This embroidered top, by American designer Carolyn Schnurer, epitomizes the designer’s whimsical sportswear. Fashion editor Diana Vreeland, who styled this top in an editorial for Harper’s Bazaar (December 1952), once said that “fashion must be the most intoxicating release from the banality of the world.”
