The major trends and most of the major American designers are included
in this collection: the opulence of the American Belle Epoque; the walking
suit and dusters; manufactured clothing including the early separates worn
by shop girls and society ladies (circa 1900), the avant guarde work of
designers such as Claire McCardell (1940s
and 1950s), Norman Norell (1940s-1970s)
and Rudi Gernreich (1950s-1970s); major couture
examples from the custom salons of the great American department stores
such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Henri
