A NOTE ON THE DESIGNER: Mady Gerrard is a holocaust survivor turned designer to the stars. She survived both Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps, and went on to become one of New York's most sought after fashion designers. In the late 1960s she moved to New York and launched her design business which allowed her to hire many elderly Jewish refugees to hand-knit and crochet her designs! Her designs were later sold in high end stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and worn by politicians’ wives and celebrities, including Dionne Warwick!

A NOTE ON COLOR: The color is slightly darker in person than it appears in the photos.
