Copeland, Jo, 1899-1982.
Copeland was a designer of up-scale, ready-to-wear clothing remembered for her "after five" ensembles for dinner or the theater. While studying at Parsons School of Design, she was spotted by Rose Amado of Patullo Modes and brought into the firm as a design trainee and eventually a full time designer. After a brief venture with Ann Sadowsky in 1930, she returned to Patullo Modes and by 1936 the firm changed its name to Patullo-Jo Copeland. Copeland was one of the earliest designers to have her name on the garment's label and in advertising copy. In 1961, she received the award of Chevalier de l'Ordre Courtoise Français. After closing Patullo-Jo Copeland in 1970, Copeland accepted a position with Lisa Meril.
