The French aren’t anywhere near as sensitive to the horrors as you think the English might be…gloomed by atom designs in textiles. The famous skimpy bathing costume was named ‘Bikini’ before the ashes had settled and last week, in Paris, a friend was wearing a new Dior hat…snow-white panama with a naval anchor called ‘Narvik’. I’m told Cecil Beaton, somewhere in print, described an elegant and attenuated creature as a ‘Belsen Beauty’ while there were still bodies on the ground in other unliberated camps. The ladies are though, I think, and would trim themselves with mice and spiders to be fashionable and remarkable
….Yours lee
