« The year is 1959, my mother gets a coupon to make a dress for her draftee ball. That year is her 20th. She is still training at Madame Camille’s to become a dressmaker, she works with this lady’s son who creates fur coats. […]

Exhibiting this dress allows my close relatives to experience a bit of my mother’s soul and allows her memory to live on ; I think she would be proud to see her work exhibited and appreciated. »
