Today is the birthday of Pauline Trigere, American fashion designer, who had a long career spanning the decades from the 1940s through the 1990s. Her NYT obituary (2002) states:
She was noted not only for her designing skills, but also for her tailoring and such touches as constructing dresses with no obvious seams.
Miss Trigère wore only her own designs, and she generally punctuated them with several of her trademark turtle pins. She was known both for her meticulous grooming and for a charm that surmounted her blunt, sometimes impolitic comments, spoken in a Gallic accent she never lost.
I remember sewing this dress, or something similar when I was in junior high or high school. It was not as simple as it looks.
And I forgot that you had to stand all funny when wearing her dresses:
I could not find a Trigere tattoo, but I did find this super tattoo dress by Alexander McQueen:
Want.
