In the spirit of the new Met Costume Institute exhibition: A closer look at some of the ‘Sleeping Beauties’ from our own archive, focusing on pieces spanning the 1800s-1930s. While we’ve got our fair share of beautiful florals or archival designer gems, we wanted to ::reawaken:: some of the earlier origins of fashion within our collection... The ones that are ‘far too fragile to ever be worn again’. Our archive has served as a design resource to the industry for over two decades, and some of the very same details you see here have inspired single pieces or entire collections produced during this time. Everything shown here is rental only, if you’re a designer looking for inspiration, inquire to make an appointment.✨ #vintage #antique #sleepingbeauties
