Multiples Are Back?

 Remember Multiples by Sandra Garratt in the '80s? I never had them, but I wanted them BADLY. Of course, like everything I didn't have--a TV in my room, no one stopping me from watching PG 13 movies at the age of seven, Popples, etc.--my best friend at the time Rachel Schwartz did. And did we ever dress up in that shit like total HUSSIES. Of course, we didn't even venture out of her bedroom. I think if her younger brother even saw us rocking two tubes--one as a strapless top and one as a mini skirt--we'd have been incredibly embarrassed. But that didn't stop us from pretending we were getting ready for a night on the town.


So imagine my surprise to see this STRAIGHT UP MULTIPLE by Von Vonni that looks like it could have been a Sandra Garrat ORIGINAL. Are we back to modular dressing, dolls? What do we think?

  1. I was wondering the same thing, actually. I've been seeing so many companies that have a multiple style dress lately (Victoria's Secret comes to mind). You could technically even say something like DKNY's Cozy style is a multiple of sorts (there are so many ways to wear it). I haven't seen too many of the "is it a top?"/"is it a skirt?" tubes yet, but I know they are out there. Of course, that being said I think some of the multi-way items out there now are much better than the ones from Multiples. (This coming from a former Multiples wearer).

    Then you didn't see yet the talk of the town Cosabella The Tube.
    With 1 item you can practically make 14 styles and if you are creative even more.
