Nina Hyde collection, 1914-1996.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/658808829

This collection consists of files kept by Washington Post fashion writer Nina Solomon Hyde (1932-1990). Hyde worked at the Post from 1972 to 1990, and most of the content lies within these dates. However, some material refers to events prior to 1972 (including items from Hyde's previous job at the Washington Daily News) and it appears that the files were maintained after her death, as there are items dated as late as 1996. Most of the file subjects are fashion designers, although some famous models and personalities are included, as well as general topics related to fashion. The major fashion personalities of the period are covered, as well as younger, lesser known designers. Most of the items in the collection relate to the fashion press (articles written by Hyde and others, photographs taken by reporters, notes and correspondence representing day-to-day work), or to fashion publicity (materials found in press kits such as photographs, biographical information, press releases, and other forms of promotional writing). There are also a number of original designer sketches, copies of sketches, advertisements, and related items. The majority of the content is related to women's clothing, but there is some information about men's wear, children's wear, and accessories. Many of the items are undated, so the dates listed for each folder reflect dates found by the cataloger, and may not fully represent the content. The collection is particularly strong for Karl Lagerfeld, Yves Saint Laurent, First Ladies (Nixon through Clinton), the punk movement, Geoffrey Beene, Fendi, Calvin Klein, Princess Diana, Valentino, and articles written by Eugenia Sheppard

In 1984 he was fired from his own company and lost the right to design and sell clothes under his own name. From the descrip...
