Gunne Sax was an empire that would later be known as Jessica McClintock, Inc. Jessica McClintock, a widowed mother, moved to California in 1969 with a teaching credential in hand. Eager to teach, she came upon a small apparel company known as Gunne Sax, and used her sewing skills she learned from her grandmother, a seamstress, to effect. Through the years, she changed Gunne Sax into an apparel business under her name, and expanded her line of dresses into a new empire. Today, Jessica McClintock is composed of many design divisions, including bridal, junior, and children's wear.
