, about Mrs. Mellon’s legacy, her views on fame, her relationship to art and design, and much more. Read the full interview below.Bunny was just another parent when Eliza Lloyd [Mellon’s daughter] and I went to Foxcroft as freshmen in 1956. Only after Christmas, when she took the two of us to a Broadway musical that spoofed Broadway musicals, did I first glimpse Bunny’s understated wit and her playful world.
Two spring to mind: “Never look back”—this from the least self-analytical woman ever—and “I know what I want to get done,” something that allowed her to cut through the mass of choices life gave her, for good and for bad. Her relationship with Balenciaga was reverential; with Schlumberger, romantic; with Givenchy, she wavered between wanting more of the man’s heart, soul, and body and taking him as what he truly was: her best friend.
Bunny was hampered by being born in 1910, when women of her class, for the most part, did not appear in public or as professionals. Her husband Paul’s intense need for privacy—and her own—held back both public recognition and the opportunity for other jobs. What she said at the end of her life, when a neighbor asked her what to do about her gardens and landscape, was to “keep it simple,” and that was what she did for herself.
