then designer Raf Simons asked himself when designing the S/S2011 collection

It is almost like a mohair but not in a crazy ling haired kind of way - very soft and a nice weight that makes it easy to move in

Looking like it could have been worn by Talitha Getty this is an amazing and easy to wear piece

It is made of a linen cotton mix

A really lovely dress

1970s Beaded Bob Mackie Silk Jersey Gown designer-jean-paul-gaultier then designer Raf Simons askedA killer gown by Bob Mackie who is best known for dressing Cher and for his love of opulence and bead work! He worked for both Edith Head and Jean Louis and I think he secretly always designed for the big screen and the bygone glamor of Hollywood. His work always is over the top and extravagant. This is an amazing silk jersey gown in a sleek and simple black that is cut to create height and curves. It would not be a Bob Mackie without some glitz
