While names such as Charles James, Oscar de la Renta, Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein are familiar, their once-eminent forebears have been largely erased from the canon of fashion history in the United States. From one of America's first couturiers, Jessie Franklin Turner, to Zelda Wynn Valdes, who dressed the likes of Josephine Baker and Ella Fitzgerald, the book captures the lost histories of the luminaries who paved the way in the world of American fashion design. Focusing on unsung female designers, the authors reclaim a place in history for the women who contributed to the rich tapestry of the industry as it stands today, including designers who dressed celebrities and socialites, and millions of fashion-conscious American women. This lavishly illustrated collection takes us from Hollywood to Broadway, from sportswear to sustainable fashion, and explores important crossovers between film, theater, and fashion, including couture, tailoring, millinery, costume, and accessory design. Uncovering fascinating histories of the design pioneers we should know about, the book enlarges the prevailing narrative of fashion history and will be an important reference for fashion students, historians, costume curators, and fashion enthusiasts alike. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 00 $g Part three: $t Vicky Tiel : a couturiere in Paris. $t Jessie Franklin Turner : an intimate affair -- $t Virginia Woods Bellamy : the poet as knitter -- $t Tina Leser : global vision -- $t Sandra Garratt and modular clothing -- $g Part two: $t Developing an industry. $t Marion McCoy and Pauline Fracchia : mid-twentieth-century originators -- $t Fira Benenson : the people's countess -- $t Helen Lee and Suzanne Godart : chic for children -- $t Nicki "Catherine Scott" Ladany : Chicago's empress of fashion -- $t Jean Wright : the "real" Lilli Ann -- $t Mollie Parnis : tastemaker -- $t Elizabeth "Libby" Payne : designing for Mrs. Main Street America -- $t Ruth Finley's "fashion calendar" -- $g Part three: $t Hollywood, Broadway, and Seventh Avenue. $t Viola Dimmitt : Los Angeles entrepreneur -- $t Kiviette : star performer -- $t Zelda Wynn Valdes : uptown modiste -- $t Vicky Tiel : a couturiere in Paris. 650 0 $a Fashion design $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women fashion designers $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women fashion designers $z United States $v Biography. 650 7 $a Fashion design. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01200123 650 7 $a Women fashion designers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177672 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Diehl, Nancy, $e editor. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017020021.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20190129010751.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AA565E34840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
