The anecdote about Grace Kelly's sympathy note moved me greatly. as did the 2012 Kelly exhibition in Bendigo Australia. NOTHNG LIKETHIS WAS EVER IN MY MILIEU.
@@margyrowland It was bliss .I have an unfinished epic poem about it that I haven't in eight years been able to finish. It is a section on the designers in Kelly's life. The poem is called GRACE IN BENDIGO. i will have to hole up somewhere and finish it.. IN 2016 i WENT TOTHE MONROE EXHIBITION WHERE I REALISED CURVACEOUS MARILYN WAS TINY.. tiny. and her personal wardrobe demure.
Mrs Bloomingdale had class. She was wealthy, but gracious and sharing and relatable. This documentary is so lovely and inspiring. PS Mrs B was also very beautiful, desirable, and sexy. It must have been very exciting to spend time with her, what a woman.🙂🙂🙂❤💯
And of course, because she kept her slim figure, like the NY Swans, so she always carried the clothes beautifully. Nowadays, the women are doing surgery to get a better figure or exaggerate their bosoms and behinds. 😮
Her comment on GF Ferre'aggravets me a lot: isn't HC supposed to be a dream that actually becomes adapt to your real needs and the world you live in? She was not capable to translate herself in his creations, and the reason could be she was getting old, or maybe she was just a rich American who needed to be lead to the dress: You should partecipate, as a client, to the creativity process, but she could not with Ferre': very telling about her nature! Not for nothing she held Bohan in great esteem... not somebody who could revolutionize anything made of fabric. She had money but she wasn't much more than a wearer: she would be ideal client of MGC & Virgine.
I once saw Emmanuel Ungaro at the hotel where I was working 40 years ago. What a gorgeous & statuesque Frenchman. 😍 Even women who did not know who he was turned to look at him. After that, I bought his scarves when I went to Paris. . .All I could afford in my youth.😢
No one really dresses like this anymore. When in person interviews were done, and ended just recently, the young people would come in in bermuda shorts. low cut tank tops and big earrings
