I think E2‘s “re-worked” vintage designs are gorgeous. A “transformed” Guy Laroche It’s an interesting concept. The dresses are one-of-a-kind, but they are not purely vintage and not truly couture. For that concept, the prices are too steep for me. The Guy Laroche pictured is nearly $4,000. Even though it is unique and very beautiful,…

Proud as a Peacock
When I saw the peacock dress that Eva Longoria recently wore in Cannes, I wondered if it was the same dress I tried on at my friend Zang Toi‘s studio a couple of years ago. It was! Back in the day, MrB loved the teeny-tiny dress on me, but I was more interested in the…

Our Favorite Flavor? Crackberry!
Even when traveling, we never leave work behind. ENC caught MrB and me doing the email thing at the San Diego Zoo yesterday. In our defense, we were waiting for her to emerge from the restroom. It’s not like we were ignoring the pandas, koalas and giant anteaters. We gave them plenty of attention. In…

According to the Vintage Fashion Guild, the business was owned by Max Cohen, who designed all the prints himself. Cohen’s wife, a fan of Dean Martin, came…
