Vintage Couture Dresses - 1971

1971 was a schizophrenic year in fashion. From minis to maxis and kooky to sophisticated, it seemed every designer had their own idea of what women should be wearing. Here, looks from the haute couture for Spring 1971. Would you wear any of these today? Which one is your favorite?

Fun Fashion - 1969

On Friday, I asked my Facebook fans what they'd like to see on the blog this week. Monique wanted to see something fun from the late 60s. How about these Paris couture showstoppers from the spring of 1969? Fun indeed! Thank you for the inspiration, Monique!

Pierre Cardin Plays with Purple - 1967

Pierre Cardin used lots of bright colors in his collections for 1967. Since purple is my favorite color, these stood out for me. What do you think? Above, a pleated tent dress in an oversize floral print.

Linen mini dress with clever cut-outs.

Evening gown completely covered in sequins worn with purple suede boots.

And my all-time favorite coat EVER! Giant purple polka dots on white wool with purple-dyed fox fur hem. I want this coat. I want this coat. I want this coat.
