I’m so glad others enjoyed the book too. It’s nice to see her getting the recognition she deserves, even after many decades. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/claire-mccardell#post-2407425 Sun, 01 Mar 2026 03:45:34 +0000 Jaime 2407425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I loved that article and there is an older Dressed episode that first introduced her to me a few years ago.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://ope"></a>(I am having a hard time finding the link right now but it was on Dressed the Podcast.)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/claire-mccardell#post-2407390 Sat, 28 Feb 2026 19:16:01 +0000 Lisa 2407390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, indeed her designs are quite modern. How talented! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/claire-mccardell#post-2407351 Sat, 28 Feb 2026 04:59:10 +0000 Jenni NZ 2407351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>“Alligators, Old Mink and New Money: One Woman’s Adventures in Vintage Clothing”. Think her store was called Hooti Couture, sadly closed now. Totally fab name. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/claire-mccardell#post-2407350 Sat, 28 Feb 2026 04:13:39 +0000 Suz 2407350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Carol </b>-- yes, my collar bone is slowly healing, but IJon do not recommend this injury to anybody! :)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Jenni,</b> that sounds like a great book, too! I will look it up!</p> <p><b>Jonesy, cat2</b> -- I did not know about the Tory Burch collection. Off to check it out! Thank you!</p> <p><b>Ms. Maven, Irina</b>, yes, wasn't that a fun and interesting read? I'm glad <b>Janet </b>mentioned it to us.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Inge, Angie</b> -- thank you!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/claire-mccardell#post-2407348 Sat, 28 Feb 2026 03:52:11 +0000 Carol 2407348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did not know about her until Janet and you mentioned her. Read the article, and will listen to the podcast if I have time. I remember about the pockets, the modern shapes...but my favorite photo is that red dress with its precise set of side fasteners. I enjoy things that are elevated, but not over designed!&nbsp;</p> <p>By the way, Suz--I think you had recently hurt your arm. I missed out on that post, but I hope it is getting better.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/claire-mccardell#post-2407345 Sat, 28 Feb 2026 03:24:42 +0000 Jenni NZ 2407345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, heard about her about a decade ago in the fab book by Alison Houtte about her vintage store in Brooklyn. She tried to get some of the clothing to sell. Great link Suz, thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/claire-mccardell#post-2407336 Sat, 28 Feb 2026 00:50:03 +0000 cat2 2407336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one of the Tory Burch Claire McCardell dresses.

I read it last year. I'm old enough to remember articles and features about Claire McCardell. She was a great, positive influence on women's fashion.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/claire-mccardell#post-2407318 Fri, 27 Feb 2026 21:56:24 +0000 Irina 2407318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks,&nbsp;<b>Suz<br /></b>And thanks to&nbsp;<b>Janet</b>, I’ve read the book and enjoyed it!<b><br /></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/claire-mccardell#post-2407311 Fri, 27 Feb 2026 19:55:43 +0000 Jonesy 2407311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! I love Articles of Interest, so I'll be eager to hear. Tory Burch did a fairly recent collection directly inspired by Claire McCardell, which was pretty awesome.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.toryburch.com/en-us/runway/runway-spring-2022/">https://www.toryburch.com/en-u.....ring-2022/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/claire-mccardell#post-2407307 Fri, 27 Feb 2026 19:16:52 +0000 Angie 2407307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW!
