A leitmotif of Mrs. Kempner's collection was the evening "column," a silhouette that displayed her lean proportions to advantage. An example is John Galliano's evening ensemble. Taking his inspiration from Christian Dior's 1947 "New Look" collection, Galliano shapes his halter into the hip-padded form of the iconic "bar suit" jacket
