Vintage Inspirations: Set in Motion:

Shall we dance? Dance and movement will forever be an unlimited source of inspiration to designers and fashion alike, and this week movement takes center stage. Having the ability to convey mood and emotion, fluidity and breath—clothing with movement transcends and elevates.
Grand jeté in flowing caftans, Isadora Duncan-esque chiffon scarves and tunics, waterfall trains, and meandering abstract prints. Pirouette in diaphanous gauzy fabrics worthy of a Sylph, entrée in dramatic gowns à la grande dame Martha Graham.

A late 30s/early 40s taffeta party dress in progressive sunset colors with a tiered skirt that flows into more than a full circle


This 70s crystal pleated long column dress/nightgown by Lanvin flows enhances the body curves, but also flows


A good swing coat can have great flow! This black satin swing jacket has dramatic sleeves - it dates to the 40s.
