There also are Liebes’ collaborations with fashion designers Clare Potter and Bonnie Cashin, revealing the frequent interplay between fashion and interior design.“There is nothing like what I call a ‘whameroo’ color to make the whole thing come alive,” Liebes told Potter when Potter said she loved the way Liebes would “inject something startling” in her work.

“Don’t be afraid of color,” Liebes said. “Color is heady stuff, and the more one lives with it (as the 20th century man does), the more one can digest. After all, it isn’t the color, but the combination of colors and values.”She was equally enthusiastic about infusing her work with flashes of bling, which she saw as something essential: “Glitter is what the sun does to grass, what light does to nature.”The idea of using small items like throw pillows to add pops of color to an interior is a direct legacy of Liebes’ influence, the curators say.

Some of Liebes’ early works include a Schiaparelli panel created for the 1937 Paris Exposition, and objects linked to the 1939 Golden Gate Exposition, where she began articulating her vision for the role of handcraft in modern design.The exhibit also showcases her contributions to creating dazzling public spaces on a budget by combining handwoven and power-loomed textiles. There are saturated brilliant colors and extensive use of metallics. Examples are the Persian Room of the Plaza Hotel (where textile panels were embedded with tiny lightbulbs); the Marco Polo Club at the Waldorf Astoria; and the Usonian Exhibition House, built on the site where the Guggenheim Museum now stands.

And Liebes helped create consumer goods, including tiles and wallpaper. She had a hand in industry’s development of synthetic materials, and worked to encourage their use by both top designers and consumers.

Lurex woven fabrics, for example, in dazzling jewel tones designed to look handwoven, were favored for swimwear and raincoats, as well as washable clothing.In a hearing last week called to address reports

had been sent to South Sudan, Murphy said the men hadn’t been able to argue that the deportation could put them in danger.But instead of ordering the government to return the men to the U.S. for hearings — as the plaintiffs wanted — he gave the government the option of holding the hearings in Djibouti, where the plane had flown on its way to South Sudan, as long as the men remained in U.S. government custody. Days later, the Trump administration filed another motion saying that Murphy was requiring them to hold “dangerous criminals in a sensitive location.”

Murphy, though, said it was the government’s “own suggestion” that they be allowed to process the men’s claims while they were still abroad.“It turns out that having immigration proceedings on another continent is harder and more logistically cumbersome than Defendants anticipated,” the Boston-based Murphy, who was appointed by Democratic President Joe Biden, wrote.
