# Murray Arbeid - A ladies pale pink duchesse satin strapless full length evening gown, embroidered with black chenille, with matching stole edged with a fringe of black chenille, sold with supporting correspondence between Arbeid and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC Note; Murray Arbeid (1935-2011) was a British fashion designer known for his evening wear whose notable clients included Princess Diana and Shirley Bassey. He once joked that if there was a Nobel prize for creations in taffeta, he would have won it. He was partner to Frederick Fox, and co-designed their house in Suffolk. This dress was designed for Mrs John Traina (Danielle Steele) and closely resembles a dress made for Elizabeth Drexel, Lady Decies, which now resides at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The original gown was produced by Charles Frederick Worth (1826-1895), an Englishman who established the first couture house in Paris in 1858. See website for extra images
