RIGHT: In 1978, New York designer Anthony Muto was quoted saying: “I’m interested in making clothes that look like `this season’ but don’t go out of style next season; I think things should last.” Muto relied on classical draping to give his ‘Marita’ fashion collections this timeless quality. Virginia fashion leader, Mrs. Josephine Schwarzschild, wore this classically-inspired Marita ensemble. Mrs. Schwarzschild co-owned and ran the high-end women’s specialty store, Schwarzschild’s, Inc., in Staunton with her husband, Gustavus Morris Schwarzschild, Jr. (1910–1980), for more than 30 years.
