My Take

Inès de La Fressange embodies a certain effortless French elegance that I find genuinely aspirational rather than intimidating. A supermodel turned fashion designer and perfumer, she earned a spot in the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame back in 1998, which says everything about her staying power. Born in Gassin in 1957 and standing tall at 180 cm, she carries herself with the kind of relaxed confidence that can't really be taught. Being named an Officer of the National Order of Merit in 2011 underlines how seriously France takes her cultural standing. To me she represents style as a way of living, not just dressing, and that's why she endures.
