label: Description
content: Collected because of designer label. Bud Kilpatrick was a California designer popular during the 1960s. Garments sold in Lord & Taylor and I. Magnin CA. In 1963, textile manufacturers brought out the "new naked wool," or sheer wool, as transitional fabrics, promoted to take the wearer through all seasons. Donor Virginia "Jimmie" Booth was a buyer for Lord & Taylor and was involved in Lord & Taylor's American Look program of the 1930s to 60s. She was married to H. Robert Booth of Hillandale Handweavers, which influenced her to promote American and European hand-loomed fabrics. Archival materials from Booth can be found in Archives Center collection NMAH.AC.0729.
