Catalogue Note
Déjà âgée, Barbara Hutton qui devait subir des examens à l’hôpital américain, déclara à l’infirmière qui l’accompagnait : "Ma fille, vous ne pouvez pas arriver avec moi comme vous êtes. Allez donc dans mon dressing, choisissez un tailleur Balenciaga, faites-le retoucher chez Balenciaga et il sera à vous !" Elle choisit ce tailleur.
