American (2)

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 Bendel to the work of possibly American's greatest haute couturier, Charles James.
