The introduction to LACMA's exhibit begins with a quote by Wallace Stegner: "California's American, only more so." I think Margit Fellegi's little beach set for Cole featured in the exhibit reflects this perfectly. Designed for warmweather, with primary polka dots that suggest both innocence and streamlined modernity, the outfit is a celebration of a post-war lifestyle. Plus, it was mass produced for the lady sick of sewing.
