Fashion designer. She was one of the first female fashion designers to own her own company, and her use of synthetic "furs" made expensive looking clothes affordable. She was also one of the few fashion designers to actually sew her own creations. Her logo can still be seen on clothing, especially synthetic fur coats, all over the country. It can be spotted almost immediately as it portrays a spool of thread spelling out her name, with a needle at the end. She retired in the early 1970's after being diagnosed with cancer and died shortly afterwards.
