Son of a haberdasher, Norman Norell studied fashion design at the Pratt Institute in the 1920s, and in 1922, he joined the New York studio of Paramount Pictures where he designed clothes for Gloria Swanson and other stars of silent movies. He then worked as a costume designer on Broadway, making the costumes for the Ziegfeld Follies and the Cotton Club. In 1928, he was hired by Hattie Carnegie and remained with her until 1941. Shortly afterwards he and Anthony Traina formed the fashion company Traina-Norell.
