Couture lingerie designer Juel Park made Grace Kelly’s trousseau, and fashioned lingerie for Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, and Elizabeth Taylor—among many others. She began her business in Hollywood in 1929. Park’s meticulous hand-craftsmanship—as well as her store’s prime Hollywood location—ensured her success with an especially elite clientele.
