Canadian haute couture designer was 'a woman ahead of her time'
With a business started in the basement of her Toronto home,
her outfits were carried by the likes of Saks Fifth Avenue. She
also became the first Canadian to sell a collection in Japan
By Lisa FITTERMAN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S11
Montreal -- Edith
STRAUSS once walked into her brother's Montreal
apartment, stopped dead and began to cry. Curious and startled,
her sister-in-law, Dusty Vineberg
SOLOMON, asked why. "The curtains,"
Mrs. STRAUSS said, gesturing to a set of sheer drapes hung across
windows that ran the length of the living room wall. "They're
so beautiful."
For Mrs. STRAUSS, fabric spoke a special language that swished,
whispered, or swept confidently into a room, filled with colour
and texture. The long-time fashion designer, who started Edith
Strauss Designs Ltd. in 1965, was fluent in all its permutations,
whether a bolt of plain cotton or yards of rich white silk crepe,
the latter of which she turned into a fringed and beaded dress
that is considered a fine example of the transition from mini
to midi lengths and is part of the permanent costume collection
at Montreal's McCord Museum. Change a cut just a little - nip
in the waist here and extend the hem to there - and voila! She
helped her clients, including businesswomen and ambassadors'
wives, feel gorgeous and appropriate for everything from the
office to the fanciest of galas.
"She was a woman ahead of her time, a working mother long before
it was considered normal and a designer with a vision that never
wavered," said Victoria Dickinson, the McCord's executive director.
"At a time when power dressing and mannish pant suits were all
the rage, she believed that women could project a powerful image
in more feminine clothing."
Indeed, when it came to image, there were life rules from which
Mrs. STRAUSS never wavered. Tall, slender and dark-haired, she
always wore her own designs and she never revealed her age. She
also claimed she was from Russia, even though she really came
from Brest-Litovsk, a small city with a large Jewish population
that had once been claimed by Russia but was part of Poland's
eastern reaches when she born in 1919. "She thought Russia felt
more cultural," said her daughter, Marina
STRAUSS, a Globe and
Mail reporter. "She named me after a Russian princess."
Mrs. STRAUSS was the oldest of four children who all managed
to rise out of humble, even impoverished, beginnings. While their
father, Nathan
SOLOMON, was a simple man who made boots for the
Russian and Polish armies and had no interest in cultural activities,
their mother, Rachel
SOLOMON, pushed her offspring to question,
read and appreciate all things cultural. Whenever a theatre troupe
came through Brest-Litovsk, she took them. And when the performance
included songs, she made them memorize the Yiddish lyrics until
they could practically recite them in their sleep, just so they'd
understand the performance that much better.
In 1928, Mr.
SOLOMON moved to Montreal in search of a better
life for his family. Sponsored by his brother, who was already
there, immigration rules forced him to claim he was a bachelor
on his application for entry into Canada. Better to be in the
new country and already building a nest egg, he thought, than
to be back in Poland with no hope at all. He found work as a
cutter in a slipper factory, a low-paying job that meant it would
take him eight long years, until 1936, before he was able to
pay to have his family join him. The timing couldn't have been
better - or cut more closely - because Europe was on the brink
of war. Many relatives who stayed behind later perished in the
Holocaust.
For young Edith, the move to Montreal's Jeanne Mance Street -
the neighbourhood was made immortal by Mordecai Richler in novella
such as St. Urbain's Horseman - heralded the beginning of a long
affair with the city. She fell instantly in love with Mount Royal
and the cafés, with the row-houses and their outside staircases,
with the views and the cobblestone streets. She knew that she
could make a life there and that she never wanted to move.
At 16, she quit school to work in a sweatshop in order to help
support her family. No matter the need, she was there, even when
it meant having to post $6,000 as a guarantee so her youngest
sister, Genia, could attend the University of California at Berkeley
as a foreign student.
"Edith was a real mix, a pragmatic, ferocious dreamer who was
generous to a fault and always went after what she wanted," said
Mrs. STRAUSS's other sister, Lila
GOTTHEIL, who was keeper of
the family's weekly financial kitty.
"Sometimes, though, she could be impulsive," Mrs.
GOTTHEIL continued.
"Once, I said to her, 'Why should I be in charge of the finances
when you're the eldest?' So she took over and, lo and behold,
she came back with a really beautiful fabric for drapes for her
bedroom. I asked 'How can you spend a good part of the week's
money on drapes?' But she couldn't help it. For the rest of our
time in that house, her bedroom had beautiful drapes and I controlled
the purse strings."
Never terribly athletic, she gamely took up skiing with the express
purpose of meeting a potential husband. It was love at first
sight when she was introduced to Norman
STRAUSS, who wasn't really
interested in settling down at that point. But she was not deterred,
pursuing him with determination and inviting him over for meals
that would invariably end with fruitcake made by Mrs.
GOTTHEIL,
who was already married and adept at baking.
"When Edith learned he loved fruitcake, she had me bake it and
she presented it," Mrs.
GOTTHEIL said. "I like to feel that my
fruitcake had something to do with their marrying. It was my
own version and it was good."
They were married in Montreal in 1949. Soon, Mrs.
STRAUSS, who
was working as the chief designer of a Montreal dress company,
had her son A.J. and daughter Marina. Contrary to the conventions
of the time, she continued to work, staying on top of her children's
education and extracurricular activities and designing the uniforms
for their school.
"Each morning, she'd take one bus to work and we'd take another
bus to school, and she wasn't always around when we got home,"
Ms. STRAUSS said. "But she was our biggest cheerleader, too.
She believed in us. I was always the prettiest, the smartest
and the most talented, even if I wasn't."
There were, however, limits to the cheerleading. Ms.
STRAUSS
recalled one family dinner when she was about 10 years old, during
which she mentioned she wanted to be a secretary when she grew
up. Her mother was shocked. "You will do much more than that,"
she admonished.
At one point in the mid-1960s, Mr.
STRAUSS, an executive with
a steel window-and-door company, was transferred to Toronto to
start a new division. Although leaving Montreal broke her heart,
Mrs. STRAUSS rallied. She started her design business in the
basement of their Toronto home at York Mills and Bayview, complete
with cutting tables, sewing machines and several telephones that
always seemed to be ringing. She made sure to surround herself
with the best of the best - the best cutters, the best sewers
and the best fabrics. As with her family, she had high expectations
of her staff and yet was also their biggest supporter, talking
up their talents wherever she went.
She never looked back. The company outgrew the dimensions of
the basement and moved to a series of locations until it ended
up in offices downtown, on Carlton Street, while her collection
was sold in high-end stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue in New
York. In 1981, she became the first Canadian designer to sell
a collection in Japan, and she won one accolade after another,
including the Fashion Industry Achievement Award from the city
of Toronto in 1990.
Mrs. STRAUSS continued to work until she could no longer do so.
In 2005, she suffered a stroke while on a visit to Montreal.
Although she lived the rest of her life in a Toronto seniors'
residence, she always considered it temporary, more like a hotel
room than her own home.
She was convinced she was going to get better because she longed
to go home. There, she had kept every letter her grandchildren
ever wrote her from summer camp, practically all of her own children's
school books, heaps of work-related files and notes and patterns,
closets full of her designs, and the memories of her husband,
who died in 1990.
Edith STRAUSS was born Edith
SOLOMON on March 27, 1919, in Brest-Litovsk,
Poland, and died in Toronto on March 20, 2008. She was 88. She
is survived by son A.J.
STRAUSS and daughter Marina
STRAUSS.
She also leaves sisters Lila
GOTTHEIL and Genia Albrecht, brother
Samuel SOLOMON, and grandchildren Aaron, Elana and David Blatt.

LLOYD,
Doctor
Clifford
Cooper
Founding President Of George Brown College (Toronto)
Died peacefully in his sleep, January 24th, 2008, at the age
of 83. Clifford's journey through life took him from his birthplace
on the Gower Coast in Wales, through the battlefields of World
War 2 as an officer in the British Army, and then post-war service
in Egypt and India before moving to Canada with his wife Joan
in 1947. He will be dearly missed by his beloved Joan Margaret,
the wind in his sails. Clifford worked as a plumber in Toronto
before taking a teaching position in 1952, at the Provincial
Institute of Trades where he became Principal ten years later.
He was the founding President of George Brown College from 1967 to
1978. Despite his passion for developing a strong viable technical
college, Clifford was always very involved in his community serving
as President of the West Toronto Kiwanis Club, Chairman of the
Miles for Millions walk (77-78) and
as Rector's Warden, choir
member and lay preacher at St. Theordore's Anglican Church in
North
York.
Doctor
LLOYD earned his M.Ed. and PhD at the Ontario
Institute of Studies in Education (U of T). Even a major stroke
in 1990 did not deter him; he completed his Masters of Theological
Studies at Concordia Lutheran Seminary, Brock University in 2001
at the age of 76. As their father and grandfather provided love,
inspiration and support all of their lives, he will be sorely
missed by his children, Sian
