On Sunday the 7th, the world of fashion was given a complete shock. After years of style innovation, Lilly Pulitzer passed away. From clothes, accessories, agendas, ties, shoes and even bikes, Lilly Pulitzer has made her mark in the fashion industry by influencing many people with her unique trends and prints.
In 1931, an aspiring New York socialite Lilly McKim eloped with publishing tycoon Peter Pulitzer. The newlyweds then mvoed to Palm Beach where Lilly opened a juice stand. Taking a bad situation of citrus staining her clothing, she started a small profit clothing line which included her new brightly colored and patterned clothes. Her designs quickly became the unoffical uniform for most Palm Beach resorts. Her clothes quickly transformed into a large-base industry with everyone wanting to wear the newest trend of the 1900's.
Still today, Lilly's designs thrive and live on. I always see girls wearing dresses, skirts, shorts, etc. of Lilly designs. I even see guys wearing Lilly ties and bowties. Lilly has given many people the confidence to try new designs and trends to broaden their style. All of her designs throughout the years have made people cheery and bright! SHe was an amazing person who inspired so many and even though she is lost, her memory and success lives on!
Stay on the Contrary
