Psychedelic Envy | Vintage DESIGNER Emilio Borghese Maxi Gown Dress
Let us share a little of our vintage collecting beginning.... It was made of empty bank accounts and sitting in front of the computer at unearthly hours (and mind you, that was when computers were not an everyday appliance, we had to fight several family members to get to use it for an hour!) and bidding sometimes obscene amounts for hard-to-get vintage designer pieces.
Amongst the designers we hunted were Peter Max, Pucci, Alfred Shaheen, Emilio Borghese, Vera, Lanz.
And so we are sad to part with this, a maxi gown (yes, we were mad for those too) in such a perfect print by Emilio Borghese.
Weddings would be so much easier with this beauty.
