Vintage Bleeker Street Dress - Jonathan Logan - 35$ only

Some weeks ago I was at this estate sale and I  found this cool vintage dress but I wa snot sure about this brand.
Today I found the story conected to the label which is Bleeker Street. Wanna know it too? It's kind of interesting:
Bleeker Street was a design of  Jonathan Logan who was a popular manufacturer dresser for the younger women. The style was classic and dressy but not super trendy.
The small company with 10 employees was founded in 1944 by David Schwartz. His designer of these days was Dorris Varnum, and later in the 1950s it was Jeanne Carr. The company was very successfull and Jonathan Logan had become one of the largest ready to wear companies in the USA by 1966.

Jonathan Logan built up the collection to fourteen different brands, each one for a different consumer group. Youth Guild and Butte Knit were two of their lines. Bleeker Street was created by Jonathan Logan in late 1966 to promote the Carnaby Street Boutique popularity. It was in existence until about 1974. 

In the late 1960s, David Schwartz's son Richard was made the head of Jonathan Logan. In 1985 the Schwartz family sold their interest in the company. Thank you for the information from http://www.vintagefashionguild.org/
