On the Avenue

"On the Avenue" is the perfect afternoon ensemble to enjoy a warm New York City day. The soft-green color is reminiscent of a minty ice cream parfait, sewn of breezy silk chiffon. A picture hat sprigged with flowers and a "pearl" hatpin shades her face. Gloves, matching strap sandals, and a necklace, bracelet and earrings of "peridot" stones and "gold" complete this lovely ensemble. Circa 1955. Designed by artist Tim Kennedy for the Gene Marshall Collection.
