About the Item

Such a beautiful suit by Los Angeles designer who designed for Fist Ladies (Regan and Ford) and many Hollywood celebrities and Beverly Hills Ladies who lunch. This suit is one of a kind, custom made. The cardigan style jacket is beaded with sparse sequin for a little bling. Hand done keyhole buttonholes in black. Same black trim on jacket pocket edges. Very heavy jewelry like black jet buttons on the jacket front and cuffs. (The buttons are spectacular!) The other special feature is the black and white silk jacquard lining! Size 8. David Hayes runs very true to size. Skirt measurements: waist: 32”. Length: 22”. David Hayes (1931-2019) was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. After serving in the US Marines he moved to Los Angeles to become an actor. After some success in that field, he became interested in fashion, and enrolled at UCLA, where he received a degree in Fashion Design. He began his fashion career in the 1970s as lead designer for DeGraff of California. After 7 years there, he established his own label, and by the early 1980’s, his suits, dresses and evening wear were being carried by upscale department stores like Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. Hayes’ designs were popular with the Hollywood elite. His client list was a Who’s Who that included Audrey Hepburn, Zsa Zsa and Eva Gabor, Estée Lauder, Sophia Loren and Joan Collins. He was widely known as First Lady, Nancy Reagan’s favorite designer. In 1981, he was inducted into the Los Angeles Fashion Hall of Fame, and he continued to flourish into the early 2000s, when he relocated from downtown to a lavish new studio and showroom in Beverly Hills.
