By early 1956, Grace Kelly was said to have put her stamp on the fashions of the season, "starting to influence trends as few women have." According to Philadelphia's Sunday Bulletin of February 26, 1956, fashion followers could choose either the severe T-Square Silhouette or the Grace Kelly Look. The feminine charm of the latter look was illustrated by a Mollie Parnis ensemble, a red wool coat with fitted torso and softly full skirt paired with a white silk dress with red dots. The cut of the dress matched the lines of the coat, and the dress fabric was used for the coat's lining. The look was completed by a Hattie Carnegie white straw cloche and, of course, white gloves.

Miss Kelly's "clean-cut kind of beauty" and the Grace Kelly Look soon dominated the beauty industry, which stressed disarmingly understated makeup along with regular brushing and shampoo sessions to get "that polished, satining gleam simply-styled hair must have". While many women asked their hairdressers to give them Grace Kelly's hairstyle, not all women looked like the actress, clever hairdressers therefore softened the look with curls or bangs.

For the spring collection of 1956, two completely different feelings and silhouettes - the T-Square Silhouette and the Grace Kelly Look - had been endorsed by fashion designers and American women, said Kittie Campbell in Philadelphia's Sunday Bulletin on February 26, 1956.

INSIDE GRACE'S WARDROBE - BEN ZUCKERMAN III

Picture from the April 1955 Women's Home Companion, an article featuring Grace Kelly and how she is able to 'travel light'.

This is an ensemble, with a travel coat and suit, herringbone tweed, arrow straight, over a yarn-dyed worsted suit with easy skirt. Both from Ben Zuckerman. Miss Kelly will board the plane in those so it is not necessary to weigh them (as this article was giving hints on how to pack so as to avoid going over the 66 pound limit for international flights). The coat goes over everything in the wardrobe except an evening dress.

Ben Zuckerman was a favorite of Grace Kelly, she wore an ensemble by him when she arrived in Monaco to marry her prince. She also wore a suit from Zuckerman when she left New York to sail to Monaco and she also purchased a beige coat to wear during the week running up to her marriage.

Princess Grace was not the only royal fan of Ben Zuckerman. In 1964 the Duchess of Windsor attended a charity fashion show where a number of designers were showing their latest wares, including Mollie Parnis, Bill Blass, Pauline Trigere, Jerry Silverman and Ben Zuckerman. When Zuckerman sent out a lovely white cotton brocade evening suit, double-breasted with brass buttons, the Duchess cried out 'That is a lovely dress!'.

My Visit to the Designing Women Exhibit

I really enjoyed the exhibit “Designing Women: Fashion Creators and Their Interiors”. I personally love both fashion and interior design so this exhibit piqued my interest. The exhibit showcased female designers’ work alongside their working or living spaces. Oftentimes, there was a clear connection between the two.  Many of these designers’ garments were inspired by the influence of interiors in their own life. The exhibit displayed the transition in interior decoration styles over time, accompanied by the transition in fashion trends. I found it very interesting how there was a pendulum swing from comfort and relaxation to linearity and balance in the span of a century, which affected the preferred interiors of the time.

My favorite garments were the dresses from Louiseboulanger, the evening dress from Muriel King, the dresses from Mary Quant, and the ovoid jacket from Yeohlee Teng. My favorite interiors were the Biba store for its glamour and Mollie Parnis Livingston’s salon for its all-pink design. On a final note, I learned a lot from this exhibit and developed a better understanding of the relationship between the clothes we wear and the interiors we inhabit.
