    Great Lady! When I started reading fashion magazines such U.S Vogue and Hapers Bazar and Town and Country and yes the New York Times fashion suplement(while attending the American School in Lisbon) I always was enchanted by Mrs Kempner. She wasn't a clotheshorse but simply a sophisticated lady with great taste. You are missed Mrs Kempner.

    Her remark about Levi Strauss is telling that she grew up in San Francisco, California! The very home of Levi Strauss for generations.

      Yes but she thought San Francisco was provincial and fuddy duddy which it is fashion wise and she preferred New York.

    The late Mrs. Kempner's ancestors were clothing manufacturers in New York, San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco, California. She was born into the business of women's style. R.I.P. Nan Kempner.
