This 6-pillar curriculum teaches the basic literacy we need to be personally and financially successful and to do so in a manner in which together we evolve a culture that supports the emergence of an advanced human civilization.

The theme of the rarefied world of New York socialites in the 1970s is being explored in the second season of the ongoing TV series Feud. This season’s story, “Capote vs. The Swans,” portrays the rise and fall of a gossipy relationship between Truman Capote and some of Manhattan’s most prominent rich and famous, who he infamously satirized.
San Francisco, the West Coast’s center for the moneyed elite, has provided a different look at the lives of socialites through an art show that showcases collections from Northern California. The exhibition, titled Fashioning San Francisco: A Century of Style, has just opened at the de Young Museum.
Nina,
I am going to try to make that journey to SF to see this exhibit for sure! But I probably won’t be standing in front of the AI mirror to “wear” the gown. lol
I can attempt to construct one for myself, time to shop for printed silk taffeta, silk velvet and shimmery lurex fabrics…; )
Thank you for your articles. They always bring me joy and a little bit of FOMO.

Thanks for this article Nina! As a native San Franciscan it’s nice to see some of our history represented in such a fashionable way. I treasure a box from Gump’s from my grandparents who immigrated to SF in the 1920’S. It’s a mystery as to what originally came in that box but happy to have it as a memory of Gump’s!
