ABOUT THE DESIGNERIconic Mod era design for the grown-up set - that's Chester Weinberg.Not as well known as Oscar de la Renta or Geoffrey Beene, Weinberg was an influential American designer in the late 1960's and early 70's whose clothing has become highly collectible today. He built his reputation on simple elegance, and his designs were always worked in beautiful fabrics. "Fabrics set the whole mood of my collection. I cannot design a dress until I know what the fabric will be.”
I purchased this Mink Coat from the estate of Andrew Morgan Maree 111 in Fallbrook, California.He was a Business Manager for the Entertainment Industry and Financial Counselor to most Major Hollywood Stars from 1953 to 1987
His clients included Humphrey Bogart, Robert Taylor, Walter Pidgeon, Dick Powell, David O. Selznick, Natalie Wood, Ava Gardner and Nancy Sinatra.
The name Gloria Stewart is Engraved Inside the fur coat.Gloria Stewart was Actor Jimmy Stewarts wife...I wonder ifit is possible that it was her coat, given as a gift to the Maree family?
