1993 Revisited- Marianne Vanderwilt + Pierrette B.




1993 Revisited




From the 1993 International Fashion Desk Diary 
by Shirley Kennedy - this is the cover.



These illustrations are from Marianne Vanderwilt
she makes a collection of leather & suede. 
Look at her drawings below.





Cherry red French lambskin is perfect.
For the long jacket + matching scarf trimmed in fox.
 The knee-length skirt has a flattering high waistband.




A short top with pleated collar and cuffs
tops tight pants with pockets.
Look at the shoulder pads-




Smoky purple smooth leather
for a tight waisted peplum jacket & matching leather skirt.


Pierrette B.

Taken From the 1993 Desk Diary-a little bit about her.

She & husband Rolf Braunchweig created, manufactured and sold worldwide. In her words,  
"We design for the active, modern women of today. Our easy fitting
will make her fashionably happy"




Sherlock, 
a smashing fuschia and scarlet full-skirted wool trenchcoat
with a quilted grape lining.
I could wear this today.




Olive green and camel wool/cashmere bubble coat. 
 Finished off smartly with a fringed scarf and leather piping.




Cozy & cuddly: 
a swingy big-shoulderer, fleecy coat in tangerine  
tied and fringed for dramatic trim.

This is a blast from the past. 
Aren't they divine? So retro! 

So treasure this desk diary given to me by my godfather. 

What do you think about the fashion, dear readers?






Love,


Peggy
