Hideous Fabrics for the Rich

Are you rich and want to wear something garish Lilly Pulitzer has designed something for you! Socialites and wanna be socialites delight in her bright flowery over the top fabrics and simple frocks. Starting as a juice stand in Palm Beach Lilly Pulitzer's clothing line became so popular it took over the shop and eventually juice was all but forgotten. Jackie Kennedy loved her simply cut dresses and skirts and bright fabrics making Lilly a household name in you live in a Palm Beach/Hamptons mansion.
Born into a wealthy family and marrying the grandson of famed publisher and prize giver Joseph Pulitzer Lilly had an entree to the clientele she served. Her clothing line and home fabrics became synonymous with wealth and preppy look.
Lilly Pulitzer died this week in her home in Palm Beach. She was 81.
