A truly spectacular and rare vintage Todd Oldham chain belt, created as a Fall 1996 runway sample. This extraordinary piece captures the maximalist glamour and theatrical artistry of Todd Oldham’s 1990s runway work, with an opulent mix of color, sparkle, movement, and archival fashion history.
The belt was created using vintage jewelry molds from the 1950s, reportedly discovered at a flea market and later reconstructed into entirely new forms. The result is a richly detailed, one-of-a-kind runway accessory composed of ornate medallions, jeweled links, and dangling decorative elements. Each section is covered in brilliant Swarovski crystals in vivid jewel tones.
The metalwork is 24kt gold plated and finished with ebonized detailing, giving the piece a beautifully aged, vintage-inspired look. The darkened accents enhance the ornate molded forms and create depth against the bright gold and sparkling stones, giving the belt a dramatic antique-meets-runway feel.
Designed as an adjustable chain belt, it can be worn higher at the waist or styled low-slung on the hips. The belt measures approximately 32 inches in length, with the largest medallion measuring approximately 4.5 x 4.5 inches, creating a bold focal point with incredible visual impact.
A rare and collectible Todd Oldham runway sample.
Please note: All sales are final. Due to the unique nature of these pieces.
