Royal Court Fashion: Rose Bertin

One name that has managed to survive the French Revolution is that of Rose Bertin.

Without Rose, Marie-Antoinette might never have defined aristocratic French fashion of her day.

Let us remember that it was a king's mistress who usually set the fashion tone of the court during the 18th century, not the queen.
