This is a reminder about a delightful website which shows the collection of Irenes by my friend Bret Fowler. The website is moderated by Irene's niece.

Have a nice visit. Claire Shaeffer

Last time I looked this wasn't completed yet - I have been fortunate enough to see all those suits and dresses in real life and his collection is spectacular (although I actually prefer his Bonnie Cashin collection!)

Many thanks for posting this, Claire--I've got it bookmarked! What a wealth of eyecandy and information (not that anything associated with Bret wouldn't be fabulous!)...

Irene herself is beautiful--hadn't ever seen a pic of her...
