Pauline Trigere, one of the greatest names in American fashion, died in her sleep last night. We heard that her family wanted to take her to the hospital last night, but she refused because she had a hairdresser’s appointment this morning! That sounds very typical of her – stubborn to the end. I had the opportunity to work for Pauline for a number of years as “house photographer” for her shows. She was always very demanding but oh, so much fun to be around. Pauline Trigere was for me always bigger than life. Such a great lady. A real original – she will be missed by all of us.
