  My soul needed this as I had never heard of her until today. As for who should portray Ann Lowe? In my opinion, I can see Aja Naomi King ( How to Get Away With Murder) as Ann Lowe. Thank you so much for sharing this. My mind is completely blown that I have never heard of her and her rich legacy until now.

  Saks ended up cheating Ann out of thousands and thousands of dollars because of being underpaid for her designs. Saks Fifth Ave would owe her nearly 3 million dollars in today’s market.

  Yes, Ann Lowe had a private shop, known as The Adams Room in Saks Fifth Ave. Unfortunately, she was forced out of Saks due unforeseen financial challenges.

  Thank you so much for remembering the talented and gifted coututier ANN LOWE. So many great African Americans pass away in poverty yet they left an amazing historical legacy i.e. Rosa Parks; Mildred Blount (miliner for all of the hats worn in the movie classic Gone with the Wind) architect Benjamin Banneker and many others. I am glad and proud of her amazing legacy.🙏

  In spite of all the recent drama and everything I think that Jada pinkett Smith will make a great Ann lowe and speaking of business I believe foremost that an artist designer can also become a great businessman or businesswoman I am a designer an artist and I'm just now learning about the marketing and business aspect of fashion so I do believe that as an artist you can become very astute at business as well

  Thanks for doing such an interesting video on Ann Lowe. Her dresses, the largest exhibition to date, is on view at the Winterthur Museum of American decorative arts in Delaware until January 7 I believe. I found it shocking that Saks did not collaborate to ensure her business better, shocking and sad. Such behaviors still go on today. Shame on Saks! As you mentioned it appears that Jacqueline Kennedy paid off her debts accrued at Saks anonymously (Apparently there was a derogatory article in Ladies Home Journal, where Mrs Kennedy had referred to her design source of her wedding gown without recognizing Ann in a proper and honorable context. Ann was courageous to note this directly to the First Lady regarding the article and to the publisher of the magazine itself and asked for public acknowledgment through Ann's hired lawyer. It was soon after her debts were cleared completely and Ann felt it was Jacqueline who did the favor.). According to the research done by the National Museum of African American History & Culture, Ann joined the Madison Avenue upscale dress boutique, Madeleine Couture, where she partnered with the Stoddards, a husband and wife team who owned the shop and wanted to showcase Ann's talents. They also helped with her health and eye issues, public relations and doing the ground breaking Mike Douglas show in 1964. A year later, Ann partnered with retailer Florence Cowell to open a new shop at 558 Madison Avenue under a new brand name, A.F. Chantilly Inc. where Ann produced fashion for both wholesale and custom designed gowns, dresses, coats and ladies suits. Sadly it should be noted all during her life she was taken advantage of in business. Not only did Saks do this but individual clients did not always pay her fully for her work, sometimes asking her for prices they knew fully well were far below what they would have paid similarly to a white designer. The circumstances are not fully known why in my research, but Ann opened a new shop yet again, this time solo, in 1968, also on Madison Avenue, with the brand name Ann Lowe Originals. She remained at this shop until her retirement in 1972. You can watch a history on Ann via the link to Winterthur's site: www.winterthur.org/ann-lowe-american-couturier/#:~:text=This%20exhibit%20will%20present%20the,2023%2C%20to%20Jan.%207%2C%202024. Regarding the first black American woman to own a shop in America we have to go back earlier in time to 1902 to Annie Malone, the first African American woman to open a business and shop for cosmetics. Soon after one of Annie's employees, Madame C.J. Walker developed a hair treatment similar to the one Annie developed and opened a shop in 1908. Both became very successful in their operations as millionaires. Both helped their communities to thrive by creating cosmetology schools, factories, salons and direct mail, hiring hundreds of employees in different cities.

  That's amazing to have met him. I am wondering if any of the NY Museums (The Met, Museum of the City of NY, or even the Museum at FIT) would want this garment. You can start there. I don't know if museums pay for items, so be prepared to donate the garment. They will examine the garment and if you have photos of your Mom (or any relative) in the dress that will add to the story of the dress. Good luck with that and thanks for watching.

  I am a quilter! I hand piece and hand quilt all the quilts I make. I do not own a sewing machine. There is a wonderful book called A Community Of The Spirits by Roland L. Freeman about African American Quilters! I would be lost if I didn't quilt, it calms me. My Father was a German Jew, my Mother was Choctaw and I married a Cuban immigrant. I'm hoping I can find the book you speak of. Sorry this post is so long, thank you for sharing, and for all you do. Take care and stay safe. ♥

  Thank you so much for watching. I will look up the book you recommended and the book on Black Designers is on Amazon. I am impressed with fiber artist who do not use sewing machines. At one time every thing was made by hand and there are sewers who show that hand work here on You Tube. Handwork is calming, you are right about how you use the needle as not only a sewing tool, but also as a therapist. Your message wasn't too long at all and I appreciate the comment. Stay well and thanks again.

  Yes Aunt Nona was really stylish and they had a good life. I remember my Mother, Aunt Nona, and I were driving home from a family gathering and while waiting for the light to change, we must have stopped near a club. Aunt Nona said "People don't dress up any more, they look like they are going to work in the farm.". Ladies from a particular generation did dress even if it was just going to the grocery store.
