Elinor and Marianne Get a Fitting: Sarah Flint Designs Around Austen's Sisters

Sarah Flint's new collaboration takes its cue from Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, the two sisters at the heart of "Sense and Sensibility." It's tied to a new screen version of the Austen novel that hasn't come out yet, with Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles in the lead roles. Fashion has always loved a costume drama, but here the design starts with two specific characters: one ruled by her head, the other by her heart. For readers from Palm Beach to the Hamptons, Austen remains the best guide to dressing for the occasion, and Elinor and Marianne get plenty of occasions.
