Uncover the fascinating accomplishments of an extraordinary black woman who helped shape American history with her iconic fashion designs. The Life Story of Ann Lowe: America's First Black Woman Haute Couture Designer and Fashion's Best Kept Secret gives a comprehensive overview of the life and achievements of a woman who endured racism, betrayal, financial hardship, and personal tragedy, all to become the first black woman to own a shop on the prestigious Madison Ave in New York.

This book offers a broad and chronological overview of Ms. Lowe's life achievements.

- How she became the go-to designer for America's socially prominent and wealthy families, including the du Ponts, the Roosevelts, the Rockefellers, the Vanderbilts, and the Kennedys. Yet her name is virtually unknown.
- How she came to know herself by discovering and pursuing her talents.
- How not receiving recognition for designing Jackie Kennedy's wedding dress sent her into depression.
- How the legacy of Ann Lowe has emerged from the shadows of the past to finally be recognized and take its rightful place in American history.

Be inspired by the remarkable life story of Ann Lowe, a woman who dared to dream for a better life for herself and for generations to come.
