What you may NOT know about Amelia Earhart:
Amelia Earhart was a famous aviator, setting many records and vanishing mysteriously at the height of her career, but what you may NOT know about her is that she also designed her own clothing line for the active woman!!
“After a series of record-making flights, she became the first woman to make a solo transatlantic flight in 1932. That same year, Amelia developed flying clothes for the Ninety-Nines. Her first creation was a flying suit with loose trousers, a zipper top and big pockets. Vogue advertised it with a two-page photo spread. Then, she began designing her own line of clothes “for the woman who lives actively.”
She dressed according to the occasion whether it was flying or an elegant affair. She was most conscious of the image she projected. Several New York garment manufacturers made an exclusive Amelia Earhart line of clothes which were marketed in 30 cities, with one exclusive store in each city, such as Macy’s in New York and Marshall Field’s in Chicago.”
