EAT YOUR HEART OUT MARIE-ANTOINETTE – TEXT BY PHILIPPE POURHASHEMI

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Have you ever shopped with Diane Pernet? It was my first time last Sunday and I have to admit I was impressed with the level of customer service she gets. Yoann Lemoine and Didier Vervaeren were on call to assist her with all her sartorial needs at Brussels vintage store Modes, including getting in -and out- of a beautiful, black vintage dress. My approach was less hands-on as I simply gave my opinion on the clothes she picked.

The impromptu fitting caused a bit of a stir in the store and I got this nice picture of a woman who couldn't help but stare. Love the expression on her face.

Best,
Philippe
