#BlackHistory We explore the incredible story of #AnnLowe, a brilliant Black #fashion #designer who created iconic wedding dresses for America's most elite families, including Jackie Kennedy's legendary wedding gown, yet was consistently overlooked and uncredited for her extraordinary talent.

Wish the background music didn't make her voice difficult to hear in some parts of the video but so thankful for this new tidbit. A phenomenal black woman responsible for American culture but never credited for her fabulous designs. Isolated and segregated and still fly. #annlowe #fashion #talent

Keep living and learning. Talented individuals should never be denied recognition. Fight against racism and make the world better. #AnnLowe

Thank you for this lovely thread!! So glad you enjoyed BHOD and thank you for lifting up #genius #AnnLowe!

Ann Lowe: The forgotten Black designer who created gowns for the white elite Ann Lowe was the go-to designer among the fashionable elite of the mid-20th century. But because of her race, they were loath to admit it.

Because you mentioned sculpturing. Another famous black designer🥰. But not in her time🤦‍♂️. #AnnLowe.

Bed doll circa 1950s. Decorating your bed & toilet tank with a doll was popular. The doll’s skirt hid toilet paper. Her dress is like an Ann Lowe dress. She’s missing an earring, has a dead fly stuck under the tulle. I will gently clean her & remove the insect. 🪰⚰️ #annlowe #africanamericandolls

Thank you American Decorative Arts Forum for the wonderful lecture this afternoon about Ann Lowe, American Couturier. I was lucky to see the dresses at Winterthur, the day before the exhibition closed. @adafnorcal @winterthurmuse @legionofhonor #annlowe

The other reason for Delaware, the Ann Lowe exhibit at Winterthur. Most known for Jacqueline Kennedy’s wedding dress. It’s a replica because the original is too fragile to show. Glad I took photos; any merchandise related to the exhibit already sold out… @winterthurmuse #annlowe #jacquelinekennedy
