Dorothea Noelle Naomi Seale Porter 
      British fashion designer (b. Dec. 24, 1927, Jerusalem, British Palestine—d. July 24, 2000, London, Eng.), popularized caftans and created other luxurious, exotic, ethnically inspired textiles, clothing, and interior designs that formed the basis for “hippie chic” fashion in the late 1960s; a chain of retail boutiques Porter began in 1966, however, did not achieve long-lasting commercial success.
