PINK PALAZZO PYJAMAS
Irene Galitzine, 1963
Silk with beads and gold braid
Claiming Russian royal lineage, Princess Irene Galitzine was a Roman designer credited with creating the ‘palazzo pyjama’ ensemble. This style of tapered trousers and boxy tunic became a chic choice for less formal evening wear. American First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy wore Galitzine’s palazzo pyjamas for informal entertaining.
