Biographical History

Norman Norell, born Norman David Levinson, was often called the "Dean of American fashion". Know equally for his simple, extremely well-made, pared down day clothes and for his dramatic looks for evening, he had the rare ability to translate the characteristics of French couture into American ready-to-wear. Norell was the first designer to win a Coty American Fashion Critics Award (in 1943) and the first to be elected to the Coty Award Hall of Fame. Both Halston and Adolfo designed millinery to accessorize Norell's runway shows. Halston designed hats for Lilly Dache, and from 1959 to 1968 for Bergdorf Goodman. Halston received a Coty Award for millinery in 1962.
