A Piece of Fashion History:

This brooch isn't just a beautiful accessory - it is a documented piece of 1980s couture history. This oversized swirl design was the focal piece of Monet's iconic Autumn 1986 international advertising campaign, famously featuring  supermodel Carol Alt. Shot to celebrate the era's striking "power dressing" aesthetic, the archival image featured this dramatic brooch pinned to a black velvet bow against a crisp white collar. Perfect for vintage collectors and fashion enthusiasts alike.
