SHOSHANNA

New York born-and-bred American designer, Shoshanna Gruss is the founder and creative director of Shoshanna, her eponymous collection which debuted in stores in November 1998. Gruss revolutionized dress departments nationwide with the launch of her first collection-focusing on fitting and flattering the female body while indulging in whimsical details, a refreshing change from the contemporary offerings of the moment. Gruss continued to make waves in the marketplace with the launch of her swimwear collection in the Spring of 2001, the first in the contemporary marketplace to be sold as separates with lingerie inspired sizing. Her collection is carried in over 500 specialty and department stores nationwide, including Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Lord and Taylor, and select stores around Europe, Canada, and Asia.
