In Fashion: Selections from the GW Collection

August 8 – October 27, 2019 Tues–Sun 1–5 p.m.

Fashion designers and fashion purveyors can become synonymous with their designs: a little black dress, a handbag or a scarf that everyone is suddenly wearing, but the face of the designer who created that fashionable piece might never be known.
