Good evening, I would like to provide some details on this label. It corresponds to the ready-to-wear line "S de Schiaparelli", the only collection of which, to my knowledge, dates from 1984. And was not at all created by Serge Lepage.

Does this information apply to this label?
 
White and black “Dalmatian” pattern 1980s(?)
“Genetic” branded short sleeve button down shirt

I can find no information about this brand online and my searches for other examples from this brand have turned up dry. I have no idea if it was actually produced in the 1980s however it most closely fits the style of the 80s so that’s my best guess. I acquired this shirt from my school’s theatre department while they were downsizing their costume collection so I have no idea where it originally came from. I suspect it may have been a sample or pre production design because the only tag it has besides the main one is small and looks to have had a code hand stamped onto it with no other details.

Thank you for your submission.

I have a 40s jacket in my personal wardrobe with a Juilliard label, and was inspired by @ShabbyKathy 's post about hers to see what I could find out. My best recollection from seeing vintage magazine ads over the years was that Juilliard was the maker of the fabric, not the garment, similar to Forstmann.

Quick & dirty photo of my jacket - I believe it is earlier than Kathy's


My label


And the bio I wrote based on my digging, hopefully not TMI:

Augustus D. Juilliard is best remembered as the millionaire music lover and philanthropist whose death in 1919 led to the founding of the Juilliard School of Music in New York City. But he was the son of immigrants, and in his 30s, worked in the garment industry in NYC for a textile manufacturer with mills in Fulton, New York. When they went bankrupt in 1874, he bought what remained of the company, and started A.D, Juilliard & Co, making high end woolens, as well as importing and distributing other textiles. Juilliard Woolen Mills expanded elsewhere in New York State during the panic of 1893, with the purchase of another bankrupt mill in Stottville. Juilliard Woolens did well through the first half of the 20th century. Their registered trademark was “Fine fabrics are the foundation of fashion”, and garments made with their fabrics were sold at high end department stores including Bonwit Teller, Frederick & Nelson, Lord & Taylor, and J.W. Robinson. The fabrics were also available by the yard to home sewers. Juilliard Woolens went out of business in 1953, and the mills were shut down, at a time when the textile industry was foundering in the northeastern US.

Thank you, Maggie!
 
Because both of our labels address the Wool content, it would make perfect sense that it is referring to the fabric. Thank you for your insight and knowledge!

Ian Thomas circa 1969-72 couture maxi dress

We don't have a page for Ian Thomas, he was a dressmaker to Queen Elizabeth II for over 20 years, having been awarded a Royal Warrant in 1973. I've drafted something about him, if it's of any help.

Ian Thomas (24 Sep 1929 - 2 Jun 1993), was born in Middle Barton, Oxfordshire, England. He studied fashion at Oxford College of Art and, after graduating in 1952, joined Norman Hartnell, where he worked on Queen Elizabeth II's coronation robes. Ian was assistant designer to Norman Hartnell for 17 years, before leaving to set up his own couture business in Lowndes Street, Belgravia in 1969 (the business subsequently moved to Motcomb Street, which was just around the corner). He dressed many members of the royal family, most notably Queen Elizabeth II, who awarded him a Royal Warrant as dressmaker in 1973. He continued to design clothes for the Queen for over 20 years, until his early death, aged 63.
