Trigere Designs Beaded Fabrics for Summer Styles
Pauline Trigere earns praise as America's most original designer and unveils fabric bead jewelry to match her summer lines. She threads beads from the very fabrics she uses, pairing blue black striped cotton beads with a striped dress and sheer black and white beads with another ensemble. Beads, about an inch, are worn as single strands, some draping to the bosom, some at the hips. The navel bead trims a series of meringue dresses, silk silhouettes with a tight under bust waist and a buoyant bust-to-shoulder puff.
