Barcelino Per Donna Alberto Makali Evening Gown Fashion Print Ad 2007 2000s

Barcelino Per Donna is courting the holiday-party shopper, presenting designer Alberto Makali's cocktail and evening gown collection. A model with a sleek updo and drop earrings poses against a copper studio backdrop, one hand at her collarbone, wrapped in a floral velvet-burnout dress with a beaded clutch and sequined shawl. The pitch is occasion dressing as theater, the red-carpet polish that boutiques sold in the 2000s. It is a boutique ad for three West Coast locations rather than a national brand, which gives this 2007 page a regional society-page charm.
