  • Hickson Inc. was a high-class fashion retailer, designer, and department store in New York City in the early decades of the twentieth century. The firm started as a men's tailors but evolved to be what the designer Howard Greer described as "the most elegant and expensive specialty shop on Fifth Avenue". In the 1910s the firm dressed the actresses of the silent movies and in 1926 it opened a purpose-built store in a corner position on Fifth Avenue. It worked with Madeleine Vionnet and Georges Matchabelli. Charvet & Fils took space in their store. However, in 1931, at the start of the Great Depression, they filed for bankruptcy. A number of Hickson creations are in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. (en)
