Raised in the Gilded Age, Post (1887–1973) developed a refined eye for handmade laces, intricate embroidery, custom dressmaking, and the tactile luxury of finely wrought textiles. She saved silk flowers, lace motifs, and decorative trims—small but powerful records of the artistry she admired. Her extensive holdings of linens, embroideries, and antique laces reflect an unwavering respect for textile heritage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOffering fresh insight into the makers and materials represented in the collection, essays uncover links to such 1930s Parisian couture houses as Paquin and Marcel Rochas; examine the New York–Paris design pipeline that shaped twentieth-century style; and spotlight the work of immigrant, women-led ateliers whose craftsmanship helped define American fashion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs today’s consumers confront the impact of fast fashion, Post’s thoughtful approach to dressing—and her commitment to restyling, reviving, and rewearing items from her wardrobe—offers a timely model of sustainability, connoisseurship, and enduring style.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuthored by Megan Martinelli\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e200 Pages \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: 8.9 x 0.96 x 11.31 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished by Rizzoli Electa (September 8, 2026)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rizzoli-Random House","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":54080819200195,"sku":"21643","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":54080819232963,"sku":"21644","price":57.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/7881\/8243\/files\/c330f40b-4e3d-4d3f-8c6e-f786e749af29.jpg?v=1787948104"}],"url":"https:\/\/store.hillwoodmuseum.org\/collections\/hillwood-publications\/books.oembed","provider":"Hillwood Museum Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
