by Jingetsu Isomi

Eighteenth-century France--the eve of a revolution. At the court of Versailles was a certain dressmaker who enjoyed even greater influence than the nobility, despite her commoner roots. This woman’s name was Rose Bertin. Favored by the tragic queen Marie-Antoinette, she was then swallowed up by the tides of revolution. This is the story of the bold, pioneering woman credited as the mother of fashion design. (Source: MangaPlaza)
