My thanks to Joe Boeckholt, who kindly shared this photo from one of Irene’s fashion shows. Joe and his wife Michele are working on a book about Harzfeld’s – a specialty store in Kansas City. Harzfeld’s offered fashions from many popular designers, including Irene.

This is a photo from my personal collection. On the back of the original photo is a typed message that reads..
A TYPICAL DAY WITH IRENE, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s talented executive designer, is proof that her work has just begun when she completed a sketch for some star. Each drawing means hour upon hour of discussion, plans, and changes before it finally is seen on the screen.
Irene begins her day by discussing sketches she has prepared for the forthcoming picture with one of her associate designers. They go over such things as style, fabric, color and the suitability of the costume to a particular star.
