She was a dancer and at the time was the wife of painter/sculptor Armand Vaillancourt - still going strong in local art circles, and still a friend of Cohen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-65742063483760979742008-06-25T17:02:00.000+01:002008-06-25T17:02:00.000+01:00One of my favorites.

What is it about this timeless design? Bodies are covered, yet unrestricted. Is it the ultimate marriage of form and function? Tradition and fashion? Or is it just that you know someone spent a small fortune at the tailors?danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902311224633734779noreply@blogger.com
