Ben King (designer)
Ben King was an American fashion designer active from the 1940s to the 1970s. In 1944 he was awarded a Neiman Marcus Fashion Award for Distinguished Service in the Field of Fashion.[1] Although he produced some clothing, including a vibrant India-print pajamas ensemble in 1954,[2] King was known particularly for accessories, being listed as a leading designer of belts in 1953.[3] Ben King handbags were still available from stores such as Bonwit Teller in the mid-1970s, being featured in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.[4][5]
