Herbert Levine graduated from Dartmouth College in 1937 and worked as a journalist for Gannett newspapers and various fashion trade publications before taking a job as sales and advertising manager for Andrew Geller, a shoe company.
He focused principally on running the business of the Herbert Levine label, while she served as head designer for the company.
Mr. Levine and his wife, Beth, were hired in 1965, along with famed Couturier Emilio Pucci, and designer Alexander Girard to help overhaul a new look and style for Braniff International Airways.
The Campaign, developed by Jack Tinker and Partner's Mary Wells Lawrence, was dubbed The End Of The Plain Plane, and was a revolutionary airline overhaul that had never been attempted.
Herbert Levine died aged 75 in 1991 at his summer home in Westhampton Beach, Long Island; he was survived by his wife and a daughter, Anna Thomson, of Manhattan.
