Scope and content
Typescript pen portrait of Mitzah ('Mizza') Bricard, muse and advisor to Christian Dior. Beaton focuses particularly on Bricard's work following the death of Dior in 1957, but also discusses her professional relationships with, among others, Edward Molyneux and Cristóbal Balenciaga. Beaton observes that it will be a great loss when Bricard retires from the world of fashion, since "there are few with her knowledge and expertise".
