A note from Rachel...
I first fell in love with Francine Dressler in my Grandma Ann's bathroom in Fort Lee, NJ. Grandma Ann's powder room (since redone in tonal corals) was jet black, ivory, and gold. Peeing in there felt like being in a glamorous panther's den, it was exquisite. There was just one 'pop of color' in the den and it was in a piece of art hanging on the wall adjacent to the shiny black toilet ('shitter', for those of you reading this on the upper east side). The piece, titled 'I'll Be Wearing a Red Carnation', was mostly black and white, with naked (naked!) women in rows, big smiles on their faces. One of every few women was sporting a red carnation just above her boobs. At the bottom was a signature: 'Francine Dressler, November 11th, 1979'. Jack and I loved it so much. When we were young, the boobs were hilarious. As we got older, we started to appreciate it as a true Grandma Ann talisman. We began wishing each other a 'Happy Francine Dressler Day' every November 11th (this is still in my calendar).
In 2013, I asked Grandma Ann if I could borrow the Dressler for a shoot. Taking it off the wall felt irreverent, like grabbing a Torah from the ark at the wrong time.

Understated glamour is nice. Glamour so unrestrained it borders on camp? Divine! This elusive combination of class and spectacle is perfectly encapsulated in the effervescent danger of a champagne tower, and so we perfectly encapsulated the champagne tower on our newest Gwen. Bubbly opalescent beads float across a festive still life of stacked coups, coming to rest on the adjustable straps, while a pleated bust, A-line silhouette, and subtly shiny ballet pink taffeta balance the sweet with chic. Pair with a metallic platform and a tiny clutch, then head to your frenemy’s NYE party and divert attention from her all night long!
