Numerous celebrity garments from the wardrobes of Marlena Dietrich, Julie Andrew, Dinah Shore, Clodette Colbert and Mona Bismark are out of the Museum's storage by popular demand. Fashions from the house of Dior, Chanel, Lacroix and other European designers are displayed side by side with such American favorites as Halston, Galanos, Bill Blass, Donald Brooks, Adele Simpson and Adrian.
