Managed to catch the Fall 2015 fashion exhibit of Jacqueline de RIbes "The Art of Style" by the Costume Institute at The Met before it closed. That lady has style!
The exhibit included many custom designed couture pieces (Christian Dior appears many times as a close friend) as well as pieces from her own collection. One room featured her amazing over-the-top costumes for masquerade parties and balls – epic details!
Loved her style, use of colors and many of the pieces would be on a runway even today – the true meaning of classic and timeless.
