I Love black and white together, in fashion, art, and home decor. I think that this combo balances whatever it’s around and soothes the mind.
The dress I’m wearing today, I’ve pulled from the retro side of my closet. It’s a Micheal Vollbracht a 80″s designer. It was one of my first “major money” designer purchases, I knew that it was a classic and had the foresight to hold onto it through my many incarnations!
Here the dress in 2011 is as fresh as ever coupled with my over the top coral collection from my boluxe jewelry line. My designs can be purchased or special ordered here
Here’s a little something about Michaele…
Vollbracht, born 1947 in Quincy, Illinois, is a fashion designer who has worked both under his own name, and also as head designer for Bill Blass Limited from 2003 until his resignation in 2007. He is also well known as an illustrator, though he considers himself first and foremost a fashion designer. In 1979 he launched his own line, which was received so well that it earned him the Coty Award the very next year. The company folded in 1985 due to Vollbracht having accepted financial backing from Johnny Carson, which was withdrawn during Carson’s bitter divorce from his third wife. Wikipedia
You can find some of his pieces on ebay, I would definitely snapped it up if you like his style, because it’s still fresh, timeless and I believe a great collectible.
