The Streisand Style Files was created in 2018 and is an unofficial fan page, created and curated by me- Renée Nicole Gray. Visit BarbraStreisand.com to see her official page. I am an NYC area fashion historian, writer, artist, designer, performer, and lifelong Streisand fan.
I discovered Barbra Streisand at nine years old when seeing her in a television clip from the 1993 New Years Eve concert. I was instantly transfixed by Barbra’s one-of-a-kind voice & sought to find out more about her. Through my local library, I was able to borrow Barbra’s movies, biographies, and cassette tapes. I especially grew to identify with Barbra based on the fact that we both came from poor single-parent backgrounds without a father. Barbra’s albums became the soundtrack to my life and her voice was my source of comfort as I grew up. She inspired me to be unique and follow my dreams, which took me from Maine to NYC at the age of 18.
My life long dream of seeing Barbra live came true in 2006. I have been fortunate enough to have seen her in concert eleven times since, including being one of the lucky fans to win a ticket to the Village Vanguard show, and most recently at all three 2019 shows including Hyde Park, London.
This passion project combines my love for research, writing, costume design, history, fashion, and all things Barbra. I hope Streisand fans enjoy reading and learning about Barbra’s style as much as I do researching it.
