No camera so I'll post another amazing piece of fashion history.
Today menswear, Of course I love dresses, but these jackets are really worth it, the details are so fabulous.

Aren't those buttons amazing?

Three-piece set of coat, waistcoat, and breeches, coat and waistcoat of stripped Lyons silk brocade, embroidered with sequins ans mirror beads, waistcoat in silk cannelé, self-fabric-wrapped buttons.

Balmain sucks when you see this. Nobody can do this any more.
Hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I do. I've got 2 books with more than 300 pages, so I keep posting "old fashion".
