A Rare Courrèges Find
This week on eBay we found this immaculate vintage (late-1960s) “Couture Future” space age dress by André Courrèges. For the uninitiated, André Courrèges is the self-proclaimed inventor of the mini-skirt who launched his ultra-modern ‘Space Age’ collection in 1964 and went on to become one of the most copied fashion designers of all time. Read my earlier post about the designer here. Click on the images below to see the seller’s eBay listing.
