On August 9, Southern California's Palos Verdes Art Center opened its Loving Lilly exhibit, paying tribute to fashion designer and socialite Lilly Pulitzer, who passed away, at age 81, in April 2013. Pulitzer left behind three children and a legacy of brightly colored shift dresses that made her both a commercial and cultural success. The late designer brought the fun of Palm Beach to all of America, with patterns and designs that have now become iconic. On display through September 29, Loving Lilly capsulates decades of Pulitzer prints from clothing collector Keni Valenti's personal collection.
The exhibit features classic Lilly designs, like the red and white shift dress shown here on the designer, amassed by three decades worth of printed clothing.
