SOLD!! Sportmax "Carte Blanche" Christophe Brunnquell Silk Dress




THANK YOU PIA!!


In brief:

--100% silk jersey dress
-- number 123 of a limited edition of 600.
-- Made in Italy
--size Small. Would also fit a Medium due to generous shape (Check link below: Susie is wearing a size Small)
--Worn ONCE
-- $50
-- FREE shipping within US and Canada.

This dress is from Sportmax's "Carte Blanche" project with artist Christophe Brunnquell, who has collaborated with such illustrious customers as colette, Balenciaga, Purple and Louis Vuitton. I first read about the collaboration with Sportmax on Dazed Digital here:

Then, I saw Suzie Bubble of Style Bubble fame wearing the tunic, and of course after that I couldn't click on Yoox fast enough. Look how cute it looks on her!

The dress arrived, and it was (is) beautiful. It is extremely versatile: it can be layered, a la Susie Bubble (click on link!), accessorized with a belt, or worn as a simple summer dress. This was made as a Limited Edition of only 600 and each one is labeled with the date and item number accordingly-- the photo of the label is blurry, but you may just be able to make out that mine is "Item 123."

I paid $185 for it on Yoox. They are still available on that site, but are sold out in size Small. As far as I'm concerned, this blog is not for recouping costs for things I have already wasted money on. I just want to inject some flow into my stagnant pile of hoarded items of clothing and send it to someone who will actually wear it. I'd be very happy to get $50 for it (just to dull the pain, know what I'm sayin'?). If you live in the US or Canada, I'll ship it for free.


First come, first served! If you leave your email in the comments, I'll paypal you right away (or as soon as I get a chance) and it will be winging its way (priority mail) to you tomorrow.

Please let me know (via comments) if you don't live in the US.
