From The Guardian.

“I was about 22 and had been invited to a fashionable party in Chelsea. I was introduced to a well-known designer, who turned and walked away. Ten minutes later, he scurried back and said: “I’m sorry I was so rude to you. You see, they told me you were Jewish.” I still remember his name but let me pretend that I’ve forgotten it.”

Salman Rushdie’s recollection from about 1969.

Any ideas who the well-known designer was?

Tks.
