Raised in the Gilded Age, Post (1887-1973) developed a refined eye for handmade laces, intricate embroidery, custom dressmaking, and the tactile luxury of finely wrought textiles. She saved silk flowers, lace motifs, and decorative trims--small but powerful records of the artistry she admired. Her extensive holdings of linens, embroideries, and antique laces reflect an unwavering respect for textile heritage. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOffering fresh insight into the makers and materials represented in the collection, essays uncover links to such 1930s Parisian couture houses as Paquin and Marcel Rochas; examine the New York-Paris design pipeline that shaped twentieth-century style; and spotlight the work of immigrant, women-led ateliers whose craftsmanship helped define American fashion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs today's consumers confront the impact of fast fashion, Post's thoughtful approach to dressing--and her commitment to restyling, reviving, and rewearing items from her wardrobe--offers a timely model of sustainability, connoisseurship, and enduring style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Megan J.
