The Russian-born (or is that Ukranian?) designer was a beacon of American couture.
Never heard of Valentina before, and coming from that part of the world myself makes me think I should have. Well, I have now — loved the article! 🤍
So happy you've discovered her! She's been lost to history in many ways, so you're not alone in being unfamiliar with her story and work. The book on her is fantastic and I highly recommend if you'd like to learn more. :)
I've been a huge fan since Threads did an article on her-- I have one of their patterns pinned up on my bulletin board right now.
She was so brilliant and I hope her work keeps getting discussed. I'd love another book or exhibition!
What a great article, thank you! 💕 I love the apron idea she used- I could see those being adopted by modern wearers who don’t have any pockets.
Yes, we could all use a little extra storage!
Stokx patterns has a pattern for one very much like that!
