In
a private ceremony held on November 18th hosted by owner’s Bill and
Shannon Miller, Nudie Cohn’s granddaughter, Jamie Nudie, who now runs
Nudie’s Rodeo Tailor, welcomed visitors and fans of his fascinating
fashions.
“Excited
would be an understatement for how I expect my grandparents would feel
seeing their artistry on display in Nashville,” says Jamie Nudie.
“Beyond the fashions and celebrities, I wanted younger generations to
experience the full story of my grandparents. Nudie was an immigrant
from Ukraine who came from nothing, but with hard work and creativity he
and my grandmother Bobbie fulfilled the American Dream. Keeping this
legacy alive is my mission and with Bill and Shannon Miller’s team we
have this tailor-made home honoring my grandparents for generations to
come.”
