“Off the rack solutions, like bargain basement dresses never fit anyone.”
That’s a quote from Françoise Giroud, former French Minister of Culture and had responsibility for museums and monuments; promoting and protecting the arts in France and abroad, managing the national archives, culture centers and protecting French identity.
In other words, she was the gal who kept France French!
And though on the surface her quote might sound trivial, there’s a lot of truth in it.
She was born 100 years ago today.
