The Goddess Known as Nan

WWD has done a fun little piece today on the illustrious Nan Kempner.

If you don't know her, she is the ultimate lady who lunches.  (She was painted by Warhol for goodness sake.) And was an impeccable party gal until her death. Here she is with Yves St. Laurent. 

When asked by NY Mag in 2004, how she fills out customs forms she said, “I’m not rich enough to be a real philanthropist. And I loathe being called a socialite. So I write ‘housewife.’” Get it gurl!

 

Originally from San Francisco, Nan was a dedicated patron of the arts, loved fashion and was generally considered to be perfection, by me. 

Check out the article of great quotes by Nan. And in her own immortal words don't forget, “... when you accept an invitation, you’re taking on a commitment. You've got to be just as attractive as you know how to be — because you’re not just another face or pair of legs. You’re there to help the gang get cracking.”— The Observer, 2001
