 Raymond Loewy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Loewy's early years in the US, he lived in New York and found work as a window designer for department stores, including Macy's, in addition to working as a fashion illustrator for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.
Further commissions followed, including work for Westinghouse, for the Hupp Motor Works (the Hupmobile styling), and the styling of the Coldspot refrigerator for Sears-Roebuck.
While Loewy did not design the shape of the railroad's famous GG1 electric locomotives, he improved their looks by recommending welded and smoothed, rather than riveted, construction, and a pin-striped paint scheme to highlight their smootly rounded forms.
