Designer Spotlight: Barbara Tfank

Barbara Tfank knows a thing or two about designing clothes.





Barbara Tfank knows a thing or two about designing clothes. The petite lady with a signature black bob is a costume and fashion designer. She has designed costumes for feature films and television commercials and has worked on such full-length features as "Beautician and the Beast" and "Dream Lover."

Since arriving in Los Angeles in 2001, Barbara splits her time between So. Cal and her hometown, New York, where she lives four months out of the year. Her under-the-radar clothes, sold exclusively at Barneys, are classic and very reminiscent of "Breakfast at Tiffany's." The designer thinks it's chicer to not be overexposed (case in point: she doesn't even have a website) and that fact is reflected in her simple and elegant clothes.
