I apologize for the bad scans, this magazine has suffered from some water damage.  I believe that the clothing is fabulous enough to look past it!

KERRY TAYLOR - DECEMBER 4TH

Here are a few of my favourite pieces from the upcoming Kerry Taylor auction on Dec.4th.  This one is packed with Jean Muir!

Jean Muir ca.1970 Silk Liberty Print Dress

Early 80's Zandra Rhodes Chiffon Dress

 70's Ossie Clark/Celia Birtwell 'Ziggy Stardust' Dress

70's Christian Dior Mink and Suede Coat

70's Miss Mouse Satin Novelty Print Coat

I remember seeing the same fabulous Miss Mouse jacket over at Vintage-a-Peel a year or two ago.  I'm even more tempted the second time around!
