Denise Perrier

There is something irresistibly cinematic about Perrier's story. A girl from the small town of Ambérieu-en-Bugey who won Miss World in 1953 and remains, to this day, the only Frenchwoman ever to take the title. Seven decades on, that record still stands, which tells you just how singular the achievement was. She went on to model and act, but it is the unbroken nature of that crown that stays with me. Now in her nineties and known as Denise Perrier Lanfranchi, she is a living piece of French cultural history, and I can only offer my respect to a record that has outlasted generations.
