My childhood friends Grandma had a beautiful dress from him. Had no idea how incredibly important this desinger was. I could binge watch you for hours. Always learn something. ❤️
Hi Doris!! Thanks again for a wonderful video!! I have always loved sequins and beads. I wish that we would go back to dressing like women did in the 60's. When I was a little girl and went to Sunday church with my Grandma, she always wore a dress, hat, clutch with hanky and gloves. Saturday night she would let me pick out what I wanted her to wear. I know this is where I got my love for beautiful jewelry, shoes and clothing. Bless you for all you do...
I just purchased two Norman Norell Silk scarves and since I had never heard of him, I’m glad I came upon your video! Now I’m excited and proud to own a few norell pieces.
Norman Norell, Bill Blass, Halson, and Stephen Sprouse four of the most influential American fashion designers, and all four from Indiana. Must be something in the water.
Hi Doris! ❤️ Wow, A 3K house? Those were the days. :) Awesome, the peacoat is definitely a classic. I like the clean lines of Norell's dresses. The beauty of them is, they're not fussy.
His silhouettes are exquisite. Thank you so much for continuing my fashion history lessons Doris. I appreciate your serious curator side as well as your staff’s whimsical appreciation of funky vintage.
Please say hello to Montevideo, Uruguay, in your next video. If I ever go to California, I will visit your store!! Meanwhile I keep watching your wonderful videos!!!!!
Will do Virginia. I love Montevideo and I think it’s South America’s beat kept secret. I would consider retiring there. I has the pleasure of spending a week at Finca Narbona and at that time, too much development in that area including a small regional airport. You live in a lovely country but are surrounded by too many countries that make me worry. Thanks for your interest! Doris
I absolutely adore watching your videos. You are a very special woman, and to share your passion with us is a gift to many. Keep it coming as i am sure it lifts many peoples days like it lifts mine. Thank you !
I am watching your channel from Moscow, Russia, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to see all these wonderful pieces of clothing and learning all this new stuff about fashion history. Thank you!
I was able to purchase a Traina-Norell, which are his earliest pieces to first bear his name, and it is stunning. Discovered that the dress was featured in a 1950's Vogue edition - found that specific Vogue magazine and purchase it on ebay!
Yes Doris get to 50,000 followers! I love listening to you teach us your knowledge about All the beautiful designers clothing and the designers themselves. The stories are just wonderful to hear! Thank you for all you do to bring this content to us! Keep on keeping on.💖
Wow... they are gorgeous.... I love them so much.. the vivid purple one you showed in a photo..made my heart race. And of course the Michelle Obama dress was stunning! Thanks again Doris! Good wishes to you.
Doris, thank you so much for all that you do! Your show and TH-cam channel has been totally life changing and it's so wonderful to see how many people there are out there who are as nuts about this stuff as I am! I found a 1958 traina-norell silk floral gown in the wild (it was tagged for an 80's dress, probably because the print is so bold and the colors are so vivid) this past January and I've been researching it since. Your content is invaluable to me as a collector who is starting to sell! 🧡
Hi Jennifer! It pleases me to know how our videos have touched your life. Thanks for letting me know. Isn’t it fun to do the research! Good luck with your journey down this wonderful path! Doris
Wonderful Doris Thank you for sharing those sequinned spectaculars with us I love the clean lines and the understated glamour Love from Ireland 👍 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I’m feeling that sailor dress. Wow! Love the sequin beauties too. I’ve been scooping up a few sequin dresses from the 80s ala Bob Mackie at thrift stores and loving them.
I love watching your videos and I learn so much! Your videos are a blessing and I remember watching your show as a little girl when my mom put it on the television! Please keep posting you bring us joy in these hard times thank you:)
Thank you so much Doris, I love your videos, your courage and strength during these awful times is truly amazing, Stay safe and Blessed from Australia, you are a true inspiration. 🤗🙏👍🧡💜
Hi Doris I love your videos and thanks for talk more about Norman Norrel. I love learning about influencers in fashion and I love your store I have never been there in person but one day I will go see it when I'm in LA maybe for the holidays I can buy myself something some the store online. Anyways Excellent video and thanks for teaching us about vintage fashion and fashion history
Indiana? Didn't Bill Blass come from Indiana too? Blass may need a second look as well. Back in my clothing dealer days I found one Norrell-Traina piece, a coat as I recall, those were the days, 80's/90's, when important designers labels could literally be found in thrift stores.
As a Bay Area girl, I like it when you ramble about your SF life. In the words of Robert Plant, "Ramble On".
Hello Doris!! I am a drag queen just getting into vintage fashion and your channel is incredible, and fascinating!! thank you for being a gem

Hey, Queens Gambit HAIR!!
🥰
traina as in danielle steele?
I wonder if such garments were made for single use.
👌🏾💕🌷👼🏿
💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💕💞💕💞💕💞💕
LOL for the one hater... HA!
4 GRAND for those dresses in the ‘60s & they couldn’t be bothered to sew the sequins on properly?! What a shame
Just wondering how much the Michelle Obama Norman Norell dress ended up fetching at auction---did anyone hear?
