A Passion for Fashion
Like beautiful marble statuary,
the mannequins of the
Halston retrospective bid
farewell to the Nassau County
Museum, but not before being
visited by the NST Women’s Club,
Wednesday, June 28. Having previously
been prepped by docent,
Leslie Bomar, club members viewed
the mannequins in stages of pose,
portraying varying styles of fashion
designer Halston’s creativity, from
pants suits to ultrasuede ensembles.
The exhibit was enhanced
with photographs of Halston at
different times in his career, from
his early millinery beginnings to
his high-profile Studio 54 days.
The show was easy to navigate
and was a fitting backdrop for a
summer’s day outing. The trip was
well planned by Rosalie Goodman,
and the docent led tour gave club
members a comprehensive picture
of this fashion icon.
NEXT ON THE AGENDA…
HAVE A YEN FOR BEN’S?
Following the museum tour, the
Lunch Bunch co-chairs, Chickie
Kaufman and Eva Kessner,
arranged a repast at Ben’s
Delicatessen in Greenvale, a short
distance from the museum. Many
members attended this event with
more women taking advantage of
casual interaction with other club
members. So whether it’s politics
and pastrami, or corned beef and
conversation, it’s no baloney! All
members are invited to sign up for
Lunch Bunch opportunities in the
future.
I HEARD IT THROUGH
THE GRAPEVINE
A small wine and cheese party
took place June 27, with the gracious
hospitality of member Carol
Klinger, to give members another
chance for camaraderie in an
intimate setting. It was elegant,
low key and warm, thanks to Iris
Littman and Gloria Beck’s efforts
as well.
