Françoise Vermeer

In Crimes haute couture, the France Televisions adaptation of Third Girl, Françoise Vermeer is a model for the Maison Paget fashion house. There is no real parallel with any character in the original novel. Françoise is portrayed by Clara Antoons.

Françoise is the daughter of Narcisse Vermeer, a businessman who actually owns the Maison Paget fashion house. Françoise herself claims to be the supermodel and muse of the designer Édouard Paget. She actually has only a small role to play in the main plot. Most of her time is spent trying to romance Laurence, without success.
