Albert Nipon (born 1927) is an American fashion designer and ladies-clothing manufacturer.The Nipons started their foray into fashion in 1954 as designers of maternity clothes. Albert ran the business, while Pearl designed the clothing. They opened a small dress shop, which grew into a chain of stores called Ma Mere.The Nipons turned their maternity-clothes company into an internationally known producer of ultra-feminine women's clothing in 1972. The birth rate was declining, and they decided to focus on creating chic dress. They sold Ma Mere to Dekon Corporation.

Albert Nipon gives all the credit for the line that bears his name to Pearl and her design aesthetic. She, however, says she merely edits the lines.The company declared bankruptcy in 1988. It was sold in 1988 to Leslie Fay Co., which allowed the Nipons to continue running the design business.Albert Nipon designs and fragrances continue to be available in dress shops and fashion boutiques around the world.
