A sojourn to the heart of France’s winelands: Falguni Peacock shares her most memorable getaway of 2019
Visiting Grey Goose’s secret invite-only manor was the highlight of Falguni Peacock’s year.
Up, Close and Personal
“Something that totally superseded my expectations this year, and was in a way a discovery for me, was the French countryside.
I recently visited Paris for a fashion shoot and was invited on a two-day sojourn to Le Logis - the 17th-century country manor of the world-famous brand Grey Goose. Wanting to enjoy the beautiful French countryside, I chose to take the train to Cognac. What I chanced upon was something that topped my expectations. Rolling hills, towering windmills, and open skies, the view from our train windows were (well) worth the one and a half hour ride to the Grey Goose house. Never had I discovered such lush scenic views in the countryside before.”
Going Back in Time
Against the backdrop of grey clouds and rolling hills, the town with its nearby foliage looked like a snapshot straight out of a fairy-tale. The crisp air, green meadows and petite houses harmoniously came together to make it an experience worth looking forward to again.”
A few months ago, the Karl Lagerfeld house announced the launch of 'A Tribute to Karl: The White Shirt Project' to honour his memory and legacy. From Cara Delevingne, Alessandro Michele, Sébastien Jondeau to Kate Moss, Diane Kruger and Helen Mirren, dozens of celebrities, artists and personalities who were close to the designer came together to create their own interpretations of one of Lagerfeld's most cherished basics – the white shirt.
Lagerfeld had once said, “If you ask me what I’d most like to have invented in fashion, I’d say the white shirt. For me, the white shirt is the basis of everything. Everything else comes after.”
All of the reimagined white shirts were unveiled at Paris Fashion Week on September 25. Here are some of the designs that caught our eye.
