January 17, 201213 yr 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.
January 17, 201213 yr Author Wow, beautiful picture! And thanks for the info on Michelle. I look forward to seeing more pics.
January 18, 201213 yr 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.
