Miss Rose Bertin

The fashion designer who owns a boutique on Saint-Honoré Street in Paris has become a favorite of Marie Antoinette thanks to her extraordinary talent, which is far beyond that of an ordinary commoner. As Marie Antoinette's exclusive dressmaker, she frequently attended the royal court and constantly led the latest fashion trends. When it came to the colors of the fabrics she brought in, her sharp instinct—demonstrated by Louis 16-sei in the original work, and by André Grandier in the anime adaptation—was so keen that even a single remark from her could set off a new trend. She was blessed with exceptional business acumen. Constantly proposing expensive dresses and ornaments to Marie Antoinette, she truly lived up to her reputation as a legendary fashion creator. The story that claims she was dismissed after the "Affair of the Diamond Necklace" for financial reasons is fictional; in historical fact, she loyally served Marie Antoinette until just before the queen was sent to the Conciergerie prison. Her trademark glasses lend an intelligent, mysterious impression.
