    Lucile's design

    When I have been to Paris, I have seen there real designs by Lucile (Lucy Duff-Gordon). One of them was signed and the price of each of them was 150 Euro. Do you think it's a good price?

    What did Lucile SOUND like

    I realise that this might appear to be a rather peculiar question (and apologies, as ever, if it has been answered elsewhere) but I wonder if anybody could tell me what kind of VOICE Lady Duff Gordon had?

    Maison Lucile in Paris

    I am going to Paris next friday and I was wondered if the "Maison Lucile" on Rue de penthievres still stands.

    Hi, all: Thanks to Don Lynch for the heads up about the inclusion of some Lucile originals in the current costume design exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. He's going to be attending soon and I thought that other friends of ET who live in the area might also like to stop in...
