VINTAGE 1960s PAULINE TRIGERE PRINCESS WOOL DRESS AND BOLERO JACKET

Pauline Trigère

Born in Paris in 1912, immigrated to the US in 1937. By 1942 she was designing under the name "Trigère", having spent the previous years working for Ben Gershal, Travis Banton and Hattie Carnegie. Trigère was a master cutter; she worked directly on a live model. Her garments were known for sophisticated and structured tailoring, and the best of these were her coats and dresses made from fine wools. She even made evening dresses from wool - in designs that were elegant, never frilly or fussy.

To see Trigère's work in action, watch the movie, Breakfast at Tiffany's. Trigère dresses the character played by Patricia Neal. The clothes are the embodiment of dramatic sophistication.

REFINED AND POLISHED this beautifully tailored 1960s suit ensemble made in a pastel yellow wool featuring a V neckline and princess cut sleeveless dress with a wingtip collar, matching open bolero jacket. Both dress and jacket are lined silk and dress closes with a back Talon zipper. Extremely well made and constructed.
