Agathe, a Parisian native, designs haute couture jumpsuits. Her elegant boutique is at 25 Elizabeth St.
She offered members of the Circle of Friends breast cancer support group at Griffin Hospital - of which I'm a member - to model her jumpsuits in a charity fashion show to celebrate the boutique's first anniversary. Six of us were models.
I was thrilled to be a part of what turned out to be an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime event held at the Derby Senior Center.
Agathe shared this photo taken Tuesday at her shop.
