Irene picnicking with Clark Gable and friends
It’s been a while since I updated the site with news or photos. I have been busy with work and family projects. For now, I’m going to post a photo I scanned a while back.

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
