I bought this 1956 Christian Dior original in a vintage shop in Greenwich Village for about $75 in 1980, had great fun in it and gave it to a thrift shop in Los Angeles in 1988. It sold (or one just like it) in 2002 at auction in London for $31,500 USD. Hey, you can’t hold on to everything!
I wore it to Studio 54 one night; about a dozen of us in ballgowns and the men in black tie trooped over on foot from Angelo Donghia’s 50th birthday dinner at the NY Athletic Club carrying gold and black balloons. They opened the doors wide and we all went straight to the dance floor. Whooo! Party!
