About

Princess Irene Galitzine was a Russian-Georgian-born fashion designer whose most renowned creation was the "palazzo pyjama."

1916 Irene Galitzine was born in Tiblisi, the capital of Georgia. Her mother was a Russian princess and her father was an officer in the Tsar's Guard.

When the October Revolution broke out the Galitzine family decided to leave Russia and after a short stop in Constantinople, subsequently arrived in Rome. Irene adopted the city as her new home and took up residence there once she had become successful. As she had come to Italy when she was just one year old, Irene grew up to be perfectly bilingual.
