Made in Italy

Ciao Bella! This summer, vacation on the Amalfi Coast, or just dress as if you were there. Vintage Italian garments featuring bold prints, intricate embroidery, and exquisite tailoring are the perfect way to capture the spirit of luxury. The "Made in Italy" label denotes meticulous attention to detail, innovative use of high-quality materials, and often a zesty style that elevates a wardrobe to head-turning levels.

The mid-20th century, particularly the 1960s, is often considered the golden era of Italian fashion. The Swinging Sixties ushered in iconic Italian designers such as Pucci, Missoni, and Valentino. In the 1990s, brands like Armani, Versace, and Cavalli left indelible marks on the fashion world, creating easily identifiable pieces that are sought after by collectors and fashion enthusiasts.

At the VFG, we find that wearing Italian fashion is a celebration of fashion history and a delightful nod to Italy's flamboyant spirit.

I have niente currently for sale that was made in Italy, but I once had the pleasure of offering this 1950s beaded silk taffeta dress by Sorelle Fontana.
