Golly, I hope the family’s not hard up for cash and that’s why they’re doing it. If so, the Lauders or the Zilkhas should snap them up for the Met’s Costume Institute no? Maybe they will. Here’s hoping.

I wonder if the Poiret fashioned the scarf that the Duncan was wearing that unfortunate day in the convertible?
It is nice to see that Alaia is hosting the exhibit.

“But in 1911 he [Poiret] also created the hobble skirt which freed the waist but confined the ankles, forcing women to walk in tiny steps like Japanese geishas.”
My father is 86 and just old enough to remember women in hobble skirts. He said they had a terrible time trying to get into streetcars - they’d have to turn their backs to the steps and sort of hop up backwards. Just a reminder that idiocy in fashion is not a recent phenomenon.
Kim, I hope the Costume Institute grabs them too - I need another excuse to go to New York soon ;). Failing that, I hope they at least put out a catalog.
