Sonia Rykiel (Born: 25 May 1930, Paris, France) is a French fashion designer.

Ethnically a Polish Jew, Sonia Rykiel was born in Paris, France in 1930. At the age of 17, she was employed to dress the window displays in a Parisian textile store. Sonia was married to the owner of a boutique which sold elegant clothing. In 1962 she just couldn't find any soft sweaters to wear when she was pregnant. So she used a supplier to her husband from Venice to design her own.

Stuart A. Weitzman (Born: 1942) is the designer of the international, high-end shoe company, Stuart Weitzman.

Alexander Julian - Prominent fashion designer who has expanded into just about everything. Known for Alexander Julian's "Colours" and other lines. His father ran a college clothing shop in Chapel Hill, North Carolina where Julian was raised. We have a shaky source that says he is Jewish. Visitor help welcome. Update: We have been reliably informed that his father was Jewish, his mother was not Jewish.

She is the daughter of artist Lucian Freud and great granddaughter of the inventor of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud. Her only full sibling is her sister, writer Esther Freud, who wrote the memoir of their hippy childhood in Morocco, Hideous Kinky.

Calvin Klein (born in the Bronx in 1942)Famous clothing designer. His parents were immigrants from Europe. Klein was always known as the best dressed boy on the block. He began his company in 1968 with $10,000 and the help of his childhood friend, Barry Schwartz. The rest is fashion history. We just wonder if he got the idea to print his name on every piece of "Calvin Klein" underwear from all those name labels Jewish mothers sewed into camp clothes.
