 Designer Jean Paul Gaultier French

Not on view

Since garments with patterning or complex ornamentation are less easily combined into new ensembles than those of plain cloth and neutral color, much of Mrs. Kempner's collection is of solid hued fabrics. Her love of high-key effects, however, made for a substantial number of exceptions to this approach. Photographs of her in the 1960s are as likely to show her in a psychedelic print Pucci gown as in a Saint Laurent "smoking." Recent acquisitions that betray her fondness for beautiful prints include a boldly colored Jean Paul Gaultier gown
