Cream of the Cropped on eBay
While browsing eBay, this graphic, cropped jacket from Versace’s Versus line caught my eye. Gorgeous jacket, right?

The title could have easily said “Versace Versus,” which would have been honest while…

Meet Mr. Dino

According to the Vintage Fashion Guild, the business was owned by Max Cohen, who designed all the prints himself. Cohen’s wife, a fan of Dean Martin, came…
