Designer Norman Norell was the American Couturier. His salon-style fashion shows gave the American social set a taste of Paris and shaped the tone of American fashion in the 1960s. For his fall 1964 couture collection Norell featured many new youthful silhouettes, including this his no-neckline, self-belt wool afternoon dress worn by a model backstage before the show at his garment industry showroom located at 550 Seventh Avenue, home to America's top designers, in New York City on June 29, 1964.
