DAMZELS IN THIS DRESS

Giddy Up!

Damzels in this Dress have been looking to the past for inspiration for their dress collections since their inception in 1994.
For Spring 2017, Damzels bring their attention to Nudie Cohn, best known for his hallmark designs for the stars of country music.

Cohn, who landed on Ellis Island from Eastern Europe in his youth, got his start as a tailor for the burlesque community and quickly became a celebrity amongst celebrities by creating one of a kind looks for artists like Hank Williams, Dolly Parton, and Elvis Presley.

Damzels tip the figurative cowboy hat to Nudie’s suits in their collection titled “Giddy Up”.  A homage to his visionary union of fashion and rock n’ roll.

Dresses emblazoned with rhinestones, embroidery and sequins will strut the runway in their signature fits and styles. As always, Damzels will utilize models of all shapes and sizes to highlight the collection and diversity of their customer base.
