Great clip Jonathan - thank you, it's been a while since I've seen that.

Charlotte (who of course is a VFG member) has such an incredible collection. The most important collection of international couture in Australia, currently with over 8,000 pieces. I'm pleased to report that many beautiful Australian pieces have been added since the ABC Collectors program.

Apparently she will be loaning the Lucile to a museum in Guelph, near the FHM. They are mounting a show about her next year (Lucile grew up in Guelph.)

Such a monumental task to maintain and preserve this beautiful collection! I admire Charlotte's devotion to the project! Thank for sharing!
