Patou

by Meredith Etherington-Smith

Every time a woman buys a bottle of Joy perfume, every time a striped V-neck sweater is pulled down over a pleated skirt, every time real sports clothes are used as an inspiration for fashion design, Jean Patou survives. With photographs, illustrations and 8 pages of color from the Patou archives.
