Notes/Literature: Pauline Trigere (November 4, 1908 – February 13, 2002) was a Franco-American couturiere. Her award-winning styles reached their height of popularity in the United States during the 1950's and 1960's. Recognized early in her career as an innovator of cut and construction, Trigere brought to women of all ages all over the world such novelties as the jumpsuit, the sleeveless coat, the reversible cape, and the embroidered sheer bodice. She reinvented ready-to-wear fashion, matching form to function with bold prints and architectural silhouettes to create a distinctly modern female aesthetic. Trigere's loyal clients included Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor and Evelyn Lauder.
