“…the gowns range from a high-necked, floor length black silk
work of engineering, made by Worth for Mrs. J.P. Morgan, Jr., in 1900,
to something Halston rustled up seventy-odd years later, featuring
a neckline so plunging that it’s practically a navel-line.
But, as was evidenced by a panel discussion
held at the museum recently, there’s one thing
that never goes out of style,
and that’s baffled older people
shaking their heads at the
incomprehensible ways
of kids today.”
