Saks Holiday Catalog - 2000 The Eveningwear

As I was browsing through my magazine collection this morning looking for inspiration, I came across the Saks Fifth Avenue Holiday Preview catalog from 2000. While not technically vintage, I do think it is interesting to see what Saks and the designers were showing 10 years ago. Eveningwear was heavily skewed to separates instead of dresses or evening gowns. And this simple but elegant outfit led off the entire catalog.

Kors Michael Kors black turtleneck and double face wool magenta skirt. Set sold for $520 in 2000.

Victor Costa for Saks Couture Fashions black glitter on tulle strapless gown. Sold for $825 in 2000.
