Adele Simpson

Adele Simpson (December 8,[1] 1903[2] – August 23, 1995)[3] was an American fashion designer with a successful career that spanned nearly five decades, as well as a child performer in vaudeville who danced in productions with Milton Berle and other entertainers.

Simpson took the place of her older sister, Anna, as head designer for Ben Gershel, which was a prominent 7th Avenue ready-to-wear fashion house.

Her collections were highly visible in the United States, highlighted in both department stores and in the media.

[12] A September 22, 1947, Life magazine featured an article entitled "Newest styles give every woman's figure a chance".

[18] That same year she donated her collection of artifacts, magazines, and costumes to FIT, though she continued designing following that.

Based in Lowell, Massachusetts, the firm chose not to continue the Adele Simpson line.
