Donating this Chanel FW 99 beaded dress as a study piece to a fashion student or emerging designer that might find her helpful.

Era: Karl Lagerfeld FW99 . Tag reads 99A (A for automne), style P14087V07941, colour AE718, size 40FR, made in France. Black resin button w/ gold CC at back zip. Hand-set glass beads in two cuts. The reverse of the beadwork is sealed behind the silk lining,

Condition: Holes & tears in the fabric, along the sides & near the sleeves. Missing beading throughout. Potentially restorable, I’ve had five years & haven’t done it.

Collection: The collection was Karl at his grungiest, medieval even slightly feral. The models looked like Nico if Nico was more brooding if you can imagine. Very indicative of the end of the 90s . Worth studying for the beadwork & how that much glass hangs off mohair wool blend this fine.

I’ve decided that artifacts that sit in my archives for yrs needing restoration, I probs won’t get around to doing it. It’s hoarding rather than collecting. Best to pass along to someone that will give her the care & attention she deserves. Same fate as the Marc Bohan era Dior gown I previously donated as a study piece.

DM me if this piques your interest, w/ why you want this dress. Pickup from Surry Hills, or you can arrange shipping local or internationa

Donating this Christian Dior 1960s silk chiffon gown as a study piece to a fashion student or emerging designer that might find her helpful.

Provenance: Acquired from Brooklyn Museum at a deaccession auction in 2024. Paperwork can be provided.

Era: early 1960s Marc Bohan era, according to the museum & my own dating (tag format/typography supports this). There is a handwritten serial code on the interior bodice, but this was for internal atelier reference back then. Happy to send pics though.

Condition: Cooked. Shattered silk, several tears - not wearable IMO.

I’ve acquired several museum pieces over the yrs through low key auctions. However in this instance, I learnt the hard way that museum pieces - while historical important - are more focused on conservation than restoration. Makes total sense. Regardless, the bones are there for a fashion enthusiast that wants to study the construction of a Christian Dior couture gown from early 60s.

DM me if this piques your interest, w/ why you want this dress. Pickup from Surry Hills, or you can arrange shipping local or international.

what more can you say, a serviette is really nothing more than a simple napkin

I did the photographs for the launch of the new fragrance @serviette.nyc by @treytaylor -
immediately the motif of a napkin, or rather a “serviette” was the perfect foil for image ideation and development. I didnt bring this up verbatim in our meetings as it’s a bit crass but a napkin is really just a couple notches over toilet paper. but a Serviette (!!) now that’s a different story. say it in french. the word. the mix of high and low, humor and irreverence. “Good Taste” whatever that is these days. Grateful Trey thought of me to help realize this in pictures. And our team was second to none. Love this project to bits and pieces and excited to share w everyone over the course of a few posts

Four fragrances. Four moods. One singular return to good taste. Serviette’s debut collection is now available for pre-order. Link in bio.

Byronic Hero is a smoldering rosy oud, Frisson D’Hiver shines as a solar floral, Ruche bursts with raspberry green freshness, and Sour Diesel cuts through with wickedly tart geranium.

What’s your scent?
