Those dresses are stunning. Getting Dita Von Teese vibes from the red dress!
Doris-Thank you for saying"Rejection is God's Protection." I needed to hear that today.
What a great saying.
That was a powerful statement.
Oh, Doris this is one of your best. The clothes are out of this world. St Laurent was a true genius and perfectionist. Thank you.
I never tire of seeing these iconic pieces! I still cannot believe that dumpster story; bless your friend for being there and rescuing these dresses! I can’t imagine them in a landfill. 😭
This is my favorite era for clothing as everything is so structured but still shows off the female form. Would love to go shopping with Doris for a dress from this era or is reminiscent of this era
I dug in the dumpsters at MGM. I still have one dress, a beaded one left. I restored and wore them. It was 1980.
do you know the provenance of the garments? Any clues left on the tags? I think it was in the 70s when Debbie Reynolds started snatching up everything MGM was hocking everything to the auction block.
@@NostaIgiaJunkie She sure did. I read she dug in the dumpster too. I'm from Las Vegas and she had a museum in her Hotel. I have one beaded dress left. It's black. No tags. We actually had a memorial service for a black knit dress everyone I knew wore. It was a contest on who got it that weekend. It was from the 50's. I was coming home from a date in the early 80's and found a huge garbage bag in Beverly Hills. I can't tell you how I knew to look in it but it was filled with beaded sweater sets and Marbella knit dresses. I made my date put it in his trunk. To this day that was my best "Roadside boutique" find. My roomate at the time was on a soap opera called "Days of Our Lives". She was fresh out of college and couldn't afford to buy clothing as fancy as what her character wore. She would wear my "Roadside" finds to the studio and ended up wearing many of them on the show. That was how I learned what film did to color. People didn't have the same mentality back then. Now we reuse,restore, and recycle. I have radar for vintage. A great place to find things is at the Goodwill on Beverly in Los Angeles. All the pickers want Free People and Lulu lemons. They pass the vintage to me. I found a Madeline Vionette gown for $8.99. Mint condition. Before covid I found many great things in bags by the trash. I miss thrift stores so much. It is such a thrill.
@@TheLilliBlue Wow thanks for sharing that AMAZING story! It was almost as thrilling reading it as it would be finding your "Roadside boutique"! I started collecting vintage pieces myself about 5yrs ago. I live near Palm Beach FL myself (lots of old money, not as fun as LA and Vegas lol), and the only amazing thing I found was at a thrift shop balled up under the racks of "prom dresses". It was an amazing unlabeled baby peach and cream early 60s Givenchy gown. I could tell just by the construction alone, that it was couture worthy. I had a friend who knew someone, who knew someone high up that could confirm with the house that it was indeed a Givenchy. She lays in an acid free box under my bed lol
@@NostaIgiaJunkie "Roadside Boutique" means I found it in the trash. LOL Cheers to the Givenchy gown rescue. I always give up my source. I don't know many folks who will spend the time to dig. My former husband says "Fish need to move through water to breathe, Lilli needs to move through cloths."
I have learned so much from Doris. I have never met her in person but we have talked on the phone. It was right before covid hit and her shop was trashed during the riots. It all happened literally right in our back yards. Textile collectors are a rare breed. Doris has the most generous spirit.She is a teacher,historian, and hippy princess all about love. I call her the Stevie Nicks of Vintage. LA can be a snobby place, us and them sort of mentality. When you walk into The Way We Wore you can feel the warmth. Fair and repectful pricing. It is a place for everyone who loves and respects vintage. The ultimate vintage store in Los Angeles.
Keep your eye out for snow birds. You will find a lot of New York fashion in Palm Beach . I must learn about acid free boxes. Thank you for this exchange. We do find kindred souls even when separated by miles and safe at home orders. So much good has come from the fact I have to stay at home. I moved my bedroom to my living room annd made my bedroom my closet. My collections are all in great order. thank you Marie Kondo. LOL Happy Hunting. May the vintage goddesses be with you. Again CHEERS! on the Givenchy rescue.
Wow Doris that dumpster story is definitely one for the books! What a beautiful piece! Such amazing art! I love that you bring these pieces to us! Thank you!❤️
Loved that those beautiful pieces were rescued Doris
There is a huge lesson there
Like a Phoenix from the ashes
Thank you for sharing this with us x
Have a lovely week ahead x
What I love about the 1st piece is that it looks fabulous on any body type. Priceless.
An interesting fact is that Atlanta businessman J. Mack Robinson, was a major investor in Yves St. Laurent's house when he first started. His wife loved St. Laurent's creation at Dior and Mr. Robinson loved the buzz St. Laurent created his first line of couture for the house of Dior.
It was like visiting an art gallery, thank you💖
Thank you for sharing these amazing pieces. The dumpster story is shocking because they threw things away without even looking at what they were. Fortunately, it is also a miraculous story because your friend was smart enough to know that there might be things of value there. Thank God she rescued those pieces. To think of them lost is heartbreaking.
There are so many things in your shop I admire but one of my weakness is accessories as they change an outfit in a heartbeat. One of my favourite is the 80s Girls Just Want To Have Fun earrings. How can you not have fun wearing those. LOL 😍
Such a treat to see. I can't believe they were saved from a dumpster. When I went to Paris in the mid 80's I spent my last $40.00 on a YSL lipstick. It was before it was available in the United States. Felt so bad ass pulling out that lipstick. It cost more than my Le Sportsack. 🤣 He passed on too soon. Thank you for sharing another one of your fashion jewels.
Every time I hear the dumpster story my heart starts racing a bit and I get a little bit of anxiety. I love that these dresses ended up in Doris' hands, she has so much respect for the dresses and the work.
With a $500 gift card i would purchase something from a designer that was prominent in the eighties but isn't very well known anymore. Eg. Louie Feraud, Cacherel, Ungaro, Scherrer, the clothes I used to salivate over as a teenager and would dream of one day owning.
Fantastic story! Dior is one of my favorite designers! I painted a 2 ft x 6 ft geometric landscape painting that took me 144 hrs to paint. It is was inspired after seeing a Dior coat. Doris, keep wearing colors because your beauty shines more in color instead of wearing no color at all. You are a gorgeous person! Sigh... You make purple or lavender look amazing! Your staff is doing a fabulous job with the show! Love you all! 💗
Hi! I'd love an episode that goes over the basics of fashion: styles, material, etc.
That champagne dress still commands attention even lying in a box, what a find.
I love your episodes!! You are like opening up a historic book!! 👏😘
This is incredible. Thanks for taking the time to show and teach us about this amazing pieces and it's history! Sending love from Argentina!
More please!
Suggested for me. So glad! This is fascinating.
Dior fashion remained tops but I read an article a few years back , maybe last year where his brand made the fast fashion list. I don't think he would appreciate that event. I have a few of his vintage pieces and still
In great condition. Hard to conceive a Dior piece only lasting 6 months to a year before it makes the trash bins.
OMG, that red dress is so beautiful! My favorite designer is Dior and just wow! How lucky that these were rescued!
These pieces are so stunning. Definitely some of my favorites. Thank you for sharing!
Love this amazing craftsmanship 🥰
This story is insane and that Dior is STUNNING! Would love to have the opportunity to listen to Doris and all her knowledge and I would buy that amazing Halston black full length cape
I feel like I've seen this before?
Yes! I feel like this is an old video for some reason??? 🤔
@@ndrw_cstnd I thought I was having deja vous!
@@RiDER-RHYTHM possibly both of us are having dejavu! Lol
Yup!! And dear doris is not easy on the eyelids...cant listen to her stories twice
It's an old video that has been recycled.
You have the most interesting collection & stories! I love the video as always Doris! I saw those Gunne Sax dresses in your new arrivals, and even though I rarely stray past the 60s styles of Biba and Courrèges, I am obsessed. Please keep up with the amazing content, you make my week so much brighter.
I found a Gunne Sax 1970s wedding dress in a free bin once. It's styled after a Victorian lingerie dress.
These pieces are gorgeous! I would actually love to wear them!
The most fun was seeing the construction of the dress. With such wide seems and deep hems, if you wanted to alter the dress you could. But you wouldn't alter the dress. I have been dumpster diver in my life. You can find some of the nicest things... leather boots, antique dishes, lots of odds and ends. The Dior dress was lucky to be found by your friend. Dresses from the 50's are so classic. They hide so many body issues. Stay safe.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🍀🍀🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🍀🍀🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🍀🍀🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🍀🍀🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🍀🍀🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🍀🍀🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🍀🍀🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🍀🍀🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🍀🍀🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🍀🍀🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🍀🍀🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for highlighting my comment. I also watched one of your other videos about costume jewelry. The lady who made the Texas earrings, and the grape vine ones are so very creative. I just hope one day l have enough money to buy a pair. Thank you for sharing your experience in the fashion industry. Stay safe.🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🌹🌹🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🌹🌹🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🌹🌹🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🌹🌹🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🌹🌹🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🌹🌹🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🌹🌹🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🌹🌹🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🌹🌹🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Everytime I watch your video, I always remember my mom's vintage blouse that was sadly gone. I didn't get ask my mom from which decade the blouse was, but I think it was around 1970s-1980s bc she was a teenager around those two decades. It was a lovely white blouse in a pristine condition, sadly it just sat in the garage. I was thinking about fetching it later bc I was on an errand, but when I returned later the blouse was gone. RIP, I would totally wear that
Hearing stories about clothes give them so much more impact!!!
LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! This is the kind of content I go wild for! I love Haute Couture!
Lovely lovely lovely, Doris. I had the good fortune to attend the Dior Exposition in Paris several years ago. It is one of the highlights of my life....brought tears to see all the exquisite Dior designs, room after room.
Wow ❤️❤️
When you handle these pieces you should really wear gloves. The salt and perspiration on your fingers goes right into the fibers of the fabric.
Gloves, Doris, gloves!
Thank you Doris for letting us into your shop. In these lockdown times just to escape for a little while is so therapeutic. I’m lost in all these beautiful designers clothing. ❤️
Yes! I love getting away with Doris for a while....
I loved watching this and I love the items you showed. You are very passionate. I was lucky enough to work for Saint Laurent, although it is no longer owned by the designer himself, it was great to know the history of the company and feel the clothes that he had inspired.
In what capacity did you work? Do tell!!!
I would love to see an episode on head wear. Hats, scarves, jeweled head pieces.
Gorgeous pieces and wonderful stories! Thank you for sharing!
We have to choose only ONE of your pieces to buy for the contest?!?! There are SO many! I really like your Jean Varon 70s Peasant Blouse with the Brown Polka Dots and the Chloe Early 2000s Ivory Bustier with Baby Blue Palettes, but if I had to choose one it would be the 70s Blue Shearling & Leather Jacket. I fell in love with that jacket since I saw it on your post a while back. I would ROCK it! I have learned so much from your channel - Thanks Doris for your sharing your knowledge and expertise. I love your sense of style and use of colors.
I love your videos and greatly respect your incredible knowledge about vintage fashion. But my goodness, what are you wearing? It looks like curtains from grandma's house, turned into a dress by a Home Ec. student. Surely you can find something more flattering.
I LOVE, LOVE Yves Saint Laurent, what an amazing Genius!!!!
Thank you! I get so excited when I see you have a video up! I love hearing the history and looking at pieces and thinking oh that would work for me or damn I wish I could wear that! Lol!
Me too! I imagine thatI was still thin, and pretend I had the cash to buy the pieces I love. The weight came when I developed Fibromyalgia a couple of decades (yikes) ago. But, h how I love pretty things.
@@jayneneewing2369 I have trouble remembering that I am no longer 100 lbs when looking at clothes! Lol! I Gaines weight after hysterectomy and my brain still thinks I'm the size I was until then! Lol! Tricky are our brains! Lol!
🅰️➕➕➕➕ Love this video and appreciate your kind and beautiful heart, Doris. Tell us the story of when you "went bonkers seeing him and he saw you go bonkers and gave you a big smile." We love your fab stories.
Enjoyed this so much...I’m learning so many new things from you.
Doris! Your channel is getting us through these tough times! It is a joy to see all of your pretty things brought to life by your research and vivid stories of past owners. Praying for you and all other small businesses during these tough times. Currently, I am lusting over the Mccardell playsuit, but the green velvet Cole of California and Atchinson swimsuits are also beauties. My friends and I do aerial photoshoots in vintage attire and it photographs beautifully! Keep the videos coming. xoxo
Doris,you look gorgeous today! Enjoying your video with my toast and coffee on this Sunday morning!
Hi Doris, My name is Rosa and I'm from Peru this is my enter for your contest :D
Last year I finished school but because of corona my school decided to cancel our prom, as a kid who grew up watching high school musical it was a pretty sad moment for me xD
I think that what hurt me the most was that I wasn't even able to buy a prom dress or take photos with my friends. Looking in your store I watched this vintage blass 90's black and white plaid dress and I just though "That's something I would totally take prom photos with¨. You're so far from here but i totally feel the love you have for your work, hope you read this bye;)
(I also put the comment on your queens gambit video but i really want to make sure you watched it, love youuuu)
Oh my heart! I do costuming for a local community theatre company and have been appalled at the way vintage dresses and shoes are treated...so often discarded, butchered...I've found 90 year old satin pumps in the garbage can.
Such a elegant episode this week. Love this Era of time. I used to dress up in my mother's dresses, purses all the accessories from this time. So stunning!
I would love to buy a jacket, one that could be dressed up or down, I am starting over in life & this would be a great symbolic piece to start a new chapter! Love from England x
Wonderful episode it makes me want to watch your Smithsonian Episode where you fly to Chicago and go to the former fashion model's estate sale. I love the story about finding the dresses in the dumpster, it reminds me of some of the cool stories in Harriet Love's groundbreaking book on buying, selling and collecting vintage fashion that came out in the '80's.
As an aspiring screenwriter, editing my scripts for the Nicholl Fellowships, I would love to purchase an Old Hollywood 30s style gown to wear to a premiere for a film I had written.
Hi Caroline. Sorry for the late reply. Congratulations on tapping into your creative aesthetic and the fact that you got a script produced. That’s huge!
Would you please call the store and give them your wish list along with your measurements? 30s pieces, especially gowns, are getting harder and harder to find. The number for the store is: 323-937-0878
Many thanks for your interest and thanks for taking the time to reach out.
Doris
@@thewaywewore7371 I would love to go shopping someday, but the production company backed out at the last, so its sadly not sold yet? I have to go shop "it" around before I go shopping. But your shop is at the top of my list when does get made.
That dumpster story is incredible!!
Thank you for sharing and being so informative and interesting to watch!❤️❤️❤️
If I were to win the contest, I would be deciding between the Mollie Parnis 70s white lace dress and the Sant Angelo Ivory Crepe and Silver Shot dress. I’ve been on the hunt for a good vintage dress for my backyard wedding
💛 the ivory dress. Have you ever or do you have any dresses or shoes that are haunted?
You continue to amaze me with your videos. They are such a bright spot in my life. These pieces are so incredible as the stories behind them. Thank you so much for sharing!!
I loved this story about the ivory dress!!! It would be a beautiful wedding dress if it wasn’t so valuable!!!
Check Volume.... Love your channel 😍
Yes! Wondering also. So hard to watch because the sound is so so low. Ty
I would love to know how you gained all your amazing expertise Doris. Are you self taught? Did you go to fashion school? Did you have an amazing mentor? Would love to know xxxx
Yes, she should definitely do a video on her life and career history!
I love your videos honey, like like like 💖💖💖
Thank you Doris for this remarkable video. Stunning gowns
Thank you so much for sharing your endless knowledge!!! If I were to go shopping @ The Way We Wore, I’d go for dresses or cardigans. Anything with a fun print that would work in the summer and the fall. Thanks again!! 💘💘💘
if I had found that dress , I would wear it even at home... just to feel pretty!
What’s really panic inducing is imagining what couture pieces didn’t get rescued
Art, now landfill material
🌼I was thinking the same thing. I was told designer stores do this, to keep their clothes at a high value and out of the hands of poor people. What a waste. 🌼
My friend in 2001 bought an original 1950s Balenciaga dress in an obscure thrift store in a market in Vietnam for around USD $2.
OMG! That’s a terrific snippet of info! Thanks for sharing!!
Doris
Beautiful pieces.
Thanks for sharing the incredibly tradgic dumpster story. I'm so glad some of the things were rescued.
I think a full tour of the store would be a cool episode.
Thank you for sharing. The Dior pieces are stunning.
Thank you for the opportunity to shop from your store! I've been meaning to stop in hopes of finding clothes that are my size. I have an old world body with the old world sizing, curtesy of my Great Grandmother, so modern size 0 is even too big at times! I also just love unique pieces and having some that is vintage or antique guarantees that it's practically one of a kind. That smoking suit, for example, the cut and style of it is right up my ally, but then again, I love anything with neckties and bows.
Ooh! So exciting! I would love a Chanel cardigan.
i am trying to recall... i think u've told the dumpster story before but it's just so fantastic that hearing it again is still wowza. how lucky were the stage actors that wore the costumes and us nerds seeing them thanx to ur friend and u. teecee xoxo
💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💞💕
I really enjoy watching these fashion shows. Thank you so much.
Wonderful story, so glad that you saved the dresses.😁
Always a pleasure hearing how you aquired the lovely garments. I look forward to visiting your vintage store!
I love the art and history of fashion... and you bring both with such grace. Thank you for sharing!
Sending LOVE from morocco, Thank you Doris, You are a gem
If I were to win my top choices from the website are the
1. Thierry Mugler Modernist Dress
Or
2. John Galliano Two Piece with the Metal Dog Bag
I’d love to buy a vintage wearable piece, they just don’t make clothes like they used to
I love your collections. If only we could find Dior in a Skip (dumpster) like that today. alas I fear most people are too savvy not to spot a Couture gown these days. especially when we were able to visit the V & A in London roll on the end of lockdown!
I love listening to these stories on where you find these items. For the giveaway, I would love to own the 1940s pink and white print nightgowns. As my country is in lockdown, all I do is lounge all day.
If I was in your store I would buy dresses. Anything from the 1920 to the 1960's. Everything from those times had very interesting silhouettes. Ooh and lots of jewelry!
I’d buy a Native American necklace I once saw in the case
Hi Brian. Thank you for your continued interest. I think you’ve been with us since we started and that means a lot to me.
Do you want us to do images of our Native American showcase so that you can see the choices we have to offer? If so, please call the store at: 323-937-0878.
Hoping all is well with you. With gratitude.
Doris
Omg! It is so beautiful!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your treasures. I really was excited to see your still inserts in the video with all of the close-ups on the dress that you are explaining! So fun and so informative.
Hi Doris, thank you for your wonderful video series and I can’t wait to check out the store someday in the future. If I were to win, I would definitely use the gift card towards the Hanae Mori silk gown.
If I were to win the giveaway, I would like to purchase 60/70 related items. Either mod-like dresses or authentic 70s floral printed pieces, ranging from flares to button-ups! In general, I would love to simply engage with Doris and visit the store., Looking forward to the giveaway results!
Wow,wow,wow,beautiful jut beautiful,would love to own anything.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I LOVE LOVE your videos but I really need better volume. I can hardly hear what Doris is saying and I have my very good headphones and powerful computer volume turned up to 100.
Wonderful to see you agaiN Doris. I was alway a big fan of his Rive Gauche of course. Just brilliant with color and shape.
Hello Doris!! This is one of my favorite videos and probably because I am a HUGE lover of Vintage Christian Dior and Yves Saint Laurent. It warms my heart to hear that at least some were rescued. Women back in those days sure knew how to dress. As I little girl I would go with church with my Grandma who was all decked out and of course I had a Sunday best dress, hat, gloves and lil purse and why to this day I still LOVE to get all dressed up. I am very blessed to have a few items myself. I have a brand new pair of Vintage Yves Saint Laurent calf hair tall boots but I am afraid to wear them... Also I LOVE the color of your hair!!!!
i’d love to buy some unique jewellery- being in the uk means that it’s difficult to find things that are one of a kind x
I AM 100 LBS. OVERWEIGHT...BUT....I COULD LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE WEIGHT FOR THE YSL DUMPSTER DRESS......
subscribed!
how sad to hear about all the theater costumes ending up the the dumpster. how lucky that some beautiful pieces were saved.
if i chose something for the giveaway, it would have to be the vintage Chanel black mini-dress. it’s the right size (very important!) and i love how classic and versatile it is.
Just throwing this out there for an idea, as far as any contest goes. What about a special curated box of items? That way the winner gets a little of everything to create a fabulous outfit! So the red number, ahh my heart Immediately went pitter patter. A supper cute cashmere fuzzy button up sweater for a super Sex and The City style posh brunch date, living that fantasy. Thanks for another great video 💞🤗
