In Jean-Louis Deniot’s latest, an opulent palace conceived for a member of the Qatari royal family and unveiled and beautifully showcased  in Vogue Arabia.

This new project with Jean-Louis Deniot, featuring extraordinary custom creations by Marie Christophe, brings me back to a place I’ve never forgotten—Deauville.

Years ago, I was completely taken by the  effortless glamour of Deauville. Known as the Riviera of Parisians, Deauville has a quiet kind of luxury, but what stayed with me most was the poetry of it all—the long stretch of sandy beach, the iconic striped parasols, the charming cabines de plage, and that beautiful 1920s wooden boardwalk. And the seashells… truly the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.

There’s a distinct Belle Époque spirit in this project that echoes those memories.
