Description

long sleeve backless dress Incredible Fall 1998 Guy Laroche by Alber Elbaz Runway Black Jersey Re – Shrimpton CoutureThe twin of the dress walked the runway for the Fall 1998 Guy Laroche collection It was made under the creative direction of Alber Elbaz. Alber was at Laroche from 1996 to 1998. The final collection that he designed was the Spring 1999 show and then he moved to YSL Rive Gauche directly after. This dress is an obvious take reissue on the famous 1972 Laroche designed by Guy and worn by Mireille Darc in the film 'The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe'.

  • The twin of the dress walked the runway for the Fall 1998 Guy Laroche collection
  • It was made under the creative direction of Alber Elbaz.
  • Alber was at Laroche from 1996 to 1998. The final collection that he designed was the Spring 1999 show and then he moved to YSL Rive Gauche directly after.
  • This dress is an obvious take / reissue on the famous 1972 Laroche designed by Guy and worn by Mireille Darc in the film 'The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe'.
  • The dress is made out of a soft black jersey that is a mix of wool and silk. This makes it extremely comfortable to wear. It also gives it a slight touch of modernity from the original. 
  • Like the original it has that deeply plunging and open back. The opening on this version goes right to the top of the neck instead of closing at the back of the neck like the original.
  • The front neck is scooped and sits high up on the neck. The shoulders are soft and the sleeves are long. I love how he added a flared cuff to the ends of each sleeve instead of keeping them tight and fitted. It gives the dress a slightly more fluid feel.
  • It skim over the bust and waist with simple darts, adding shape around the bust area. The jersey makes it very easy to fit because it has some stretch.
  • From there it curves back out over the hip and falls to the floor. The bottom flares out quite a bit to pick up on the flare of the sleeves. There is an inset triangle of panel at the back to give it more flare.
  • The back is fully open and the scoop is deep. This is intentional and meant to have that same shocking effect that the original dress had. Even knowing of the original dress, it still felt shocking when it was seen on the runway. I don't think it's quite as deep as the runway version but it's really dependent on your height and length of your torso. I have provided the measurement from the neck to the base of the scoop below.
  • This is an incredibly rare dress and you may not see one again. I love the double dose of fashion history that this one has with the tie in with the original, as well as being an early piece of Alber's work, plus the documentation on the runway. A collectors dream.
  • The dress is unlined and slips on to wear with no closures. The black jersey has some stretch and I have put the comfortable range of measurements below. Its easy fit and stretch should allow it to fit a range of sizes. It appears to have been worn very little, if at all.
  • Tagged a vintage Laroche FR36

The Perfect All-In-One Powerhouse!
Capacity: 16GB RAM + 628GB Storage, Color: Natural Silver
I recently purchased this 2025 HP Ultrabook as a gift, and it has exceeded every expectation. The recipient uses it daily for both high-level business work and personal use at home, and he absolutely loves the quality, functionality, speed and reliability. The fact that it comes with Lifetime MS Office and Windows 11 Pro already included is a huge value-add—it was ready to go right out of the box without any extra subscriptions or setup headaches. I also want to give a huge shout-out to the vendor! The laptop arrived much sooner than the estimated delivery date, which was a pleasant surprise and ensured it was under the tree just in time for Christmas. Between the premium hardware and the stellar service, I couldn't be more satisfied with this purchase. I highly recommend!

Defective Computer Returned in Original Condition – Unfair $60 Deduction
Capacity: 16GB RAM + 628GB Storage, Color: Natural Silver
I would like to report this seller for unfair and fraudulent conduct. The computer that was sent to me was defective and did not power on or function upon arrival. Because the item was not working, I returned it in exactly the same condition in which it was received, including all accessories and components. The item was properly packaged and returned without any damage caused by me. Despite this, I was charged a $60 deduction/refund reduction, which I believe is completely unjustified. The seller is attempting to hold me responsible for a condition that existed before I received the computer. I respectfully request that this case be reviewed, that the seller's conduct be investigated, and that the unjustified $60 deduction be refunded to me. The product was defective from the beginning, and I fulfilled my obligation by returning it in the same condition in which it was received. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Great laptop but will need to purchase additional Cloud space
Capacity: 16GB RAM + 628GB Storage, Color: Natural Silver
Great laptop for the price. I got the 16GB RAM + 628GB, Windows 11. It comes with MS office lifetime plus the mouse, portable SSD, earbuds. You'll most likely have to purchase additional Cloud space bit for $21.00 a year, it's not bad. Be careful if you pair the laptop with your phone for pictures as it brings all pictures over to your laptop. It takes up a lot of space. I'd recommend purchasing this laptop.
