Spirit of the Petit Trianon Lives On in Modern Fashion Satire
A playful column traces echoes of Marie Antoinette’s Petit Trianon through 1970s satire. It cites a West Virginia news item about John D. Rockefeller IV selling two 1973 Mercedes, jokes about “man of the people,” and a Paris report on “status poverty” fashion. The piece puns on aristocratic excess, mentions Rockefellers and fashion houses, and closes noting the spirit endures in campus Ghetto Poets.
