...

The beauty of vintage is that it is has a history, but it can be worn in a new way, the star component of a very fashion forward style sense. Vintage dealers like me crave these timeless pieces of beauty and curate collections that span decades and merge trends.

The best of fashion, the most seductive materials, the exceptional details, the perfect dart and the most exquisite buttons, vintage is easy, sexy sophistication: the woman you can’t take your eyes off at a party whose amazing stories of her past match her fabulous charmeuse dress or killer crocodile heels. She's definitely the one you’ll remember the next morning when you’re recuperating from the bubbly.

Original BOB MACKIE Theatrical Opera Costume





Our newest item on 1st Dibs is an original BOB MACKIE theatrical costume from the 1998 San Francisco Opera Production of "Lulu." Mackie was born on the west coast and spent his prolific career designing for some of America's most fabulous performers, including Cher, Judy Garland, Diana Ross, Liza Minnelli, and Tina Turner. He is also known for designing costumes for the late Whitney Houston. This particular dress explains why he is often called "The Sultan of Sequins" and the "Rajah of Rhinestones."



Plus, who can forget these Mackie designs from the Academy Awards!
