- Hello The Way We Wore Fans,
As a follow-up to our last episode at Julien’s Auction, here is an episode on Norell and his works from the 60’s. Norman Norell is known as the dean of American fashion, who dressed First Ladies, movie stars, and the elite of New York society. Norell’s designs are class, cut to perfection, and showcase the craft of couture in America. He moved to New York from Indiana where he studied at Parsons and Pratt. He then went onto work for Hattie Carnegie. Then went on to work for clothing manufacturer Teal Traina, where he worked as a partner. Then when Anthony Traina passed away he bought the company and changed the name to Norman Norell New York. Norell worked until his death in 1972, his designs are still collected by fashion historians and museums. We hope you enjoy this episode on this American treasure.

As a Bay Area girl, I like it when you ramble about your SF life. In the words of Robert Plant, "Ramble On".
I just purchased two Norman Norell Silk scarves and since I had never heard of him, I’m glad I came upon your video! Now I’m excited and proud to own a few norell pieces.
Beautiful work, beautiful dresses, wonderful artistry! Thank you for sharing.
Simply beautiful
Please say hello to Montevideo, Uruguay, in your next video. If I ever go to California, I will visit your store!! Meanwhile I keep watching your wonderful videos!!!!!
Will do Virginia. I love Montevideo and I think it’s South America’s beat kept secret. I would consider retiring there. I has the pleasure of spending a week at Finca Narbona and at that time, too much development in that area including a small regional airport. You live in a lovely country but are surrounded by too many countries that make me worry.
Thanks for your interest!
Doris
Hello Doris!! I am a drag queen just getting into vintage fashion and your channel is incredible, and fascinating!! thank you for being a gem
SOME OF THOSE THREADS - COTTON break in time - I love Norell and have some exquisite silk pieces in my collection. xoxo #sdiorvintage
Norman Norell, Bill Blass, Halson, and Stephen Sprouse four of the most influential American fashion designers, and all four from Indiana. Must be something in the water.
Don't forget Galanos
His silhouettes are exquisite. Thank you so much for continuing my fashion history lessons Doris. I appreciate your serious curator side as well as your staff’s whimsical appreciation of funky vintage.
My childhood friends Grandma had a beautiful dress from him. Had no idea how incredibly important this desinger was. I could binge watch you for hours. Always learn something. ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Hi Doris! ❤️
Wow, A 3K house? Those were the days. :)
Awesome, the peacoat is definitely a classic. I like the clean lines of Norell's dresses. The beauty of them is, they're not fussy.
Thank you for sticking it out and posting videos. Always a follower but Soo glad to have my favorite channels posting while we have to quarantine.
Gorgeous. This channel is a fashion lovers dream. 💜
What a glam collection ❤. Can you do a video on how to clean/ wash, store and care for our vintage clothes, please?
Hi Doris!! Thanks again for a wonderful video!! I have always loved sequins and beads. I wish that we would go back to dressing like women did in the 60's. When I was a little girl and went to Sunday church with my Grandma, she always wore a dress, hat, clutch with hanky and gloves. Saturday night she would let me pick out what I wanted her to wear. I know this is where I got my love for beautiful jewelry, shoes and clothing. Bless you for all you do...
Such beautiful dresses, thanks Doris for another wonderful video. Stay safe and healthy
A wonderful presentation as always, Doris. Thanks for being such a delight in these trying times! 💗
🧜♀️🌌💜 Magical stuff
Your collection just blows me away.. fantastic!
Wow, thank you!
What a fascinating history. Another great video. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
I was able to purchase a Traina-Norell, which are his earliest pieces to first bear his name, and it is stunning. Discovered that the dress was featured in a 1950's Vogue edition - found that specific Vogue magazine and purchase it on ebay!
I absolutely adore watching your videos.
You are a very special woman, and to share your passion with us is a gift to many.
Keep it coming as i am sure it lifts many peoples days like it lifts mine.
Thank you !
I am watching your channel from Moscow, Russia, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to see all these wonderful pieces of clothing and learning all this new stuff about fashion history. Thank you!
Another fabulous video with fabulous clothes. Thank you for such a pleasant time. I love how you intertwine fashion with history. Let’s get to 50k!!!
Doris, thank you so much for all that you do! Your show and UA-cam channel has been totally life changing and it's so wonderful to see how many people there are out there who are as nuts about this stuff as I am!
I found a 1958 traina-norell silk floral gown in the wild (it was tagged for an 80's dress, probably because the print is so bold and the colors are so vivid) this past January and I've been researching it since. Your content is invaluable to me as a collector who is starting to sell! 🧡
Hi Jennifer! It pleases me to know how our videos have touched your life. Thanks for letting me know. Isn’t it fun to do the research! Good luck with your journey down this wonderful path!
Doris

I’m feeling that sailor dress. Wow! Love the sequin beauties too. I’ve been scooping up a few sequin dresses from the 80s ala Bob Mackie at thrift stores and loving them.

Hi Doris I love your videos and thanks for talk more about Norman Norrel. I love learning about influencers in fashion and I love your store I have never been there in person but one day I will go see it when I'm in LA maybe for the holidays I can buy myself something some the store online. Anyways Excellent video and thanks for teaching us about vintage fashion and fashion history
👋😀Hi Kenneth, Hi Eric
Amazing the work you do
I love Norman Norell, one of my favorite designers to collect. The gold mermaid dress is documented in the American Beauty book by Patricia Mears
Doris has one of the BEST fashion videos.
Another excellent episode, thanks.
Gorgeous dresses❤️❤️❤️ Love your videos!!
👌🏾💕🌷👼🏿
Love, love love, Norman Norell. I have listed after Demi Moore's mermaid sequin evening dress.
🥰
Hey, Queens Gambit HAIR!!
Indiana? Didn't Bill Blass come from Indiana too? Blass may need a second look as well. Back in my clothing dealer days I found one Norrell-Traina piece, a coat as I recall, those were the days, 80's/90's, when important designers labels could literally be found in thrift stores.
💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💕💞💕💞💕💞💕
I wonder if such garments were made for single use.
LOL for the one hater... HA!
traina as in danielle steele?
4 GRAND for those dresses in the ‘60s & they couldn’t be bothered to sew the sequins on properly?! What a shame
Just wondering how much the Michelle Obama Norman Norell dress ended up fetching at auction---did anyone hear?
