Defining Decades of Fashion: Nan Kempner 

Great sense of humor.

"There are no chic American women. The one exception is Nan Kempner." -Diana Vreeland

Nan Kempner is the epitome of you can never be too rich or too thin. She's deeply miss

She was so fabulous

She is fucking fabulous!

Such a chic lady

Her remark about Levi Strauss is telling that she grew up in San Francisco, California! The very home of Levi Strauss for generations.

I love her so rich thin athletic and nice i wish she was still around

Great Lady! When I started reading fashion magazines such U.S Vogue and Hapers Bazar and Town and Country and yes the New York Times fashion suplement(while attending the American School in Lisbon) I always was enchanted by Mrs Kempner. She wasn't a clotheshorse but simply a sophisticated lady with great taste. You are missed Mrs Kempner.

R.I.P-Nan Kempner.....A huge Couture client.

I looked forward to see her photographed by Bill Cunningham for Sunday STYLE selection... an era gone by. Nan always looked style +

She had so much beautiful clothes. They were able to have an exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in the costume exhibit for goodness sake!

The late Mrs. Kempner's ancestors were clothing manufacturers in New York, San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco, California. She was born into the business of women's style. R.I.P. Nan Kempner.

FABULOUS!

When her husband was going to leave her for his mistress, she told him shed take him for every cent he had. He didn't leave her. LOL.

I wish they had shown her in her clothes

Hard to believe she's been dead for almost 18 years now.

Nan had a ravenous cigarette addiction admitting she smoked 6 packs of cigarettes a day. Sadly it caught up with her in the early 2000's....Along with Louloudelafalise who smoked 4 packs a day.

very very rich it bought her alot of love and attention i shall treasure our time in the canoe, so long ago darling..

Very unplaisant and useless music

She managed to stay thin so she can get the sample sizes in discounted prices.

EXQUISITE

Hillary Clinton is the Most Chic Woman Ever 😂
