This 1960s Gucci tabletop cocktail bar made me do a double take.

It didn’t look like any Gucci I’d ever seen… until the logo changed everything.

I contacted the Gucci Archive, and they confirmed they have one in their own collection, dating it to the 1960s.

By then, Gucci had expanded beyond handbags into beautifully crafted pieces for the home. This tabletop cocktail bar is a fascinating example of that evolution.

Crafted in rosewood with leather trim, it’s a remarkable surviving example of Gucci’s early home designs.

Do you collect vintage Gucci beyond fashion? I’d love to hear about your favorite finds.

Everyone knows Francine is a little… different.

She insists she isn’t paranoid.

She says she was paying attention.

Tonight, she’s finally ready to tell her side of the story.

🎬 New episode of After Hours is now streaming (well… sort of).

Would you believe Francine?

Can a cargo skirt be luxury?

Phoebe Philo answered that question by reimagining everyday clothing through exceptional materials and thoughtful design.

Crafted in 100% silk crepe and made in France, this early Phoebe Philo-era Céline skirt transforms a utilitarian silhouette into something quietly sophisticated. It’s a reminder that great design isn’t always about adding more, sometimes it’s about refining what already exists.

An unworn collector’s piece with its original tags.

I have a feeling these two are going to be a problem. 😂

Happy Sunday!

Meet Francine 🤭

She recently transferred from a basic thrift store and… she’s adjusting.

She’s convinced every store has cameras. She’s not wrong. She’s just a little intense.

Welcome to the mannequin crew. Things are about to get weird(er). 😉

Bill Blass by Michaele Vollbracht. Spring 2004.

I recently discovered that this black cocktail dress was designed by Michaele Vollbracht during his tenure as Creative Director of Bill Blass. Knowing its history made me appreciate the design even more.

From the sculptural floral appliqués and sheer illusion neckline to the beautifully engineered inner corset, every detail reflects the refined elegance that defined Bill Blass during the early 2000s.

Happy Fanzine Friday!

Some thrift finds are obvious.

This one wasn’t.

At first glance, it looked like a simple white leather wristlet sitting on a thrift store shelf for $15.

Then I noticed the details.

The lambskin. The quilted back. The CC zipper charm. An authenticity card tucked inside. A matching serial number hidden inside on the lining.

One clue led to another.

My research dated it to 1996–1997, during Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel era, and professional authentication confirmed what the evidence had already suggested.

After a careful cleaning and conditioning by Leather Spa NYC, this little thrift store find was ready for its next chapter.

That’s what Monalisa Fanzine is all about.

Not just the things I find…

…but the stories hidden inside them.

Next issue: the $8 Valentino gown I almost walked past.

Some people believe everything happens for a reason.

Cracked Cathy has a different theory. 😏

If you’ve ever watched one of my mannequin reels, you already know she’s not exactly the inspirational type.

What’s your vote: fate or poor planning? 😂
