PHILIP HULITAR
1905-1992
Hulitar became known for his distinctively tailored and elegantly decorated cocktail dresses and evening gowns. Launching his label in 1949 after 18 years of success as one of Bergdorf Goodman’s chief designers and head of its women’s dress division, Hulitar quickly earned critical acclaim and a fervent following in New York and Long Island society. “The star of a gifted designer has risen recently on the fashion horizon,” one contemporary journalist stated, shortly after his business opened.
A retrospective exhibition of Hulitars work was shown at the Long Island museum in 2019 and there are several examples at the Metropolitain museum in New York.
