Untouched by Time: Vintage Gucci

Snow or not, we ventured out shopping yesterday to stock up on more fabulous finds. We were lucky to find a few here and there, but the best one was, voila, a vintage Gucci 100% silk blouse, circa 1970s, way way probably before Tom Ford was even born. He is actually a few months older than me!


Although the media has spoken highly of Tom Ford's reign over Gucci, the glamour was already there to begin with. He just made it a bit sexier by Hollywood standards and then later, the masses came in full support because of the hype. Pre- or Post-Tom Ford, Gucci has been in business for decades will endure several hundreds more. It has survived the test of time and has dressed the rich and famous, and yes the masses alike since 1921.

I am very intrigued by the collar and the width of the sleeves (almost balloon-like) on this item, and the fabric really feels nothing less than luxurious. Here are a few descriptions of this gorgeous item:
