According to his obituary: David Hayes "had a larger than life personality to match his larger than life work ethic. David became the go-to designer of some of the biggest stars in Hollywood. Zsa Zsa and Eva Gabor, Audrey Hepburn, Linda Evans, Joan Collins, Anne Jeffreys, Phyllis Diller, Barbara Rush, and at the time First Lady, Nancy Reagan favored his classic tailoring and superb design aesthetic. In 1981, he was nominated and adducted into the Los Angeles Fashion Hall of Fame. "David Hayes was an iconic sensation and lived life to the fullest. He loved empowering women and making women feel glamorous. David was the son of late Benjamin and Florence “Dolly” Hayes. He had three siblings Joanne Hayes Bologna, Terry Hayes, and Patrick Hayes. David will be dearly missed by his brother Patrick Hayes, many nieces and nephews who adored him, and especially his dog “baby” Elle Mae. As David would often quote; “If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then whatever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast” -Ernest Hemingway. The fashions of David Hayes will live on forever. What an extraordinary life he lived." Montaldo's: According to fuzzylizzie at vintagefashionguild.com: "Montaldo’s, a lady’s specialty shop, was started in 1919 by two sisters, Lillian and Nelle Montaldo. It was a pioneer in the field of ladies’ ready-to-wear and was known for their high quality and personal service. Branches were found in Richmond, Virginia, Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Raleigh and Greensboro, North Carolina, Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio, Denver and Colorado Springs, Colorado, St. Louis, Missouri, and Bartlesville, Oklahoma, etc. In 1995, Montaldo’s declared bankruptcy and went out of business." “Whatever is exceptional in quality and design must be offered to Montaldo’s customers.” Lillian Montaldo
