A little bit of historical trivia: The clothing line Leslie Fay was founded in 1947 by Fred Pomerantz, who had produced dresses for the Women's Army Corps during World War II. The company was named for his daughter. Pomerantz was a colourful and well-known figure in the New York garment district; people on the street knew when he was at work because his distinctive Rolls-Royce was parked outside the company's Broadway offices. The company has operated continuously since 1947.
