Don Loper was based in Hollywood from the 1930s to the 1960s. He designed costumes for several films and designed the outfits Gracie Allen wore on the Burns and Allen Show in the 1950's. Don Loper appeared as himself on the I Love Lucy show, when Lucy went to his exclusive boutique to purchase a dress. She tried to convince Ricky that she needed a Don Loper dress to fit in with the Hollywood crowd. This episode of
I Love Lucy starts with Lucy and Ethel going to
the stylish [and very expensive!] Don Loper Salon. Lucy only has a $100 to spend on a new dress and has no idea that nothing
there costs less than $500.
This vintage 1950's kelly green Don Loper Beverly Hills boxy jacket has fabric covered button closure on the front. Flap pockets on the lower front. Fully lined. The collar is hand stitched onto the jacket. Collectors item!
