Headquartered at 1410 Broadway, New York, with its Canadian division operating out of Montreal, Jordan Manufacturing was celebrated in the early 1950s for its aggressive national media campaigns aimed at redefining the mass-market swimsuit into high-fashion beachwear. This iconic Atomic Age advertisement features vibrant color tones highlighting the form-fitting, sculpted elegance of their trademark glamour suits, designed to mirror the poolside sophistication of elite Hollywood starlets.
