The Designer
Adeline Andre is a French designer who was born in the Equatorial French Bangui in Africa. Her family, of Scottish roots, mined gold and diamonds. She is also the great grand daughter of the constructor of the first railway in Egypt. She studied at School of the Syndicate Chamber of Parisian Couture, graduating in 1970. She then went to the Cristian Dior House. She was a couture assistant and worked alongside Marc Bohan. She then opened her own designer house in 1981. She came up with the "three sleeve hole". There was this really interesting article on her on WWD.com, here's the link:

Unknown Terms
Linda Dresner - first retailer to sell Jill Sanders minimalistic clothes and sells many chic fashion designer's wares now.
Three Sleeve Hole - I seriously couldn't find an image anywhere. In the article I linked up above they talk a bit about the sleeves. It seems to be a really big deal for her, so I'm surprised that there isn't a picture anywhere... Read the article, its like a paragraph long and really interesting!
Spring 2010 Couture
This is really the only one that is figure flattering (almost) and actually wearable out and about. she is VERY into color and chiffony fabric, multiple layers. Hence the three sleeve hole I believe.
Very orange. I actually like the red lipstick a lot here though.
Yellow!:) fav color right now, actualy painted my nails as such lol:) like spring, which we all so dearly miss
Big fan of this color, what a pretty blue:)
The most popsickle like one of them all:) here you can really see the layers. Fashion as more of an art, and experiment with color and fabric. It is beautiful, just not what I'm used to:) Adeline Andre has officially been the most interesting designer of them all so far:)
Hope you enjoyed her as much as I did:)
Stay warm!
