It's tough to choose between so many incredible pieces from history, but I think I'd go for one of these dresses (probably Eva's) from Dior Couture Fall 2005. So opulent yet light, and the first collection I saw that sparked an interest in fashion.
 
In terms of things I might wear and wouldn't want just to collect/for exclusivity purposes, I've always wanted the vast majority of pieces (but specifically the jackets... I won't choose just one!) from Dolce & Gabbana's F/W 2006. You can find them for semi-reasonable prices. Maybe I'm blinded by nostalgia, but I love it even now. I think it's beyond sexy and old-fashioned in the most appealing, unsubtle way. That was one of the first times, as a teenager, I was drawn to a menswear collection/show.

Not so much a dream item since I’m not consumed by it nor really covet it, but if by chance, someone’s in a generous mood: Hermes Haut a Courroies in matte Ebene Porosus croc— the biggest version, please. Just the sheer force of decadence with carrying a bag this ridiculously expensive is the fevered dream of luxurious pointlessness. And I wouldn’t be precious with it either: Grocery shopping with it as a grocery bag after work would be a regular routine.

(...I think everyone knows what the bag looks like. No need to post a pic... LOL...)
 
Something I can wear almost on a daily basis? Like a Chanel little black jacket? Or a black Chanel 2.55 in 225 size?

Very basic b*tch I know but these days I am looking more at practicality rather than searching for a “Wow” factor

Good choices - I was definitely thinking of the "Wow" factor in my original post; I'd put it on a mannequin and just stare at it haha.

If I had to think practically, I'd still love one of Burberry's shearling aviator jackets from Fall 2010...

Hmmm… if I am looking for a “Wow” factor and something I can wear occassionally...

It gonna be one of the pieces from Alexander McQueen Fall 2010 “Angels and Demons” collection (in fact I will need an entire look to put it on a mannequin and stare at it all day long) :P

It’s insane to ask us for ONE item @nationalsalt ! I have a whole wishlist lol.

Because I’m in a very end of the year celebratory mood and because it’s something I would wear forever, I would say this Chanel Haute Couture velvet ensemble with 3D camelia embroideries and this Balenciaga FW2009 look (without the shoes).

Now, if we are talking « Wow » piece that would Throne like Art in my house and make me smile every morning, probably this red embroidered ensemble from my beloved Chanel Haute Couture FW2006

I have some bags, shoes and Haute Joaillerie in that wishlist. A whole mess.
