Donald Brooks on Shirley Bassey and at RARE vintage

If you read the blog regularly, you will know I love finding images of pieces we have at RARE vintage  from back in their day.  So it was exciting to see this image of Shirley Bassey wearing our Donald Brooks jumpsuit sharing cocktails and giggles with Joan Collins.  Looks like a super glamorous time doesn't it?!

For All of Our "Evil Glamour" Goddesses

When Marianne Faithful met Anita Pallenberg backstage at a Rolling Stones concert she dubbed Pallenberg's look "evil glamour".  I think this 1969 paisley gold lamé sleeveless jumpsuit is capable of evil glamour.  The jumpsuit is quite sheer (the evil part) and the long sleeved jacket with a sprinkling of beading is very glamorous. I love a little evil glamour in my evening attire- how about you?   

Here it is in 1969 Bazaar:

and here it is at RARE vintage for all of our evil glamour goddesses:

1969 Chester Weinberg gold paisley lamé jumpsuit and matching beaded jacket.  Size 4.

Video Killed the Radio Star

A 1970s Norma Kamali cropped, form fitting jumpsuit with sharp shoulders and gigot sleeves calls out to the girl with big dreams and a lot of ambition.  

She takes dance classes during the day and writes songs at night.  She already knows that she is going to be a star.   She knows that video is a metaphor for outrageous glamour.  

Here is The Buggles 1979 Video killed the Radio Star (Too funny!  I had to include it! Love the sunglasses!)

1970s black and white striped Norma Kamali jumpsuit.  $650
