    Great Lady! When I started reading fashion magazines such U.S Vogue and Hapers Bazar and Town and Country and yes the New York Times fashion suplement(while attending the American School in Lisbon) I always was enchanted by Mrs Kempner. She wasn't a clotheshorse but simply a sophisticated lady with great taste. You are missed Mrs Kempner.

    She had so much beautiful clothes. They were able to have an exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in the costume exhibit for goodness sake!

    Her remark about Levi Strauss is telling that she grew up in San Francisco, California! The very home of Levi Strauss for generations.

      Yes but she thought San Francisco was provincial and fuddy duddy which it is fashion wise and she preferred New York.

    The late Mrs. Kempner's ancestors were clothing manufacturers in New York, San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco, California. She was born into the business of women's style. R.I.P. Nan Kempner.

    When her husband was going to leave her for his mistress, she told him shed take him for every cent he had. He didn't leave her. LOL.

    Nan had a ravenous cigarette addiction admitting she smoked 6 packs of cigarettes a day. Sadly it caught up with her in the early 2000's....Along with Louloudelafalise who smoked 4 packs a day.
