Former model and fashion icon Ines de la Fressange will receive France’ s highest honour in recognition of her contribution to style and fashion. She will receive the Legion of Honour in a ceremony to take place on June 18th. The 51 year-old one time Chanel model, whose full name is Inès Marie Laetitia Églantine Isabelle de Seignard de la Fressange is also a celebrated muse of Karl Lagerfeld.
The New York Times described her style as a simple mix of T-shirts, tailored trousers and cropped jackets, worn with piles of accessories and a sense of humor. “Don't be afraid to make mistakes. If you have never put a foot wrong, you're probably too set in your ways...“ she was quoted as saying by the British press.
