Fogarty

Anne (1919-1981). American designer. Born in Pittsburg, she was among the first to design bikinis. She became famous especially for her paper doll: a model characterized by a bustier with gathered running stitches, a very deep neckline and an extremely rich and carefully worked skirt. Her first job as a designer was in 1948 at the Youth Guild Inc., where she specialized in clothing for teenagers. But it was in 1957 that Saks Fifth Avenue in New York presented the collection that gave her her first real success.
