MORTON MYLES

Morton Myles worked with Herbert Sondheim and Larry Aldrich before starting his own business in the early 1960's.

He gained almost instant celebrity in 1961, when Jacqueline Kennedy wore his blue sleeveless linen dress on the cover of Look magazine for a family photo with President Kennedy, Caroline and newborn John-John. Mrs. Kennedy had purchased several of his designs while her husband was still a senator.

Morton Myles maintained offices on 7th Avenue in New York until his retirement in 1994. He now lives in Scottsdale, AZ.
