NEMSER Information from a
family member:
"My group hails from Vilna in Russia... which
became Poland... and then the Soviet Union... and now Lithuania. We've had
some talented & famous people in the family too. My great grandmother, Sadie
Nemser was a NY fashion designer. Nemser Originals were one-of-a-kind dresses
sold from her shop, including an Inaugural Dress
for Mrs. Calvin Coolidge. Others were sold through finer department stores.
Sadie Nemser was a leader in the cubism effort of design. It was a family
business with different relatives specializing in different work, such as the
bead work. In July 1928, Sadie and her husband traveled to Paris on the SS Ile
de France as the premier delegates of the Congress of Garment Retailers of
America where Mr. Nemser was awarded the French National Legion of Honor for
their efforts to bring harmony between the French and American garment
industries!"
