D.D. Ryan's Estate, Part 3: Clothes

[OK. This is my third and final D.D. Ryan post. I swear.] Among the many, many beautiful pieces in D.D. Ryan's collection (she favored designers Halston, Pucci, and Ossie Clark), you'll find tons of bold prints, unusual textures, and super-bright colors.

These were quite clearly clothes intended for play (one can only imagine the event that required an outfit like this three-piece gold lamé number), but there's also a selection of classic, clean-lined items that were made to last, like this red Halston work suit and these beautiful, equestrian-chic Mainbocher jackets. You can also check out rolls of original '60s fabric.
