The story

Why we picked it
I was drawn to this piece the moment it surfaced - a genuine artifact from a Los Angeles film costume house, carrying the specific gravity that only objects made for the camera tend to hold. The density of hand-applied beadwork here is extraordinary, the kind of labor that simply does not appear in ready-to-wear of any era. It sits in the collection as much as a document of cinematic craft as it does a wearable object.

A theatrical tour de force from a Los Angeles film costume house, this two-piece ensemble captures the opulent excess of cinematic "Orientalist" fantasy. Densely beaded and sequined throughout, it reads as pure spectacle, likely designed for a stylized dance sequence or high-fantasy desert production.

The cropped bodice is constructed from teal lace overlaid with hand-applied sequins, bugle beads, and iridescent crystals arranged in a scrolling floral pattern. The coordinating aqua chiffon harem pants feature an elasticized waistband and dramatic beaded cuffs detailed with a geometric "skyscraper" design in emerald and gold. Long angel sleeves provide sweeping movement, while professional studio-grade internal structure ensures durability. The chiffon shows localized brownish staining throughout, which may be removable.
