GEORGE STAVRINOS-
DESIGNED
DECOUPAGE PIN
("PIKE'S PEAK")
PHOTOGRAPHED FOR WOMEN'S WEAR DAILY
PUBLISHED MARCH 31, 1972 (p. 28)
George Stavrinos (1948-1990) is here identified as a "Boston boutique designer." Nineteen-seventy-two seems to have been early days for him; his career as an illustrator obviously took off afterwards. His New York Times obituary is here; the citation for his induction into the Hall of Fame is here.
Meanwhile, however, for this piece in WWD, Stavrinos talked about finding "a new place for the decoupage pins he makes out of old postcards -- jammed into hatbands. 'I can see Clark Gable wearing the look, sitting at his typewriter in the city room with Roz Russell hanging over him.'"
