Worth, Mainbocher: The Online Exhibition

Gentle Reader -

The Museum of the City of New York's exhibition of Worth & Mainbocher can be found here:

http://collections.mcny.org/C.aspx?VP3=CMS3&VF=MNYO28_2

Welcome to a period when fashion was once set by the collaborative effort of personal and professional taste. To get the most of this online exhibition, it's best to use the "magnify" option to get to the details.

Two items of note among the clothes:

Worth: a pale blue evening dress from 1866-67 (ref. 62.190.1A-C)

Mainbocher: a black day dress from 1947 (fall, ref. 58.123.3)

Enjoy!
