Rosemary was a wonderful guide!! We learned so much and she made a great effort to connect with my daughter and to give a unique Paris experience. Our dinner was filed with discussion of the different things we learned. And we are now big fans of Elsa Schiaparelli. Thank you, Rosemary!
Rosemary was a marvelous guide with unique insight into the history of fashion in Paris given her personal career experience working in a few of the finest fashion houses founded in Paris. She clearly spanned centuries of political and economic developments in France tying events and place to Paris fashion. Superb tour.
Rosemary gave an excellent overview of the history of fashion and how it was impacted by those in power. It was interesting to see how the change in fashion is impacted by political and social issues of the period.
