Marie Antoinette on fashion


Marie Antoinette has something to say in the defense of fashion!



"It is true I am rather taken up with dress; but as to feathers, everyone wears them and it would seem extraordinary if I did not."

In response to a letter from Maria Theresa March, 5 1775

    We have repeated fashions throughout time. I don't think we've ever repeated the feather fashion. Have we?
