About Irene
Irene is my grand-aunt, and admired for her work in women's fashion and Hollywood costume design. Her talent as a successful clothing designer in Los Angeles led to her long career as a costume designer for many great films in Hollywood.. until her sudden death in 1962. I hope you enjoy your visit.. ~ Karlyn
I love this photo..
Karlyn: Yes, Irene seems to be at her best in the photo, and how wonderfully she relates to the style of the Florentine Mannerist painting by Bronzino behind her. The sitter was certainly fashionable as was Irene. I bet she like other Bronzino portaits too. Tomas
