I remember the witty youngster who brought CdG to Maiden Lane, in the basement of the old Saks, with its own vestibule entry on the street. Scion of one of the city's shipping fortunes, coming downtown to open a store no one had yet heard of. I negotiated his lease, for less than 50 cents a square foot. There was a wire strung beneath the sprinkler system, and a half dozen daubs of textiles suspended from wire hangers. Everyone understood it immediately.
I had this same skirt at RARE vintage but in black and now I am completely desperate that we sold it! But the jacket! That is too amazing! The hunt is ON!

Reminds me of Cecil Beaton's self image in costume with Hand appliqués everywhere including his head.
