Glass House, a National Trust Historic Site, in New Canaan, Connecticut.
For the first time (in my memory at least), a National Trust Historic Site has inspired high fashion. Michael Kors has recently announced his pre-fall line-up (is that summer?) of a “wood-grain-print sheath dress, a three-quarters-sleeve cheetah-print balmacaan, and color-blocked cashmere sweaters” that were inspired by the Philip Johnson Glass House. An early review by the Glamazon Diaries calls it “all about the 70s” (hmm, perhaps they missed the point—Glass House was built in 1949). I do like Michael Kors’ designs, so I’m hoping this will mean he’s required in our dress code!
