SCORPIO Scorpios are enigmatic and not easily understood, either by themselves or by those around them. Scorpios are full of contrasts. They see life in black and white - as evil or divine, depending on their mood. They are passionate almost to a fault, intuitive, and possess an uncanny ability to see behind events and around corners.
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.
