la grande dame (lah grahnd DAHM)

In French, une grande dame isn’t a grand old lady. It’s the phrase reserved for a woman of real standing — the one who shaped her field, held the family together, ran the thing everyone else just worked at. La grande dame de la mode. La grande dame du cinéma français. It is said with respect, and it has to be earned.

Set in bold inscriptional capitals beneath a fine laurel — the oldest mark there is for someone who has been recognized.

Most of what gets made for women over sixty is a joke about wine or a cartoon of a cat. This isn’t that. It’s an elegant piece of typography that says, without a wink or an apology, that the woman wearing it is formidable.

FOR THE WOMAN WHO
· Has been doing this longer than anyone
· Is somebody’s mother, and also entirely her own person
· Is retiring from something she built
· Mentored half the people in the room
· Has never once needed the attention and deserves it anyway

A milestone birthday, a retirement, Mother’s Day, or no occasion at all — some people should be told what they are while they’re still here to hear it.
