Eleni Epstein & the Washington Star
I just received the final edition of the Washington Star that I found on ebay. In the final edition is a photo of a very young Eleni Epstein – back then she was Helen Sakes. I am completing my work on Eleni’s career and plan to send out a manuscript soon.

Eleni and the Inauguration
Washington Star fashion editor Eleni Epstein would have loved the Inauguration activities this year. She was a regular White House visitor in her day. I am hoping to send off the Eleni manuscript soon.

Pauline Trigere
This is a photo of designer Pauline Trigere who Washington Star fashion editor Eleni Epstein wrote about in several stories and a book chapter. This is one of the skirts Pauline designed. Her clothes go for hundreds of dollars on ebay and can be found in museum collections. She would have made a great judge on Project Runway – as would have Eleni.

Eleni Epstein and Pauline Trigere
Washington Star fashion editor Eleni Epstein wrote was the leading authority on designer Pauline Trigere. (She was a household name in her day.) Epstein wrote a chapter about Pauline in the above book. I just tracked down a first-edition copy on Amazon. This is a photo of Pauline’s star on the Fashion Hall of Fame in Manhattan that Lance and I took two years ago. We go to New York City each spring – the location of our first date. Last year we went through the Fashion Group International papers at the New York Public Library and learned more about Eleni.
