Vicky Tiel Vintage Couture Victorian Ensemble
Victorian inspired, this Parisian vintage velvet jacket and skirt ensemble makes for a fabulous statement outfit or historical costume. Designed and handmade by designer Vicky Tiel, this couture piece is a collectible and totally wearable. Large puffed out sleeves make for a luxe Renaissance regency feel, and ruffled pleated silk taffeta accents the collar and skirt. Similar pieces from Vicky Tiel go for well above $1000.
Vicky Tiel is best known for her ultra-sexy, form-fitting draped designs, executed in luxury fabrics and crafted in the manner of the couture. After graduating from the prestigious Parsons School of Design in New York, she moved to Paris where she joined Louis Feraud’s design team. She has since opened a boutique in Paris in partnership with her friend Elizabeth Taylor, where she continues to cater to her high-profile clientele. (source: Vintage Fashion Guild)
