Vera Neumann was an unlikely revolutionary–her tiny five-foot-tall frame typically dressed in mod tunics and a bold scarf and armed with a quick wit but a shy demeanor. But Vera, the innovator of cross-licensing, was the most successful female entrepreneur of her time and created the first true lifestyle brand.
In her 1960s and ’70s prime, Vera Neumann made millions as a creator of bold floral and abstract patterns. Her scarves were showcased in over 20,000 fine stores around the world. Her home and sleek showrooms were designed by architect Marcel Breuer. Her winsome design of a ladybug served as her logo on a wide line of textiles, scarves, wallpapers and assorted housewares—all brightly colored and signed with a simple, resounding signature: Vera.
Her look appealed to many—from Marilyn Monroe, photographed behind a sheer Vera scarf at her last photo shoot in 1962, to Jane Fonda draped in a Vera bath towel, to Sally Draper, who slept on Vera bed sheets in the fictional realm of Mad Men .
