Bergdorf Goodman, design label and retailer

At home, Edith exuded the same elegance she exhibited at public appearances. With this floral print robe, reminiscent of a Japanese kimono, Edith embraced the glamour of a silver-screen siren. The trailing hem and gold and copper floral on a metallic green background all enhance the robe’s sumptuous quality.

Beginning in 1914, Bergdorf Goodman began to introduce ready-to-wear, making the New York retailer a hot spot for leading American and French fashions. Edith, who could no longer afford to travel to Europe for all her garments, began to incorporate American-made fashions into her wardrobe.
