One of America’s leading direct marketing and apparel companies, Spiegel designs and markets women's apparel, accessories and footwear under the Spiegel, Newport News and Shape FX brands. From the beginning—in the heartland of America, shortly after the Civil War—Spiegel has reflected and set the style of women across the country. However lives have changed, Spiegel has changed with them. Spiegel has always known that whatever the fashion of the day, it only works when it suits the customer’s lifestyle. Spiegel mailed its first catalog to women across America in 1905, and just 20 years later, the fashion and furniture retailer had 10 million customers. As their desire grew for the latest fashions, Spiegel sent buyers to Paris fashion shows--the first catalog to bring European trends to American homes. By the late 1970s, millions of women began their steps in the corporate ladder and Spiegel changed to meet their needs, needs that Spiegel is still meeting 100 years later. Style today is individual, versatile and effortless. The Spiegel promise has always been to bring great style with timeless appeal: luxury fabrics, beautiful tailoring, exquisite detailing and perfect fit to the consumer for over a100 years. That's why Spiegel has stood the test of time, and why Spiegel continues to be a major style resource for modern women.
