A vanished way of life

This is a dedication to my incredible parents who gave me my first insight (without even realizing, I guess) to the world of Modelerism.

My mother had her own tailor from the age of 16, as she never liked anything ready made. Her own timeless designs were made to measure, to fit beautifully. She always advised me 'timelessness' is chic, no fuss, minimal jewelry. How very French of her I thought. 

My dad was in a class of his own: always graceful, impeccable manners and formally dressed, even in the University lecture room he would wear a full suit. In fact, the whole class would. When I look at their pictures I envy their era, that formality, attention to detail and taking the time for the simple things in life. 

A vanished way of life, delivered so graciously.
