I saw this woman in the vibrant coat across the street waiting for the light to change. The coat was colourful, yes, but she also had an ethereal quality that made the crowd around her look like scrambling ants. Originally from France, she is a corsetiere in training. Her instructor there once crafted corsets for Alexander McQueen, so we can only imagine how superlative her wares will be. She doesn’t have a place you can purchase them yet but she’ll email me when she does. Her multicoloured coat was made in Spain and purchased online from France.

How like you to spot people who are fascinating both inside and out! What a lovely presence she has.
I’ll bet that delightful coat is a Desigual item. How I’d love to see the corsets she’ll make. Oddly enough, Thomas Paine who wrote the pamphlet “Common Sense” that kicked off the American Revolution was a trained corset-maker!?
Wonderful! Like Terri, I was going to guess Desigual. Imagine you spotting someone this marvelously dressed who just happens to be a corsetiere. What are the chances?!
