12. CORRIGEZ, S’IL VOUS PLAÎT: Slide 2 -- Dates in proper French way Slide 3 -- He designed “une chaussure”? Laquelle? Slide 6 – What does a coutourier’s emballeur do, i.e., what does he pack? Slide 8 – Please correct: Vuitton deputed an entirely new tronc. (When you’re writing primarily in English, foreign words should always be in italic style. Slide 9 – Why is this important? “also from Isma’il Pasha, And the Khedive of Egypt.” Who are these people? Slide 11 -- haut bleu : “haut” means “top” as a height, that is, the top of a mountain. You need to use the correct clothing word for her blouse. Also, talons are nails when not used with the word for shoes. You need to add a list of works cited for this report, especially when it’s clear that you have quoted the source, as on slide 7: “She provided a gateway for Vuitton to a class of elite and royal clientele who would seek his services for the duration of his life.”
