Ingenue to Icon Display Change

With grand homes in Washington, Palm Beach, and the Adirondacks, Marjorie Post most frequently lived with an average temperature of seventy degrees. Yet her keen interest in fashion kept her styles up-to-date and reflective of the changing seasons.  The presentation of designer and couture outfits, cocktail dresses, and gowns in Ingenue to Icon is being presented in two segments, to provide a broad look at Post's style evolution while protecting the valuable garments from long-term exposure to light. The first, on view through September 27, features Post's summer and spring attire. The second, opening to the public on October 1, will display her most elegant looks from fall and winter.
