Vintage Find – 60s Malcolm Starr Feathered Frock
I’ve noticed several things about my taste:
1. I love pink.
2. I love to wear trends, but after they have already past.
3. I love flamboyant details.
4. I’m in a 60s phase.
The hot pink hottie is a delightful little morsel. It’s looks like a confection more than a designer dress. And who is Malcolm Starr? According to the Vintage Fashion Guild:
Malcolm
Starr made a popular line of evening dresses from the early 1960s
through the 1970s. A Malcolm Starr dress was commonly a sculptural and
simple shift dress which was elaborately beaded and sequined. The
company also made day attire, in the form of dress and coat or jacket
sets. By the end of the 1970s, they were also making separates.
Two
designer names associated with Malcolm Starr are Youssef Rizkallah, who
joined Starr in 1969 and was there until 1975, and Elinor (Rizkallah)
Simmons, who had been there from the early 1960s until 1972. Also,
Carol Horn was with Malcolm Starr for a brief period in the early
1970s.

Another great post. You’re right – there is something about pink which is utterly chic.

kind of dresses..and I absolutely loved them..
