Listen Later

During our annual winter hiatus, we bring you some of our favorite episodes from Dressed's back catalog. Today we revisit one of our past episodes with Elizabeth Way who joined us, on this occasion, to speak about her 2023 exhibition Ann Lowe: American Couturier, which was on view at the Winterthur Museum in Delaware.

Custom couturier to brides, debutantes and American socialites, including Jacqueline Bouvier and Marjorie Merriweather Post, The Saturday Evening Post once called Ann Lowe "society's best kept secret."

Recommended reading: Way, Elizabeth, ed. Ann Lowe: American Couturier, New York: Rizzoli Electra, 2023.
