History Class.(Yoox)
Byline: MARK HOLGATE editor: Sally Singer
A renowned art academic puts her own fashion past online.
When it comes to vintage fashion, provenance is all, and this cache couldn't be, quite frankly, any more storied. Yoox is selling 26 pieces from the wardrobe of nonagenarian art historian and magazine editor Rosamond Bernier. (We can add "legend" to her resume, even though she'd hate to be called that--though really, how else would you describe someone who befriended Matisse and Picasso, and was made a Chevalier de la Legion d'honneur?)
Bernier focused her selection on the clothes she wore while delivering her lectures, when she liked to take an individual, not to say operatic, approach to getting ready. "Giving a slide lecture can be a gloomy procedure," she says, "so I'd wear an evening dress and flashy jewelry, and come onstage to music."
Now that she is no longer lecturing, she doesn't need the 1959 Dior silk-taffeta evening dress or the feather-shredded chiffon peasant top and long skirt by Zandra Rhodes circa early eighties, or any of the Kenneth Jay Lane or Chanel jewelry that would induce envy in a magpie. (For those not planning to emulate Bernier's approach to workwear, there is also a great 1980s scarlet boucle suit from Chanel.)
