George Stavrinos

George Stavrinos (1948-1990) was an American illustrator. Born in Somerville, Massachusetts, he graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1969. After a year of study abroad he began working for Pushpin Studios.

He was a 2007 inductee into the Society of Illustrators' Hall of Fame.[1]

His client list included Bergdorf Goodman, Barney’s, Blueboy, Gentleman’s Quarterly, New York Times and the Met Opera. His work for Bergdorf Goodman was hailed as significantly influential and expanded the notions of what Fashion Illustration could be, incorporating highly elaborate scenery with narrative qualities and cinematic reference.
