Marguerite Duras' autoboigraphical novel The Lover is a favorite book of RARE vintage. The 1992 film, L'Amant, is also a favorite film of RARE vintage.
When we found this late 1970s silk chiffon intricately embroidered runway sample top by Chanel haute couture we thought about a young French girl on the Mekong River wearing an old thin silk dress and a man's fedora. She may not have been wearing a Chanel runway sample but we like to imagine this top as part of a memory, a clandestine romance of passion and of desire.
The intricately beaded top on a fine thin chiffon is wonderfully intact - it is fragile but in pristine condition. The closer you look at the fine handwork, the more you see: delicate butterflys and tiny beads of the palest pink worked into the embroidery. The collar and cuffs are densely embroidered.
