Browsing Vintage Stephen Sprouse

September 18, 2013 by WendyB

If I had a zillion dollars, I’d add these two pieces to my Stephen Sprouse collection. I love neon, leopard and Sprouse, so a neon leopard coat by Sprouse blows my mind.

Vintage 1980s Sprouse coat. $1,400 on 1stdibs.com. Click for more information.

And I’ve always pined for the original Keith Haring skirt that Madonna wore in her “Borderline” video, but I guess I would settle for this crazy 1988 Haring/Sprouse pouf dress.

I won’t be getting an $8,500 dress, unfortunately. Click for more information on 1stdibs.com.

While I won’t be getting either of these pieces, it’s clear from my taste that I won’t be starting one of those minimalist, “it’s my uniform,” capsule wardrobes either!

      Right? I’m obsessed with Keith Haring lately.

    “Loud and bright” is a uniform, right?

      Okay, so I CAN have a uniform!

    Wendy, your style is the Anti-Uniform. 😉 It works for you though, and you know what they say about if it ain’t broke….

      Actually, I would LOVE to wear a Pucci air hostess uniform, especially if I got the bubble hat! http://www.braniffpages.com/1965/1965.html

    The closest thing that I have gotten to Sprouse was when Target had a Sprouse summer collection. I got a hat, flip flops and a “USA” t-shirt. I have coveted Madonna’s skirt since the first time I laid eyes on it!

    You know me and my lack of wardrobe color, but I’m kind of into that dress!

      It does have black in it!

    Ha ha! I was just going to suggest that if you did decide you wear uniforms you would take it to the next level, as per your reply to déjà pseu.
