Claire,

Just to clarify your earlier statement, is this Haute Couture? That helps to narrow the field.

 

[claireshaeffer]

Yes, it is. No it isn't Westwood.

 

[Rue_de_la_Paix]

Thanks Claire, as you did say it was "couture" but I think that fact got lost in the replies. Just wanted to clarify that what you meant was indeed Haute Couture.

And I still think it looks more F.L. Wright than Mondrian, to me. Interesting dress.

 

[Rue_de_la_Paix]

Oh, and my last guess for now. Is it Chloe? I only guess that as it is atypical for that house.
Which, by the way, was another good clue you gave, Claire.

Does the winner get a prize? :sunshine:

 

[claireshaeffer]

Yes, I can arrange a prize. How about a contribution to VFG in your honor? C

Carolina Herrera? Emanuel Ungaro?

No, Mary Jane.

You have really stumped up with this one, Claire!

Geoffrey Beene?

 

[MissRita]

Since you said it's not typical of this designer Claire, could it be Thierry Mugler or Azzedine Alaia? Trying to think of big designers in the 80s!

 

[claireshaeffer]

Mary Jane, try to think like I do. What do I consider couture? Let's add haute to that.

I'm trying, Claire, I am trying!!!

Chanel?

 

[poppysvintageclothing]

Chanel has been already guessed, Debra....mmm...curious!

Givenchy?

 

[Rue_de_la_Paix]

Yes, you get to graduate to grade 2.

Excuse me?

Oh, I just meant that I feel like I am back in grade school with this thread. No one knows and no one is really giving a well-thought out explanation so everyone is guessing and asking the teacher if we are right.

Maybe whomever gets it right can have a gold star?

EDIT. My last guess is Alexander McQueen. It's the tassels on the underside of the cuff.

Talk about grade school... Be sure to show your work children!

How about this is just a fun thread that doesn't need to be compared to children in grade school. If you feel that way you dont have to play.
