Gina Fratini

Posted on 7:57 PM by ergeg
Gina Fratini started out her career as a designer for films and theater. Then in 1964 she began her own label.

She was known for her fun, romantic, whimsical designs that was a clear reflection of her earlier work.

Her fame grew in 1971 when one of her gowns was chosen by Princess Anne for her birthday portrait. Even after her business closed in the 80's she was a favourite among royalty and would often design for Princess Diana.

She also collaborated with Ossie Clark and designed gowns for Norman Hartnell.

Here are a few Gina Fratini items for sale:




1970's Maxi Dress, starting bid of £45.00

This is another designer I am just starting to learn about so I might end up adding on more information later.
