I also saw those earrings--very costumey. I feel like good taste is timeless.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-peggy-guggenheim#post-2399478 Sun, 23 Nov 2025 01:41:48 +0000 Jaime 2399478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic post Carol! Thank you so much for sharing. Those pictures are amazing! I am intrigued by her earrings in #2 - they look like 2025 to me. I knew Angie would fall for #5 - such an amazing shot and with the dogs on the gondola. I could go on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-peggy-guggenheim#post-2399464 Sun, 23 Nov 2025 00:17:12 +0000 Carol 2399464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>avicennia--Isadora Duncan--had to refresh my memory. The scarf looks like it may be...a story? The earrings are great, and good thing she has her hair up!&nbsp;<br />Angie--thank you. I did think of you when I saw the doggies--they look similar to yours. Any time in Venice is a good time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-peggy-guggenheim#post-2399460 Sun, 23 Nov 2025 00:00:10 +0000 Angie 2399460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing, <b>Carol</b>! Gorgeous photos. And you tell a great story. Well written :)&nbsp;</p> <p>My heart is with #5! Two doggies on a gondola in Venice wearing turquoise and red. That's a good life.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-peggy-guggenheim#post-2399449 Sat, 22 Nov 2025 20:25:18 +0000 avicennia 2399449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for sharing. She was striking. The Calder earrings are quite something — I wonder if they got her tangled up? It made me think of Isadora Duncan and her long scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-peggy-guggenheim#post-2399444 Sat, 22 Nov 2025 19:01:40 +0000 Carol 2399444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A titan of the 20th century art world in Europe and the United States, with her own museum in Venice, Italy (Peggy Guggenheim Collection), and niece of Solomon R. Guggenheim, founder of the Guggenheim Museum in New York City.&nbsp;</p> <p>Firmly entrenched in bohemian societies on both continents, she used her legacy to promote the avant-garde. Sometimes that involved wearing items designed by artists, like the A. Calder earrings, and the E. Melcarth butterfly sunglasses.</p> <p>My favorite looks were earlier--her skirt suits best of all. There was something Grecian there--the kind of weighty fabric and cuts worn by Martha Graham with sandals.&nbsp; Severe, but unassuming. Commanding attention, but not menswear. Even her evening gowns seemed designed for working (networking)--simple shifts with just enough jewelry to identify her wealth--hair swept back so the eye draws up to her face.</p> <p>Curious is that all these photos look as if they were posed. They probably were, but don't feel so. You can see how still she sits, like a catalog model receding into her own planes and torque.&nbsp; Respectfully waiting for the right shot, so that the vital elements of her costume and surroundings may be captured.&nbsp; </p>
