Norman Norell (1900–1972)—the first American designer to employ couture techniques and luxurious fabrics—revolutionized New York’s Seventh Avenue and changed perceptions of American design. A role model to younger generations, Norell's elegant and practical collections included daytime suits, jersey separates, swing coats, and shimmering "mermaid" dresses. His clients included iconic figures such as Lauren Bacall, Babe Paley, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Today, Norell's dresses are still highly sought after by stylish women.
