From lavender petit fours to plates of chilled seafood, from golden roasted chickens to plump oysters, from a simple mushroom soup to a glistening bowls of figs – The Age of Innocence (which, rather surprisingly has been referenced here before) will make you fall in love – not with Daniel Day Lewis alone – but with glorious late 19th century rich people food.

Evidently high fashion looked to leisure activities such as skiing and tennis for inspiration, with utterly disturbing results. Pucci, who I have always admired for their tessellation design and criticized for their poor implementation of said repeats, was a major culprit in this odd abstraction of rich people fun.

150$ in 1979 was a lot for a ski suit. About 875$ in 2009 using the Relative GDP Calculator. Let’s be realistic though, I’d pay any amount to ski near that fella, yowza!
