Bergdorf's on the Plaza: The Story of Bergdorf Goodman and a Half-Century of American Fashion

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1956. Docktor, Irving. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good / Very Good. Item #2346559

First edition. Jacket edges rubbed with minor loss from corners, tape remnants on boards and endpapers, ink number on jacket spine base and abrasion to spine cloth beneath with some loss of gilt from publisher name, bookplate removal mark on rear endpaper. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked.

x, 244 pp. Includes three sections of black-and-white photographs and reproductions of early advertisements. Jacket design by Irving Docktor. A detailed account of how the partnership of Edwin Goodman and Herman Bergdorf marked a shift in American fashion sense, particularly among women. Though it was subsumed by Nieman Marcus in the 1980s, Bergdorf's defined an era, and helped make Fifth Avenue in Manhattan a shopping destination. A worthy addition to the 'sociology of taste.'
