Fashion is Spinach

Elizabeth Hawes is one of the best-known and most successful designers of smart women’s clothes in America, and the undisputed leader of the small group of American designers who have challenged the style supremacy of Paris.

Miss Hawes’ story is an adventure into every phase of the women’s clothing industry, the second largest business in the United States. Her early struggles for recognition and her final leadership in helping to shift the center of the fashion industry from Paris to New York make a story that will appeal not only to the initiate, but to thousands besides and to their husbands.
