The key to making the mod mini work for holiday lies in staying with basics. Too many accessories, belts and necklaces can interfere with the ingenious simplicity of the look.
Here the Azzaro Esquisse Mini-Dress is so dazzling we want to hang it on a tree. About $2070. Loris Azzaro's ability to take simple line and make it the ultimate in glamor was legion throughout the 1970's. Vanessa Seward has taken up the reins for the label and has been creating collections in keeping with Azzaro's glamorous roots. She says, "Mr Azzaro's sole concern was how to turn heads when a woman walks into a room, and what woman doesn't want that."
We've accessorized our Esquisse dress with a vintage cocktail ring from the early 1980's (about $390), and a pair of Jimmy Choo Atlas Patent Sandals (about $750).
