Pauline Trigere vintage costume jewelry
French – American fashion designer Pauline Trigere (4 November 1912 – 13 February 2002) became famous for her original ideas, both in the design of models and in the creation of accessories. The New York Fashion Walk of Fame bears the name of this venerable woman. And even after her death, Pauline’s Fashion Houses are working in Europe and America with the same success.
Born in France to a family of immigrants from Russia, her father Alexander was a taylor and her mother Cecile – a dressmaker. Before the outbreak of World War II, the designer moved to New York with her husband and briefly worked at the Hattie Carnegie fashion house before opening her atelier. Noteworthy, she was the first female designer in the United States to actively use African American fashion models in her advertising campaigns. Hollywood stars, such as Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor, and elegant beauties of the 1950s and 60s, like Jacqueline Kennedy, shone in her jewelry, including the cast of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. She has combined a successful design career with an active teaching career at the Parsons New York School of Design. In 1992, she celebrated the 50th anniversary of her creative career, having won numerous top COTY (American Fashion Critics Award) awards and the CFDA Lifetime Achievement award during her lifetime. Pauline Trigere jewelry is a collector’s item. The designer worked in small editions, as she focused on creating clothing collections. The best examples of her jewelry are in private collections and the price for them will grow every year.
