According to the Vintage Fashion Guild, Mr. Kidd relied heavily on Balenciaga & Chanel for design inspiration, and made copies of Chanel suits. A 2012 article from the New York Times states that “Coco Chanel authorized American dressmakers like David Kidd of Jablow to clone her signature nubby tweed suits for the common folk.”
