Someone told us to never say never. Was it our Mother? Was it our grandmother? Was it a boyfriend? Vintage is a passion and like all passions, it can be emotional, irresistible and irrational.
When we saw this gown, we were curious, we fell in love and then we became obsessed. But how could we? Bob Mackie?! Ivana Trump circa early 1980s dancing in Bob Mackie has never been our ideal. But here we are naked in a dressing room with a beaded, nearly fuschia, beaded Bob Mackie gown staring at us. But the colors are almost the color of India, the dress is flowy and suddenly we can imagine a girl going to Woodstock wearing this dress and dancing in the mud and rain. It is hippie chic, very glamorous hippie chic. So, we will never say never again and next time listen to our Mamma.
