Severe and monumental tailoring for women with tulip lapels that frame the face, alongside high-collared, constructed Medici and Nosferatu-esque necklines. Inspired by Elizabeth Taylors love of jewelry, Lorraine Schwartz created over 1,000 carats of custom-made high jewelry with white diamonds, natural emeralds, Padparadsha sapphires, pink diamonds, and canary yellow diamonds to accessorize the collection. The finale look worn by Eliza is a seamless Guipure lace gown shaped with millinery techniquesthe ultimate minimal sculptural gown that represents everything this house stands for.
At its peak, the brand was in over 5,000 stores, and in 1998 its yearly sales were more than $350 million
