French born American designer Pauline Trigère (1909-2002)
Patricia Neal dressed by Trigère in Breakfast at Tiffany's
Pauline Trigère was famous for her coat designs, especially for her swing coats. This notable example shows how she has adapted her swing silhouette for use with leopard skin. The dolman sleeves are an interesting touch that allows for an attractive display of this handsome fur. Designed by Trigère, this coat, according to accession information, was made by Jerry Sorbana in 1962.

I do not think Patricia Neal was ever dressed better than in "Breakfast at Tiffanys", suitable as her role was an affluent interior decorator.
