Iceblossom, I agree, your story is great. Yes, I do remember Gunne Sax!
This thread reminds me of my other hobby...vintage jewelry. I have a little Etsy shop that sells costume pieces and it always surprises me what people like. I'm now a senior, so to me, vintage is something from the 40s, 50s and swinging 60s. An early Givenchy piece from 1952-1970 will have me swooning. His height, IMHO, was when he designed for the movie, Breakfast At Tiffany's. After all, Audrey Hepburn was his muse.
But, someone much younger loves, loves, loves that cheaply made stuff that the Givenchy company made in the 80s, or 90s...yuck! It's made so poorly and doesn't even reflect Hubert de Givenchy's esthetic. Go figger.
