COOL OVER 50
I n the 80’s Inès de la Fressange reigned as the premier
model of the era. Muse to Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel
throughout the decade (until they parted ways in
1989) she was, according to the WSJ, the first model
to sign an exclusive modeling contract with a French fashion
house and later went on to serve as the model for Marianne,
the symbol of France. She reunited with Lagerfeld at the Chanel
Spring/Summer 2011 show.
L’Oréal model, Uniqlo
collaborator, Roger Vivier
brand ambassador, author and
blogger – Inès de la Fressange
is tireless. She also runs her
namesake brand and boutique,
Inès de la Fressange. Beloved
for her effortless French
style, she is busy these days
promoting her book Parisian
Chic City Guide, a follow-up
to her New York Times best-
seller Parisian Chic, a bible for
fashion-loving women.
“People imagine I am always
in a Bentley with pearls and
diamonds and black glasses
and Karl Lagerfeld next to
me,” declares Inès but she is
not only France’s coolest over-
50 woman, she is a woman of
many accomplishments.
“The secret of great
style is to feel good
in what you wear.”
-Inès de la Fressange
