With his first collection he not only shot to fame, but revived the general situation by reviving interest in a somewhat uninspired season…His house was newly decorated, his ideas were fresh and put over with great authority, his clothes were beautifully made, essentially Parisian, deeply feminine." (Vogue, April 1947).
