Vintage YSL Yves Saint Laurent Fieldcrest Black Ochre Orange Mod Bath Towel 1970:
$47.75

Vintage early 1970s YSL mod graphic geometric terrycloth bath towel from the Fieldcrest Collection (launched in 1969) from the beach house collection of a former NYC fashion magazine editor who used it for years.

I had a whole set of these, and this is the last piece, and it does not include the YSL embroidered logo or Fieldcrest tag. It may have been a brand sample back in the late 1960s, and used in a photo shoot (my client does not remember).

It\'s the same color way as those you will find in the same pattern from the same collection.

41-1/2\" length (fringe is extra)

26\" width

About me: I am a NYC-based photo & video prop stylist, set designer, & interior decorator for magazines like Real Simple, Instyle, Modern Luxury & others. I have lived in NYC for 30 years since the late 80s and have been in and around fashion and retail for decades. I am a stealth shopping/ sourcing powerhouse, and can locate an antique or a special prop for a photo shoot, movie set, or fashion designer with my eyes closed. I started my career in New York City in the late 1980s dressing display windows at Henri Bendel & the elegant Bergdorf Goodman on Fifth Avenue in the glory days of real story-telling windows. It was there that I learned the art of styling designer clothing & creating an aspirational & romantic mood with merchandise that helps build a relationship with the clothes we wear, and the emotion that people have with properly presented merchandise. I had access to the finest luxury designer clothing like Claude Montana, Pauline Trigere, Coco, Mr Beene and others, and learned about expert seam construction, the feel of good fabrics, the details that matter, and the high tech fabrics that are constantly innovating the marketplace. It was also a time (the 80s) when the shift in the social food chain began to change, a time when the Ladies Who Lunch began to be replaced by a new moneyed group who changed the way retail was conducted, and I always longed for the days when shopping was an event, a treat, and “madame” was served champagne in dressing rooms and the clothes were not thrown on rounder racks in discount departments.

Being around such glamorous clothing it was hard to not learn about what separates quality clothing from fast fashion, and I bolstered my fashion history knowledge with constant learning about the names of yesteryear and the designers who were the innovators in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, and am always learning more, to learn how modern clothes spring forth from their predecessors. My grandmother Gladys Schuck ran the Cancer Association Thrift Shop in Westport, CT in the 1960s and as a child I helped sort boxes of donated clothing, and she would tell me stories about the designers and the fabrics, and I learned a great deal about vintage clothing from her; my mother, after raising her children, was an antique dealer and sale and estate sale maven, so I learned from her all the time.

I started buying vintage clothing at flea markets & estate sales on my own, and have built an incredible collection, much of it coming up for sale here on (along with consignments from my fashion industry and magazine industry cohorts). My mother also wore lots of Bonnie Cashin in the 1960s and 1970s so I was aware of the modern minimalists, and sought them out for her when I found them.

These days, in addition to home decorating, home organizing, and photo styling for photo shoots, I sell some of my vintage finds here on . I am also a home organization expert, the \"Clutter Coach\" for REAL SIMPLE magazine. Since I’m shopping constantly, and love fancy estate sales and sample sales, I scour them regularly and with great skill; the result is an online shop that I consider a finely curated collection of vintage clothing, home accessories, & mid century odds and ends from high end homes in the New York City area.

I also take consignments from fashion stylists & fashion editors I know in NYC who have packed closets filled with designer garments they bought, received as gifts from designers, or used on photo shoots and are in perfect condition--all sold here & ready for new fashionistas to enjoy them.

* I have proudly sold tons of clothing and props to film and television prop and wardrobe departments including Masters of Sex, The Mysteries of Laura, Boardwalk Empire, The Carrie Diaries, and the one with Don Draper (you cannot use the name of the show in items or they take them down). I love helping source stuff, and just KNOW that I have tons more stuff than is listed here, so if you are in film or television production just ask for specifics and I will probably have something for you, or be able to understand what you are looking for without wasting your time. I have been in the biz and know how it works. That said, I am happy to serve filmproductionwardrobe departments and set designers and set prop people, socontactme with any queries about specific items you are looking for. I am a good andreliableresource.

Cheers!
