One of fashion’s most prolific collectors, Sandy Schreier, owned 15,000 of the most significant garments of the century. She never wore a single one.
Evening Dress, Cristóbal Balenciaga for House of Balenciaga , summer 1961; Promised gift of Sandy Schreier.
Imagine being in possession of 15,000 of the most significant garments of the century and never wearing a single one—not zipping up that Cristóbal Balenciaga dress for dinner, not cinching into that Jean Dessès gown for the opera, not even trying out the Madeleine Vionnet number for a bout of fanciful dress up. Never.
Born in Detroit, Michigan, as Sandy Miller, Mrs. Schreier first developed a love for clothing in the Russeks department store, where her father was a furrier. “I always saw myself as a fashion savior,” said Ms. Schreier. “My passion for fashion as an art form drove me to search for the most innovative, creative, and breathtaking objects by well-known and lesser-known talents.
