People In The News
NEW YORK (AP) — In
her more than 50-year career
in the fashion industry,
designer Pauline Trigere has
had many labels attached to
her name.
Her friend Barbara Taylor
Bradford added another
Wednesday: "New York’s
greatest treasure.”
Introducing Trigere at the
Fashion Walk of Fame induc-
tion ceremony, best-selling
author Bradford said the 92-
year-old designer has never
retired and has more energy
than anyone else around.
“She’s 92 going on 25."
Bradford, whose latest
novel is “The Triumph of
Katie Byrne." said she has 50
of Trigere’s designs hanging
in her closet, describing them
as “constantly stylish.”
Trigere, wearing a white
pantsuit and a black-and-
white blouse, and couture
designer James Galanos
accepted miniature versions
of the street plaques. Donna
Karan and Oscar de la Renta
did not attend but they also
have been awarded spots on
the Walk of Fame in
Manhattan’s Garment
District.
The selections committee,
which included representa-
tives from the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, Vogue, The
Washington Post, Macy’s and
Lord & Taylor, also chose
four designers to honor
posthumously.
