Amazing Michelle!Thanks Spiral.

Awesome to find information about Michelle Legare. I had the privilege to work with her in Toronto back in the late 80's before she left for Paris to become famous. She modelled for our small clothing line (will post some photos). I miss her, and unfortunately we lost touch soon after she left. I've heard from other sources that she is now living in London, England and has a son.

Wow, beautiful picture! And thanks for the info on Michelle. I look forward to seeing more pics.

And here's another shot from 1989 where she's wearing an outfit that we designed for a fundraiser with the theme of a Russian Ball.

Stunning picture, I love its vintage look. How wonderful that you got to work with her.

Thank you so much,TorontoEW!

Thanks, everyone! Glad that there are a bunch of us who are true Michelle Legare fans
