L’ultima volta che l’abbiamo vista è stato in passerella, allo show della collezione Chanel estate 2011. Lei in Francia è un’icona. Prima modella e poi musa ispiratrice per schiere di creativi del mondo della moda (Karl Lagerfeld in testa) e dintorni dagli anni ‘70 in poi. Oltre a questo c’è il nobile lignaggio, perchè madame Ines De La Fressange, ha uno stuolo di nomi che per motivi di spazio qui non elenchiamo visto che è figlia di un marchese e di una modella argentina.
Al suo attivo ha una collezione di moda da lei disegnata, e poi ci sono le consulenze per Jean Paul Gaultier e Bruno Frisoni per Roger Vivier. Tutte queste cose le potete leggere in Profession Mannequin, la sua autobiografia scritta nel 2002, ma per i consigli di stile non potete perdervi Parisian Chic - A style guide by Ines De La Fressange. Dove finalmente vengono svelati i segreti per vivere a Parigi sprizzando glamour e allure in qualsiasi situazione, imprevu compresi.
Ines vi spiega come si veste una vera parigina, come si mescolano i capi basici e qual’è l’accessorio che vi svolta il look; oppure vi da’ qualche dritta su come avvolgervi di charme anche negli ambienti di casa e ufficio, sempre con quel tocco speciale che a un primo sguardo non sapresti definire. Il tutto con tanto di indirizzi da non perdere. E se ve lo dice la donna più chic di Parigi…

New Zeland
Cercando un po d'idee di arredamento - stile francese per la casa al mare ho trovato un sito di un albergo ad Akaroa - New Zeland molto simpatico.
Non penso sia una meta molto ricercata ma se per caso qualcuno volesse andare ad Akaroa ecco un consiglio:

Akaroa is a truly magical place where you can be as active or as relaxed as you choose to be. There is a wealth of things to do and see here in one of New Zealand's most scenic hidden gems.....or, you can just sit back and relax and watch the world go by, at Maison de la Mer.
Akaroa has a colourful history - first as a whaling outpost in the early 1800's, which inspired the French whalers to negotiate a land purchase from the local Maori tribe in the late 1830's. This led to a planned French settlement in Akaroa, which had the formal backing of the French government, then very active, and expansionary, in the South Pacific.
Fifty eight French settlers arrived in Akaroa aboard "Le Comte de Paris" in August 1840, along with a French naval frigate, only to be met by the British who had arrived 10 days earlier to protect British sovereignty established in the Treaty of Waitangi with all New Zealand Maori just a few months earlier in February 1840.
The French settlers were assured that their land purchases would be honoured, but under the British flag. Un-deterred, they settled in today's Akaroa, and farmed the surrounding hills and valleys. Many of the original families that settled here have Akaroa Streets named after them. French settlement is honoured every year with a French Festival - "Frenchfest". Part of the French Festival is the re-enactment of the landing of the French settlers in Akaroa. The antique ketch "Fox 11" brings in descendants of the original families to shore in period dress, with placards showing their family names, along to the tunes of our local brass band. It is quite a spectacle!
Much of this early history is documented in the Akaroa Museum, just along from Maison de la Mer on Rue Lavaud, and also in the unique museum at Okains Bay, which in addition to an early settler's museum, has a fabulous Maori artifacts museum - both of which are well worth a special visit.
