“She had a sense early on of the importance of textiles in interior design. She also knew how to read a blueprint, and she had a very analytical perspective. In a different decade, she might have become an architect,” says Winton.In addition to her design expertise, Liebes could communicate it. She frequently appeared on television and in magazines, and mentored young weavers and designers in her studios in California and, later, New York.

Among highlights of the show are the brave — and bright — blue and green color combination in the first-class observation lounge of the ocean liner S.S. United States. There are the brilliant reds and blues of the first-class seating on American Airlines flagship 747; the glamorous textile backdrops of the 1947 film “Eastside, Westside”; and the dazzling upholstery of the 1957 Chrysler Plymouth Fury.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.Julia Bagan, who is part of a Facebook group called Southern California Equine Emergency Evacuation, found five horses locked in their stalls in Altadena one day after the fire. The horses huddled in a small exterior pen attached to the stalls but couldn’t entirely escape the flames.

By the time a neighbor called for help and firefighters used bolt cutters to free them, one of the horses was badly hurt, Bagan said.She drove through the remnants of the fire Wednesday night to rescue them as damaged power lines sparked overhead. She described it as “the most crazy, dangerous” evacuation she’s had yet. Almost all the houses in the area had burned when she pulled up.

The injured horse, a 3-year-old black mare she decided to name after the movie Flicka, had leg burns. Her halter burned off, along with her tail and mane. The embers gave her eyes ulcers.A veterinarian at an emergency equine hospital gave the horse 50-50 odds of surviving.
