Paris, France 1981

While in the height of my career as an International Fashion Advisor promoting Paris fashion around the world, my apartment in the 7ème arrondissement was over flowing with fashion magazines. After so many years of creating patchworks and mixing different patterns and textures in my designs, one evening I was inspired to cut these mysterious and sensual photographs out of the magazines, pasting them together into my first piece of découpage art. This piece truly exudes the 'L' Air du Temps' of designers like Yves Saint Laurent, Kenzo and so many others from the late 70's and early 80's. It measures 72cm x 57cm (28" x 22")

I discovered that creating découpage art tells a story and takes you on a magical journey...
