This absolutely breathtaking Christian Dior by Yves Saint Laurent blush pink silk strapless corset gown dates to his spring/summer 1958, a pivotal moment in fashion history. Following Monsieur Dior’s sudden passing in late 1957, the house appointed the then 21-year-old Saint Laurent as creative director, making him one of the youngest couturiers ever to lead a Parisian maison. We were thrilled to uncover the original documentation of this gown, one of Dior's key models Odile Kern in the same dress. Further research revealed a closely related design from March 1958 described as “an evening dress in pink orchid silk,” modeled in London. Additionally, we found a photo of a dress sharing identical constructional elements from the Dior's haute couture winter collection presented at Blenheim Palace in November 1958, where it was shown to Princess Margaret. This is a clear testament to the international reach and prestige of Saint Laurent’s earliest couture work.

This archival gown is a masterclass in refined construction and intricate detail. Fashioned in luxurious pale blush-pink silk, the strapless bodice is meticulously shaped with internal boned corsetry, creating a sculpted secure fit that defines the waist before flowing into a full, pleated skirt. At the bust, an asymmetric silk bow unfurls with intention, its cascading fringe panels adding movement and textural contrast. This special dress retains its numbered Dior demi-couture label alongside a rare Dior Ltd. London designation—where select couture models were tailored to suit UK preferences while maintaining the uncompromising standards of Parisian craftsmanship. Most remarkably, the original paper tag remains attached within the interior skirting, an exceptional survival detail seldom encountered in garments of this caliber. To own a Christian Dior gown from this transitional moment is a privilege; to acquire one documented with such depth is a true 'Holy Grail'.  A profound piece of wearable art, it would be equally suited to a curated archive, institutional exhibition, or a red carpet event where historic beauty is desired.

Favorite Socks Ever
Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted, Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted
I absolutely love these socks, they compress in the middle which is my favorite thing about them! Keeps them from slipping off my feet and also adds support, love love love how they feel and how long they last! This is my second pack that I’ve purchased, I had the multi colored ones before and they’ve lasted me two years before finally starting to wear out and fade and get holes. Definitely going to be routinely buying these every year. Good to wear with my work out shoes...winter boots, Nike sandals, and my everyday adidas sneakers. These are so worth it!

Great ankle socks that stay put at a great price!!
Size: 6-9, Color: Assorted
These are great! I have been looking for a low profile ankle sock that is thinner but doesn’t ride down. (Picky, right?) I try to walk 5-7 miles on my days off. So it’s very important for me to not have to stop every couple of hundred yards, bend down, fix socks, then continue on my way while grumbling about NOT GREAT socks. These are not those socks. They really do stay put!!! And enough cushion to be comfortable also. So definitely a repeat!!

Great quality, no holes or fading!
Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted
I purchased these socks a couple years ago and love them so much that I just recently purchased them again! They fit perfectly, don't make my feet sweaty, and hit the ankle at the right spot. The material is so good that over years they have not faded and even though I wear the same few pairs every day, they have no signs of thinning or holes! These are the ONLY socks that I buy. I have the black ones as well as the multi-colored ones. I will never buy another brand or style again!

Well made and perform well, a little constricting
Size: Medium, Color: Black Assortment (6-pairs)
These socks definitely keep most of the moisture away from my feet, even in wet conditions, which is why I bought them. I am diabetic, though, and the recommendation is to wear socks that don't constrict at any point. These have a tight band around the opening that while it is not uncomfortable on, leaves a mark when I take them off. So far it's been ok, but if you have any kind of swelling in your feet or ankles these would probably not be the best. My foot measures size 8 and I wear size 9 Brooks running shoes. The socks fit me just right but based on the size of the opening and the overall length, I wouldn't think they would fit anyone more than a size larger. Overall well made and perform well as you would expect from this brand.
