"Bohan's autumn / winter collection - awarded the Golden Thimble prize for best haute couture collection that season - was both luxurious (with gold brocades, fur trims and rich embroideries) and whimsical (with dramatic, feather-like volumes and a masquerade theme complete with black velvet masks both real and embroidered over short evening jackets.)"
Dior, Catwalk, Yale University Press
