Perhaps I should succumb to buying the book myself. Do you know what put me off? The hopelessly amateur website. Unbelievable. <br />I am sure you are right abut Beegle's wedding sleeves; and you would know if anybody would. See above that Will filmed Dawnridge for a programme on superhouses. xxRosieRose C'est La Viehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193872186283731567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-205231727184713705.post-10743424842789778052009-06-02T09:20:28.066-04:002009-06-02T09:20:28.066-04:00fabulous inspiring post on tony duquette. how come...fabulous inspiring post on tony duquette. how come i didn't know him till this point?! of course went straight to his website and then straight to amazon to find the details on the book. why did i ever install the 1-click-buy-option? dammit. but i must say, even if it would have been my last penny, the book is worth it. in it, amongst a load of other fantastic pictures, a couple more of beegle's wedding dress. from what i can see, the sleeves are of a certain taffeta (probably silk or acetate).<br />x mmfkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00032697284788584395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-205231727184713705.post-57654802744731656592009-06-02T07:57:32.154-04:002009-06-02T07:57:32.154-04:00Thanks Willy.

Hutton was very much the same character when we filmed him. What a godawful TV spot that is though, rush- cut and terrible presenter. <br />I will try to dig out the piece we did for BBC2, and also the pics i took at the remains of his property up in Malibu. Hutton actually lives up there in a modern house built on the site, but there are some of TD's pieces still dotted about.<br />I think more people need to know this story; not just the man's designs (which are fab) but the man himself.
