VPOD: James Galanos American Luxury

With the fashion industry so focused on the outside, it's good to remember that it's what's on the inside that counts. No matter how beautiful a woman may appear to the eye, if she is nasty or mean-spirited her beauty will diminish the minute she opens her mouth. And James Galanos knew that what was on the inside counted, too. He established a reputation for creating garments whose insides were just as meticulously finished and beautiful as their outsides.

Today's VPOD, a 1980s wool dress, is a fine example of his excellent tailoring and is available for a stylish fashionista to call her own. But more than 120 other Galanos masterpieces are available as eye candy at Kent State University's exhibit, James Galanos American Luxury, which runs until March 1, 2009 on the university campus. If you're in my old stomping grounds of northeast Ohio, be sure to visit.

It's a Galanos treat for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Frock Vintage NYC.
