LEARN MORE ABOUT THE BRAND
”The Leslie Fay Companies, Inc.—the second-largest maker of women’s clothing sold to department stores—designs, manufactures, and markets moderately priced and better priced women’s dresses, suits, blouses, coats, and sportswear. Its clothes are marketed under several labels, including Albert Nipon, Kasper for A.S.L, Evelyn Pearson, and Castleberry Knits.
Leslie Fay was founded in 1947 by Fred Pomerantz, who had produced dresses for the Women’s Army Corps during World War II. The company was named for his daughter and offered department stores substantial profit margins for carrying the company’s line of stylishly conservative women’s wear. Pomerantz was a colorful figure in the New York garment district; he reportedly had a liking for gambling, and people on the street knew when he was at work because his distinctive Rolls-Royce was parked outside the company’s Broadway offices.”
