Bergdorf Goodman (New York, N.Y.)
Biographical notes:
Bergdorf Goodman began as a custom tailoring shop, known for its fine workmanship. A ready-to-wear department was added in 1923, but Bergdorf's continued to offer custom clothing and milinnery well into the 1960's. The retail shop was founded in 1901 when Edwin Goodman (1876-1953) joined the tailoring firm of Bergdorf and Voigt. In 1903, Goodman bought out his partner Herman Bergdorf and became the company's sole owner. In 1928 the retailer moved his store to 5th Avenue and 58th Street, where it still stands. Andrew Goodman (1907-1993) succeeded his father as President of the store in 1951 and remained active with the company until 1975, three years after it became part of the Broadway-Hale department store chain. Bergdorf Goodman subsequently became a division of the Neiman Marcus group.
