About This Item
WINDSOR, Wallis Duchess of (1896-1986). Le Coeur a ses raisons, les mémoires de la Duchesse de Windsor. Paris: Del Luca, 1956.
First French edition. The English edition published under the name The Heart Has Its Reasons.
Signed and inscribed by the Duchess of Windsor to Lucienne Rabaté (1885-1960), the renowned hat designer known as the greatest milliner of the Roaring Twenties, who ran the most important hat shop in Paris, Caroline Reboux.
Lucienne Rabaté played a crucial role in Coco Chanel's early fashion career, teaching her the artistry and business of millinery while assisting in the successful launch of her first hat shop in Paris. A nice association.
