Can you tell me about Jacqueline de Ribes?
Janet:
The Encyclopedia Of Fashion by Georgina O'Hara states that Jacqueline de Ribes was born Jacqueline de Beaumont in France. An internationally famous society hostess, de Ribes launched a line of clothes in 1983. She is noted mainly for her elegant, stately day and eveningwear. "There is no elegance without grace, no grace without ease" - The Vicomtesse Jacqueline de Ribes. See her portrait in Xray Photographs by Francois Nars.
