Currently on eBay. David let me know how rare the fabric was. I’m was aware it was a one off kind, but not the whole story
Vintage D. A.E. Couture Grand Entrance, is from the first year of releases and was a one of a kind, and has never been reproduced. It was part of the late Ben Gundfast’s collection.
The unique beaded fabric was direct from a couture shop in Paris, and was hand delivered to David to create. Further accented with a soft Grecian drape, it became a true design, specific to the 1940’s starlet! It was, and still can be seen on the collectors website “A Star is born” which has been a showcase of top designer outfits for Gene since 1996.
