Vera Neumann, American artist and entrepreneur.
Her father gave her 50 cents for each sketchbook she could fill with her drawings, and took her to The Metropolitan Museum of Art every Sunday.
World War II was in full swing when Vera found that the linen supply was dwindling. Searching for more linen for her products, she came across extra parachute silk at an army surplus store. Thus began her scarf business.
Marilyn Monroe was a fan as well as Grace Kelly and First Lady Bess Truman.
