Flapper Dress

Straight from the J. Peterman Company:

It was the 20′s in America.

The Great War had just ended.

The image of women, with hair piled on heads, standing immobile on the tennis court, waving a racket, just didn’t cut it any more.

Exit the Gibson Girl.

Enter the new woman: rebellious, out there, living life on her own terms.

And if you had Zelda Sayre’s money (flush with the success of Scott’s This Side of Paradise, and impending marriage to him) you might have found this beauty.

If you knew where to look.

Flapper Dress (No. 2610). Feels like a whisper in silky crinkly georgette. Which could be the only thing about it that whispers. A remarkable confection of sheer silk, clear and black beads and rhinestones that catch the light and never lets it go.

Hem dips in the back. Picot edging gives it an airy feel with no visible stitched edges. Everything is made for easy movement. A rare combination of let it all hang out fun with sophistication that you’ll wear through the holiday season.

Or anytime anyone thinks they have you pegged.

Women’s sizes: 2 through 16. Imported. On Sale. Was $698, NOW: $268.

Color: Black.

Jo’s Picks: Chanel Resort 2010

The 350 guests reclining on sun beds in the famous white tented cabanas certainly felt privileged to be witnessing the extreme glamour of the designer’s learned-but-light invocation of an important part of Coco Chanel’s biography, one that was overlaid with passing allusions to Visconti, Fellini, the Venice carnival, and the city’s art treasures.

“I wanted to reinvent the mystique,” said Karl Lagerfeld, talking about locating the collection in one of Coco Chanel’s favorite summer haunts—she visited Venice for almost ten years beginning in 1919 and met Diaghilev here.

“Coco on the Lido,” as Lagerfeld called it, started with a tableau of figures in tricorne hats and cloaks—cover-ups for a play on girdles and bras as bathing suits. Next came Tatjana Patitz promenading in creamy lace as the picture-hatted Edwardian mother in Death in Venice, her sailor-suited son Tadzio and his two sisters in ingenue fan-pleated dresses trailing behind. From there, the sequence took off into matelot- and gondolier-inspired stripes, interpreted in long-line fine-knit cardigans and playful beachwear with funny red and white striped wedge booties. The references kept streaming out—a halterneck dress fashioned in plissé knit to suggest Fortuny, the deep Doge red and the golden lion motif of the city flag, shimmery sequins and glass embroidery made to imitate the light of Venice glancing off water.

Mother Maria F2010 Collection

“For Aussie label Mother Maria, baguettes met boomerangs to inspire one of the most charming collections of the season. Defined by chic shapes and feminine details, “Parisienne” brings springtime on the Champs-Élysées to the surf-friendly shores of Australia, sustainable fabrics included.

Designer Katie Ganon first started selling pieces to friends in 2002, before extending her sphere of influence to stores in 2006. Since her line’s inception, Gannon has dedicated herself to the pursuit of everything green and gorgeous. Her Fall/Winter 2010 collection (or rather, Spring/Summer, for those of us in the northern hemisphere) harkens back to the playful sophistication of the ’40s while using beach-friendly fabrics and soft colors.”

All of Mother Maria’s garments are ethically produced Down Under using mostly organic cotton and vintage fabrics, although—full disclosure—some new conventional cotton is included, as well. Not living in the land of Vegemite? Its online shop ships worldwide—g’day, indeed!

“The luxe collection will roll out at the beginning of February at Saks’ Beverly Hills and Fifth Avenue stores, with colors inspired by vivid blues from the Mediterranean, the dark burgundy shade of dahlia (Gabbana’s favorite flower), and gold and black from Stromboli. As for the packaging, it captures Dolce & Gabbana’s deluxe style with shiny gold tones and curved edges. A long time coming, Dolce & Gabbana Makeup will feature rose-scented lipstick ($30) at the heart of the line, along with a peppery mascara ($28).
