In this Dress & Drinks program, viewers can expect to learn a great deal about the story of Marjorie Post, and those of dress at large, through the work of Megan Martinelli, Associate Curator of Textiles and Apparel, Jewelry, and Accessories at Hillwood Estate Museum & Gardens in Washington, DC. Post's sartorial choices reflect a growing American industry and how it was evolving to encourage native designers. While she could have afforded to wear major French couture designs, Post felt it important to support smaller dressmakers, largely first-generation immigrants to the US like Oldric Royce or Frances Spingold of Madame Frances. And in Post’s case, an in depth focus on one individual allows for great scope as well.
