Couture highlights include two elaborate mantles, circa 1885, from the French designer Emile Pingat, a stenciled velvet caftan and a blue silk Peplos dress by Mariano Fortuny (est. $5,000–7,000), a legendary “Savage” wrap bathing suit designed by Halston in 1976, and two Rudi Gernreich Day Glo knit mini dresses with bikinis and booties which were featured on the cover of Time magazine in 1967.
