I work at the Chinese as a tour guide and I’ve become a historian through how captivating the history behind the theatre is. These photos with Jean and Sid are so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing.

Girlfriend of Nancy Reagan? So she wore Minnie Mouse Haute Couture, By Marc Bohan! Nothing to learn here: she certainly wasn't the kind of Diana Vreeland creative type. She was more the type of name dropping: Grace Kelly, Nan, etc. + charities: the way of avoiding taxes for the rich and powerful that destroyed the western economy. She probably is in Hell and she doesn't understand why: I did Charity! Why m I here?

Her comment on GF Ferre'aggravets me a lot: isn't HC supposed to be a dream that actually becomes adapt to your real needs and the world you live in? She was not capable to translate herself in his creations, and the reason could be she was getting old, or maybe she was just a rich American who needed to be lead to the dress: You should partecipate, as a client, to the creativity process, but she could not with Ferre': very telling about her nature! Not for nothing she held Bohan in great esteem... not somebody who could revolutionize anything made of fabric. She had money but she wasn't much more than a wearer: she would be ideal client of MGC & Virgine.

Don't be silly. Not every designer is meant for everyone. It didn't suit her.

Plastic women married to men who wanted a trophy wife. What a sad, pointless existence. High style? Hardly. Given endless amounts of money so many things are possible. But--if these pitiful creatures could create 'style' out of the bargain basement--that's more an achievement.

She spent her whole life buying expensive clothes and wearing them. What a waste of a life. She wasn't a designer, a muse, an artist, a philanthropist, activist. She did nothing with her privilege. She shopped.

All the rose colored glasses in these comments are sending me! Couturiers still exist, they're just not the same names as in the past. Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Hermes...they've all gone corporate and make most of their profits from perfume and cosmetics. None of them are true luxury brands anymore.

As much as I love fashion, they're just clothes. You have to wear clothes or you get arrested. I'm 71 and pretty much wear either old preppie or bohemian. I've kept my designer stuff but can't be bothered to wear them. Except...the shoes😅

I'm 60. I remember the big thick fall edition of Vogue, how we looked forward to it! I made most of my clothes and good fabrics were readily available. I haven't lost my desire for style but the lack of good fabrics is just so disappointing. I have a wealth of styles in my head, and a great many sketches but no fabrics to create them with :(

I worked as a coordinator for trunk shows at a high end luxury department store in Beverly Hills years ago. Whenever we had something for Oscar de la Renta, Valentino, Bill Blass, Christian Lacroix, Chado by Ralph Ricci Mrs. Bloomingdale would come in to see these collections and place an order. I would get excited to see clients like her instead of an a-list celebrity who usually drops by. I was always curious and anxious to see which looks she would order from these collections. It was fun to see how a haute couture client selects their picks from these designers. This gracious woman has devine taste and respect for couture with great style. For me she’s one of the all time best dressed socialites up there with Nan Kempner and Lynn Wyatt.

And of course, because she kept her slim figure, like the NY Swans, so she always carried the clothes beautifully. Nowadays, the women are doing surgery to get a better figure or exaggerate their bosoms and behinds. 😮

After watching this I wondered who her English mother was, so I read her Wiki page, and realised this docu only shows the good bits! When her husband died his long term on again/off again mistress sued his estate for palimony, as he had promised she would be taken care of for the rest of her life, but when he died Betsy cut her off. The said mistress was murdered before the suit ended, her estate was awarded $200,000. The mistress was also a drug addict and occasional prostitute, Alfred apparently had some really weird sexual preferences, like beating his partners with a leather belt! So as they say, "all that glitters is not gold", imagine getting into bed with that dude every night! Betsy also had legal woes with customs, as she had given the wrong prices for a collection of French couture gowns that she bought, so it might all look charmed on the surface.

Some people dressed very well, I think over time people realized much of what we did was unnecessary and uncomfortable, for example, men wearing suits to work. While in some professions and situations yes it made sense, I remember how uncomfortable it could be. I do agree that people do not take care as to how they look and that the dominance of youth culture sucks all the oxygen out of the room.
