I have this Bersace ( Istante) suit and I was wondering about it’s authenticity and a possible value ?

There really isn't a lot of value to items like this as far as I know. Maybe you can search EBay for some comparable items?

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your input.

You might be able to find a rodeo clown that needs a new outfit!

Or you get invited to a 70's disco party and need vintage clothing.

That is funny that guy with a picture of Oscar Wilde would try to ridicule another person. Grow up or come to Alabama for a quick education on what a rodeo clown can do !

I think you have a fair question about the value of an iconic fashion designer's garish vintage items. For current wear, I don't think it is very much. As a collectible or something for a museum - well as I said - unless they were actually his clothing or mint condition (as in new with tags unworn) I don't think there is much value. With regard to my comment, I went to a 70s disco party about 5 years back and struggled to obtain clothing - these items would have been very useful.

Hey, I like rodeo clowns!

And Oscar Wilde could only have imagined looking that good!

And, I'm a lot closer to growing under, than up. :laughing:

Finally, if you want to be mad at someone, you ought to get the number of the joker who sold you something that looks like that.

Ooo, an internet threat. How menacing.

Wonder what inspired that? :icon_scratch:

The points made are good though. If that is genuine, it's going to be old enough to have little value, if any. You can get circa 1980's Armani (Mani) suits on ebay for $10-$20.

And think objectively too: would you buy that suit? For any price? Slim/mod Mad Men suits had their moment recently, but that suit's era has not.

I assume nothing that requires anything beyond a 6th grade education.

Zing!

I love Alabama jokes.
