Doris Kaplan was not only the first female student to graduate with a mechanical engineering degree from Washington University, she also has been saving her clothing since. As our guest fashion editor, Kaplan unveils her vintage clothing and hat collection.
Doris Kaplan: "My style is eclectic, and I like to be en vogue with clothes. I have always loved hats - since it was the style to wear hats and gloves. I just couldn't give them up."
PAPPAGALLO HAT
"I wear this in springtime. I love to put hats on, and this is a darling one."
VINTAGE HAT
"I like the color and the way the feather is displayed - it's very simple."
VINTAGE
HANDBAG
"My husband gave this to me when I was pregnant with my son, who is now 57 years old. I can't get rid of it, it goes everywhere with me."
VINTAGE HAT
"This is the piece de resistance of cocktail hats. The feathers have stayed in place and the color is magnificent."
VINTAGE HAT
"I love the shape - it's really a 1940s hat. I love the way it dips; it's a very sexy garden hat."
KA KY CO. HAT
"This is my very latest hat - I bought it online. I wore it to Pique-nique (sur la Baie) and it was perfect."
VINTAGE
CALDERON
DRESS
"This velvet is fantastic. The dress is romantic and slimming - it reminds me of Switzerland, because I wore it to a formal there a long time ago."
AFTER FIVE
VINTAGE DRESS
"I wore this to a friend's daughter's wedding and never got rid of it. That was 30 years ago! It's an exciting dress - I wear it with pearls and long white gloves."
