This dissertation examines the life and career of American fashion and film costume designer Bonnie Cashin (1907-2000). Although Cashin is best known as a pioneer of American sportswear and for "modern" ready-to-wear fashion designs after 1950, this dissertation considers the totality of her work. It begins with her childhood dressmaking "apprenticeship" and then considers Cashin's careers in dance and film costume design as well as fashion design and evaluates her role as an advocate and critic of the fashion industry from the 1950s until her death in 2000. It also establishes her determination to design according to her personal tastes and to create a body of work that was also a form of autobiography. This research is significant not only because it is the only analysis of Cashin and her work but also because it is based on primary source material from Cashin's personal archive, including unpublished letters, journals and photographs, as well as extensive interviews with Cashin during the last three years of her life. Cashin's professional design career included fashion illustration and dance costume design in the 1920s and 1930s for Fanchon and Marco (a Los Angeles-based company) and the Roxyettes (New York City), as well as costume design for films produced at Twentieth Century-Fox (1942-1949) and, most famously, clothing design for American ready-to-wear (1937-1942 and 1949-1985). In 1952, she established her own company, Bonnie Cashin Designs, Inc., and distinguished herself as an "independent" designer, working for select manufacturers in order to create a complete "Cashin look." Among her many design collaborations, special emphasis is given to her work as first and sole designer for Sills & Co. (1953-1977) and Coach Leatherware (1962-1974), as well as her work with Ballantyne Cashmere (1963-1969) and the establishment of her own company, The Knittery (1972-1982). She was the only U.S. designer to have a boutique within Liberty of London and carried at Hermes in Paris. Cashin's achievements were based not only on her talents as a designer, but also on her ability to craft her public persona and maintain her artistic integrity within mass-manufacture. She attained great commercial success without ever licensing her name or working with design assistants and became one of the most respected and influential designers in her field.
