Carrie Munn

Carrie Munn (January 29, 1898 – February 1, 1984), born Caroline M. Neunder, was an American fashion designer.

[7] She opened a dress shop in New York City in 1920, to help support her sister after their father's death.

[8][9] Munn, a self-taught seamstress with no formal design training, opened another shop on Madison Avenue in 1941;[10][11] she offered American-made couture gowns, dresses, suits, and separates during World War II and afterwards.

[12][13][14] She gave parties to show her latest designs to socialites and celebrities,[1][15] including Elizabeth Parke Firestone[16] and Dorothy Kilgallen,[17] and often modeled her own creations at society events.

Do not expect limp sheaths or shirtwaist types from this designer," said a newspaper report of Munn's Fall 1952 collection.
