Sophie Gimbel (1898- November 28, 1981) was an American fashion designer for Salon Moderne of Saks Fifth Avenue. She was a leading designer for nearly 40 years and an innovator of the "New Look" that gained popularity after World War II. Sophie was hired as a stylist for Saks by Adam Gimbel, whose grandfather was the founder of department store chain Gimbels. In 1929, she was asked to take over the Salon Moderne of Saks Fifth Avenue. In her role as lead fashion designer, she often traveled to Paris to purchase clothes from designers. She married Gimbel in 1931. Salon Moderne was not particularly successful or prestigious prior to her arrival. Gimbel designed costumes for Broadway shows to generate interest and bring in new business. She created many ready-to-wear fashions and is credited with introducing culottes (divided skirts) to the American market.
