Description

long sleeve backless dress black Incredible Fall 1998 Guy Laroche by Alber Elbaz Runway Black Jersey Re – Shrimpton CoutureThe twin of the dress walked the runway for the Fall 1998 Guy Laroche collection It was made under the creative direction of Alber Elbaz. Alber was at Laroche from 1996 to 1998. The final collection that he designed was the Spring 1999 show and then he moved to YSL Rive Gauche directly after. This dress is an obvious take reissue on the famous 1972 Laroche designed by Guy and worn by Mireille Darc in the film 'The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe'.

  • The twin of the dress walked the runway for the Fall 1998 Guy Laroche collection
  • It was made under the creative direction of Alber Elbaz.
  • Alber was at Laroche from 1996 to 1998. The final collection that he designed was the Spring 1999 show and then he moved to YSL Rive Gauche directly after.
  • This dress is an obvious take / reissue on the famous 1972 Laroche designed by Guy and worn by Mireille Darc in the film 'The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe'.
  • The dress is made out of a soft black jersey that is a mix of wool and silk. This makes it extremely comfortable to wear. It also gives it a slight touch of modernity from the original. 
  • Like the original it has that deeply plunging and open back. The opening on this version goes right to the top of the neck instead of closing at the back of the neck like the original.
  • The front neck is scooped and sits high up on the neck. The shoulders are soft and the sleeves are long. I love how he added a flared cuff to the ends of each sleeve instead of keeping them tight and fitted. It gives the dress a slightly more fluid feel.
  • It skim over the bust and waist with simple darts, adding shape around the bust area. The jersey makes it very easy to fit because it has some stretch.
  • From there it curves back out over the hip and falls to the floor. The bottom flares out quite a bit to pick up on the flare of the sleeves. There is an inset triangle of panel at the back to give it more flare.
  • The back is fully open and the scoop is deep. This is intentional and meant to have that same shocking effect that the original dress had. Even knowing of the original dress, it still felt shocking when it was seen on the runway. I don't think it's quite as deep as the runway version but it's really dependent on your height and length of your torso. I have provided the measurement from the neck to the base of the scoop below.
  • This is an incredibly rare dress and you may not see one again. I love the double dose of fashion history that this one has with the tie in with the original, as well as being an early piece of Alber's work, plus the documentation on the runway. A collectors dream.
  • The dress is unlined and slips on to wear with no closures. The black jersey has some stretch and I have put the comfortable range of measurements below. Its easy fit and stretch should allow it to fit a range of sizes. It appears to have been worn very little, if at all.
  • Tagged a vintage Laroche FR36

Great replacement wiper blades.
Size: 26"+17"+12JP(HOOK)
These were great wiper replacement for my car, very easy to install and way cheaper that buying them at a auto parts store.

Impressive performance at an impressive price
Size: 26"+17"+14BP(HOOK)
I had one damaged wiper, so I decided to replace all 3 on my Subaru Outback. I have read a lot of positive information regarding "silicone" wipers, so I settled on this complete kit as it was a good value for the price and received many positive reviews. They come well packaged, yet I was concerned that the longest blade had to be bent significantly to fit in the odd shaped box. However, once installed, that blade straightened out and conformed snuggly to the contour of the windshield. True to the claim, it does take about 30 seconds to install each blade (that is if you understand the diagram and attempt to do so correctly). I had no issues and each blade snapped securely in place. They appear to be well made and durable. The design is clean and they look good on my vehicle. I've been using them for 2 months now and they work well. They clear the windshield without streaking or chatter. They seem to work as well as other types I have used. The ultimate test will be how long they last. So far, I am very pleased with my choice.

Easy Installation Wipers!
Size: 26"+19"+14BP(HOOK)
Just installed them on my Outback, simple straightforward install. The instructions were simple and they seem to fit well. These wipers were more compatible than the old ones, and the appearance look like they are original! When I purchased these wipers I thought I had purchased the Rain-X wiper replacements, but they were not. These wipers seem to work when I used the windshield cleaner with the wipers. The windshield cleaning seems effortless and without any noise.

Great Wiper Blades, Great Price
Size: 26"+18"+16BP(D-PTB)
Perfect fit for my 2020 Subaru Outback. The blades were very well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. They clean perfectly. I have only been using them for a month, so I can’t speak to longevity. They cost less than one third the premium blades cost at the auto parts store, and work just as well.

Easy installation, good quality!
Size: 26"+17"+14BP(HOOK)
These wiper blades are great! The packaging was impressive, and I appreciated that there is clear video instructions on Amazon. There is not 15 extra adapters, that you don’t need. Just pop open the plastic cover and slide them on. It was super easy and they fit great.
