[Greenwich Village by Anna Alice Chapin]@TWC D-Link book
Greenwich Village

CHAPTER VIII
14/31

It is a simple art but a striking one, and the aesthetic sense, the instinct for balance and proportion and ultimate beauty of line and composition, has a splendid outlet.
There is, too, the trade of the designer of garments: the word is advisedly substituted for dresses.

The real designer plans and executes pictures, mood-expressions, character settings.

She dreams herself into the personalities of her clients, also the necessities and the limitations! Do you think all the artistic costume-creating is done in the Rue de la Paix?
Try the Village! And the florists! The flower shops of the Village are truly lovely, one in particular, the Peculiar Flower Shop, which does not look at all like a shop but like the corner of a country garden.

The Village loves flowers and understands them.

Every Villager who can, grows them.
