Re: George Simonton called in...

I was watching right at the time he called in, I thought Jane was going to start crying she was so surprised and thrilled he called in. They should bring him back.

I think I am remembering this correctly.

He said that women are looking for tops.

Most of us have settled on our favorite bottoms and need to complete the outfit.

 

I shop mostly tops.

Nice guy indeed.   But his designs didn't keep up with the times.  He did the same old lady clothes over and over again.

Loved George!  So many great designers at that time.  Remember Koos?? He was an eccentric soul!!!

Re: George Simonton called in...

I really miss Simonton's shows. Loved to hear him describe the "why" of every shaping seam and pleat. It was fascinating just listening to him. Does he still teach?
Time has passed... I miss all the old designers like Simonton, Mackie, and Louis.
