Northstar Vintage Webstore: Vintage 70’s White Courreges Skirt

Posted on | February 25, 2010 | No Comments

Betsey Johnson might have been ahead of her time, but Courreges was downright  futuristic – we’re still waiting to live in the space age world that he imagined in the 1968.

Ironically, as the space age look went out of fashion, Courreges went for a softer, more old-fashioned look, with peasant inspired looks, and collections in all-white (okay, maybe all-white is still a bit futuristic).

I believe this skirt is from the era when he was softening his look and designing in all-white.  There’s still a touch of space-age, with the Courreges logo embroidered on the front and the over sized pockets on the hips.

This is from the estate of a Massachusetts woman who LOVED her white clothes, and she lived hard in them.  This is one of the few white pieces from the estate that survived intact – the others were sent to a friend for study and appreciation.
