"Mardis Gras, New York" was a popular mid-century American label active primarily from the 1950s through the 1970s. They were well-known for producing high-end boutique and specialty department store cocktail dresses, party frocks, and structured daytime pieces (frequently featuring luxe details like silk brocades, specialty jacquards, rhinestone embellishments, and custom tailoring).
While they operated as an independent wholesale label out of New York, they occasionally collaborated with notable mid-century designers (such as Levino Verna and Jerry Marsch) to create limited-run statement pieces. Pieces bearing the standard "Mardi Gras, New York" label, reflect quality mid-century construction.
