VIRGO With acute understanding and analytical, enquiring minds, Virgos are nobody's fools. They are conscientious, critical and thorough, so they are most comfortable when everything is in order. Calm, clean and consistent is almost a motto for Virgos. Once Virgos have got to know other people, they prove to be very loyal, considerate and loving.
CHRISTEL MAROTT Christel (Christel Marott, 1919-1992) was a concept representing a unique artist who, with her very own sense of style and elegance, was always ahead of her time. She was only seventeen when she made her debut as a self-conscious magazine illustrator and continued to illustrate both Danish and foreign weekly and fashion magazines throughout her entire life. Christel became synonymous with her provocative, long-legged girls and their exceptional, vibrant sensuality, at once both sober and rousing. This far-sighted ideal of a girl came to grace girls' books, paper dolls and fashion designs the world over, including magazines such as Vogue and Harpers Bazaar.
