Lambert, Eleanor

Lambert, Eleanor
▪ 2004

      American fashion publicist (b. Aug. 10, 1903, Crawfordsville, Ind.—d. Oct. 7, 2003, New York, N.Y.), helped elevate American fashion to international prominence and saw that American designers—most notably Halston, Oscar de la Renta, Anne Klein, and Bill Blass—earned the same respect as their European counterparts. A tireless promoter, she also established (1940) the International Best-Dressed List, introduced (1943) a week of New York fashion shows for the press, a precursor to the highly popular Fashion Week, and founded (1962) the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
