Chez Ninon was an American couture fashion house, founded in 1928 by Nona McAdoo Park and Sophie Meldrim Shonnard, and known for making authorized copies of designs from the leading French fashion houses.
Nona was the daughter of William Gibbs McAdoo, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, and had been known as "the Cabinet beauty".[1] Sophie was the daughter of Peter Meldrim, a prominent judge in Savannah, Georgia; and her first husband was the American football player and coach Ted Coy.[1]
Perhaps their most famous creation was the Pink Chanel suit of Jacqueline Kennedy, which was an authorized copy of a Chanel suit from its fall/winter 1961 collection.[2]
