Author Elizabeth Evitts Dickinson talks about "the most influential fashion designer you've never heard of," Claire McCardell, in conversation with novelist Jane Delury.
Claire McCardell forever changed fashion—and, most importantly, the lives of women. She shattered cultural norms around women’s clothes, and today much of what we wear traces back to her ingenious, rebellious mind. McCardell invented ballet flats and mix-and-match separates, and she introduced wrap dresses, hoodies, leggings, denim and more into womenswear. She tossed out corsets in favor of a comfortably elegant look and insisted on pockets, even as male designers didn’t see a need for them.
