Yes, models and mannequins are thin and can Strike a Pose, but a hip bone that runs clear across her stomach? <br /><br />My favorite photo is of Madam Chanel, at first glance her suit, pose, hat, cigarette. But on second look, it is a fashion show dressing room, extra jackets tossed over a chair, the model in a then less structured girdle, the dresser. I wonder if she had concerns about the reception of her now-classic collection.
