  • Date of creation, length, hook and QPQ review all checked and are fine. I've archived all the references using webcitation.org to prevent future linkrot.
  • One source gets her age wrong and, by implication, her year of birth, but enough other sources support 1967 as given in the article. I've been through all sources and have checked for close paraphrasing, and have found none. Although some have "blog" in their URLs, I am satisfied that the websites hosting them (e.g. New York Times, Sotheby's) are suitably reliable, and to be honest they look more reliable than your average blog posting.
  • · I have just one query: the sentence American model, Carmen Dell’Orefice opened the show wearing an elaborate white embroidered fur-lined gown, with an escort of four to help carry its train. doesn't appear to be supported by ref [6]. Please could you check and make any changes if necessary; it may be that another source supports this. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 20:00, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the review. The highlighted fact is given midway through the NYT article, ref #3. I've taken out "opened", ref #7 does say that (caption on last photo) but I've come across another source saying that she closed it, so I'll just stick with what I can confirm.

Thanks; I've checked the changes and am happy to mark as verified. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 18:36, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
