Grand Duchess Marie starts job

September 15, 1929

Grand Duchess Marie Pavlovna of Russia will begin work tomorrow as a style consultant for the New York department store, Bergdorf-Goodman.

Bergdorf-Goodman, which is located at 5th Avenue and 58th Street, made the announcement today. The Grand Duchess, a first cousin of the late Nicholas II and the former wife of Prince Wilhelm of Sweden, recently came to live in the United States. She recently told a reporter that she preferred to work in America because "Paris may present the new fashions but only those which American women finally adopt are the fashions which have significance."
