“I Love Beauty. It’s Not My Fault.” Valentino
This week, Tanqueray Gin sponsored a fabulush event with 1stdibs.com at the New York Design Center in Midtown. While sipping on signature Tanqueray cocktails, we viewed 5 gorgeous Valentino vintage couture gowns and celebrated photographs from Italian Cinema in the 1960s taken by the famed Life magazine photographer, John Philips. Check the stunning pieces below my dahlings…
MG Hearts Vintage.
I bought this last year from Etsy & am having it hemmed since it is a bit long on me (will def do an outfit post once it is done!). The color is totes perfect for my S/S 11 wardy but I need the right heels to wear with it…
What shoes do you dahlings think would look good with this dress…maybe T-Strap Platform Heels? Any suggestions would be super appreciated my lovelies!

The collections were amazing from vintage Chanel chains/bags/coats to Hermes to Gaultier to vintage furs/stoles/capes to you name it – they had it.
Of course the first thing that caught my eye was a phenomenal black tuxedo coat…Chanel of course! And it would have been mine, if I only had $1299 to dish out – of which I did NOT!
Note – I would have taken so many more pics – but the point & shoot action was not adored by many of the vendors, unfortunately ;-( Dammit.
AND…I missed out on a pic of the 6ft tall, platinum-blond Tranny trying on some vintage Versace – damn, damn, damn!
Jean Paul Gaultier
