Frank Tigxino Label - Is This Frank Tignino?

[Rosie Bowker]

I've come across a lovely silk slip dress with a label reading Frank Tigxino. I'm not familiar with the designer and not one single entry on that name turns up on Google, etc.
I'm wondering if it could be a variation or alternate for Frank Tignino, a NY-based designer who appears to be the design director at Geoffrey Beene before opening his own studio. An existing Frank Tignino tag uses a very similar font.
I've run this past a fashion historian friend and she couldn't identify so wondering if anyone can help solve this fashion mystery!

Thanks so much!

That is so interesting. I have no answers, but you are right. Those signatures are so similar in their flourishes and capital letters!

I hope somebody may be able to help you here! I find nothing on Newspapers.com for a Frank Tigxino.

Good luck.

I wonder if Frank Tignino could be reached? You probably saw this: http://franktignino.blogspot.com/

Any chance it is the same name, with that first n not clearly written?

I did see the blogspot--thanks! I've looked at the tag carefully and just don't see how that letter could be an N. The writing is very clear and distinct--definitely an X!
