Dorothy Parish, née Kinnicutt (1910-1994), better known as "Sister" Parish, was an American interior designer who worked with some of the country's most influential families, including the Bronfmans, the Mellons, the Rockefellers and the Vanderbilts. At the request of Jacqueline Kennedy, she decorated the White House. According to her New York Times obituary, 10 September 1994, Mrs. Parish "is widely considered to have originated, in the 1960's, the decorating idiom that became known as American country style."
