The Evolution Of First Ladies’ Fashion
Mamie Doud Eisenhower
In San Antonio, Texas, Mamie Eisenhower met her future husband, President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Dwight was a military man, and the two spent a lot of time together before Dwight ran for president and won by a landslide. Mamie, unlike past first ladies, was obsessed with fashion! She also enjoyed playing the role of a hostess. Some of her outfits were designed by Scaasi, Mollie Parnis, Trifari, and Sally Victor. She was regarded as one of the “best-dressed” ladies of the day. There was even a “fashion style” named after her, “The Mamie look,” which Dior said was influenced by her.
