If It’s Haute Enough For Salma…
November 9, 2009 10:48 am
When buying vintage, provenance is important. Which is why this 1980’s black Chanel ball gown is sure to be one of the first items to go today at the special Decades and Decadestwo sale on HauteLook. An early Karl Lagerfeld creation for the French fashion house, the tulle and satin L.B.D. “is fit for a princess, and glam enough for a movie star, too,” Decades owner Cameron Silver told us. He should know; he sold it to Salma Hayek, who wore it three years ago last month to the 21st Annual American Cinematheque Award celebration in Los Angeles. She sold it back, and it’s now part of a two-day online sale curated by Silver and featuring a collection of little black dresses by the likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Versace, Chloe, and Nina Ricci.

The things they do to see in a down economy!I’m not digging the dress much but add to it the vintage tag and the “time bound stress buying” mandated by HauteLook, this dress is sure to fly off the virtual rack!
