Dani Levinas, Art Enthusiast Who ‘Collected Collectors,’ Dies at 75

Dot began learning the ropes of the company at a young age while traveling with her parents across the U.S. to London, Paris, Switzerland, Como, and other far-flung corners of the world. In the '70s, Echo introduced its memorable ‘The Echo of an Interesting Woman’ campaign. Created by legendary adman Peter Rogers, Echo was known for this advertising for years and it remains iconic today. In 1956, Paul Roberts, Edgar C. Hyman’s son-in-law, was tasked with transporting Echo’s fall line from the Italian factories back to New York. By 1929, Echo had established itself successfully in the marketplace, enabling the company to survive the Great Depression.

Echo started as a love story between Dot’s parents, Edgar and Theresa Hyman. The two got married at a courthouse on September 27, 1923, the same day that they launched their company. Funny enough, Edgar’s career began with selling veils (yes, the bridal headgear). He worked for two firms that went bankrupt and it eventually led him to create his own.

Today, every glove in every material, from wool to cashmere to leather, works with the devices we cannot live without. Under the leadership of Dorothy Hyman Roberts, the daughter of the founders who became Echo's President in 1978, the company experienced unprecedented growth over the course of the new decade. From traditional print marketing to cutting edge online solutions, we have the talent, expertise and passion to launch a new endeavor or breathe life into a tired brand.

He's worked for award-winning building and design firms in San Francisco and Los Angeles as a carpenter, site superintendent, project manager and architectural designer. He launched Echo Projects in 2020 and lives and works in dreamy Echo Park, Los Angeles. Today, the Echo products span from scarves to beachwear, bags, hats, gloves, fabrics, bedding, tabletop, and other accessories.

We develop solutions in print and online that help companies rise above the noise. We think big and deliver bold, beautiful solutions that grab attention and establish immediate credibility. For more than 20 years, we’ve earned a reputation for creating clean, modern designs that convey a strong brand image while producing tangible results. From traditional marketing to the latest in modern web design, we have the talent, knowledge, and passion to turn ideas into beautiful results. Echo Design Group, the privately held, family-run American accessories brand in business for nearly a century, has promoted Charlie Roberts to president and chief revenue officer.

The Echo brand began our long, iconic journey after Theresa Hyman requested the logo be printed on every scarf design. This was to distinguish Echo products from the competition and assure everyone — from production to purchase — that each scarf was created with the utmost quality and care. Cargo containers, thoughtfully recycled and placed into residential and commercial projects, create a hybrid building system that saves time and money. Back in the ‘30s, Theresa requested that their logo be printed on every scarf to not only separate the brand from its competition but to also show that each product is created with the highest quality and care. 1923” text on the bottom reflects Echo’s longtime headquarters in NYC. There have been about 20 variations of the logo so far—from a big print to a small one, to a combination of both.

Echo Design Group’s Colorful Past

Echo launched our home division in 1992 with fresh and exciting designs in wallcoverings and fabrics. Bedding, bath accessories, and tabletop categories were added over the next several years as the division grew in popularity. During the upheaval years of WWII, Echo was the most prominent and prolific manufacturer of women’s patriotic scarfs. Echo also created many instructional propaganda scarfs with printed messages ranging from how to react in an air raid to what to do during a blackout.

Our work is supported by an immensely talented team of subcontractors and collaborators. Roberts, who was managing director, will assume the day-to-day responsibilities of operating the business and oversee sales. He will report to Steven Roberts, who continues as chief executive officer but adds the title of chief product officer, a newly created role, while relinquishing the title of president to his son. Steven will focus on overseeing design, merchandising and product development. Echo also launched a custom design division after creating a commemorative World’s Fair scarf for the Smithsonian Institution. Competition is fierce and standing out in a crowded field is a big challenge.

Today, that rich heritage of timeless quality, craftsmanship and integrity lives on in every new line of fashion accessories, bags, beachwear and home design. Still located within a block of the original showroom, Echo continues to draw inspiration from the vitality and diversity of the city. All the while, holding to the idea that a single accessory can possess the power to transform an outfit or a room, a mood or a perspective. Founder Michael Pickoff is a California-licensed general contractor and holds a master's degree in architecture from UCLA's school of Architecture and Urban Design where he graduated with distinction.

Versatile, luxurious, and expressive, it's the centerpiece of your personal style. When she started working at the office, she was given a clipboard and one assignment to be responsible for all the things that no one else wanted to do. That involved recording every sale on white and yellow index cards.
