A small room in Saumur
where fabric was scarce
but imagination never was.

She cut away the excess
untied the corset's grip
and gave women space to breathe.

Black became elegance
simplicity, a revolution.
Pearls fell like constellations
on a dress that moved with the body.

She lived between shadows and spotlights,
with whispers of scandal
woven into her name.

Yet always,the thread remained:
a vision of freedom
stitched into every seam.
