SOMETIMES A HAT IS JUST A HAT -- OR NOT: GEORGE STAVRINOS

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.'"

BILLY BOWERS PANTS & BELT: STREET FASHIONS

BILLY BOWERS

PANTS & BELT

from

Condé Nast

"The Rolling Stones were known for their love of outrageous pants, and this pair by one of their preferred designers, Billy Bowers, would have surely earned their approval. This one-of-a-kind pair of fly trousers (shown with a belt) came from the Caprice boutique in Boston. The photograph, by Gwendolyn Stewart, appeared in the October 20, 1976, issue of Women's Wear Daily."
