Andrée Putman
Here she is in September 2002 in her flat in Paris
sitting for Vogue Japan holding a silver glove, one of her favorite objects.
One of her quotes about the cliché of style:
“too much Louis and too many flowers”
She was slightly late for our appointment having just landed from Tokyo.
It took her five minutes to change. Such energy and discipline.
A great lady.
Andrée was quiet happy with the portrait and sent me
a thank you note in her unmistakable calligraphic writing.
Suede white shoes
Andrée designed for Charles Jourdan,
I thought they looked like a pair of wings.
Andrée might be using them now.
oOo
Elle continue de resplendir la nuit quand le ciel est étoilé.

i never felt like americans understood at all her genius or her style.

She had a way of saying "c'est foooorrmidable" with this deep-smoking-Gitane voice I'll never forget...
