I’m helping my mother-in-law clear out her closet to make room for more treasures. She is a southern socialite with an eye for fashion (Valentino, Pucci, Bob Mackie, Carolina Herrera are faves). Each dress or suit from her collection was purchased in New York or Paris and worn once (rarely twice) to an Opera opening, arts event, or fundraising gala. Since then, they have been well preserved in a climate-controlled environment.
