if i would've lived back then

today i picked up a great book from the library. it's about the history of fashion from 18th to 20th century and actually has some awesome things in it.
beside the japanese designers which i will show you in a seperated post, i want to show you some great 'vintage' pieces.

jacques doucet and anonymus, 1903


paul poiret, 1920 & 1923 (isn't it cute? looks just like a nice piece for nowadays, shortened)

felice rix 1920 ( i really really like the upper part somehow) & madeleine vionnet 1937


christian dior 1947 & jean-paul gaultier 1987


christobal balenciaga 1967 & christian dior 1956 (i wouldn't mind this for my prom)


christobal balenciaga 1961 & claire mccardell 1950 ( a bathing suite haha)
