Her unique styling sense gave women over the age of thirty the opportunity to dress with elegance and beauty without compromising the integrity of the form and function of the dress or the individual body. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, and even until the early 1980s, Parnis?s creations graced the style and advertising pages of Vogue, Harper?s Bazaar, Vanity Fair, and Life, among other magazines. Her designs were photographed by fashion giants such as Horst P. Horst, Toni Frissell, and Louise Dahl-Wolfe. By 1966, a Parnis dress had made the cover of Harper?s Bazaar with the caption, ?50 great American dresses for the year of the dress.? Parnis had arrived.
