“ Albert Nipon was a popular clothing brand founded by Albert and Pearl Nipon. Married in 1953, they started their maternity wear company, Ma Mere, a year later. Albert ran the business, while Pearl, who had previously owned a dress shop with her sister Dorothy, was the brand’s designer. In a few short years, the Nipons grew Ma Mere into a nationwide chain of more than 100 stores. 



In the late 1960s, they sold Ma Mere and debuted a line of ultra-feminine, high-end dresses for a chic clientele. The new focus made Albert Nipon one of the most popular labels of the 1970s and 1980s. At its peak, the company grossed $60 million a year and employed 600 people in their Philadelphia factory, making it the city’s largest employer of unionized garment workers.
