Posted on April 13, 2006 by CD

She’s soooo cute! Her husband’s name was actually “Nudie” and they opened “Nudie’s for the Ladies” in NYC in the 1930’s.

The woman who helped clothe Elvis Presley in his rhinestone outfits has died at the age of 92.
Helen Cohn, also known as Bobbie Nudie, died in California on Friday.
Cohn worked alongside her husband Nudie Cohn, clothing a host of singing cowboys and country singers including Hank Williams and Roy Rogers.
