    Over fifteen years, Marcel Rochas developed his bird motif. “Birds lend themselves as graceful ornaments on the designs of Marcel Rochas. A white dove spreads its wings over the bodice of a plain black dress, while two blue birds perch on the shoulders of a youthful, pastel-blue evening ensemble.” La Femme de France, April 1934.
