LIFE& STYLE
Eugenie shares some firsts and favourite things.
FIRST ADULT HOME? A two-bedroom terrace in Sydney’s Paddington.
BUCKET-LIST DESTINATION? Puglia (5). I almost got my wish: I was invited to attend Dior’s Cruise 2021 show at the Piazza del Duomo in Lecce last May. But then Covid-19 put a halt to that. At least I got to watch the livestream. Sigh.
BEST MEAL EVER? For a fancy meal, it’s a toss-up between Beige Alain Ducasse Tokyo (6), which sits atop the flagship Chanel store in Ginza, and Joel Robuchon’s restaurant in the Hotel Metropole in Monte Carlo (3). That said, my perfect breakfast is from Nosh in Cremorne: an extra-shot skim latte and cinnamon scroll.
DREAM CAR? A Land Rover Defender (6) for when I (eventually!) move to Northern NSW. Or anything comfartable that can tow a horse float.
FAVOURITE ARTISTS? I love the work of Wayne Pate (9) and Clara Adolphs (2).
FAVOURITE FASHION LABELS? My style has relaxed: Sir the Label and Matteau (10) for sundresses; Christopher Esber and Khaite or events; Loewe (8) for bags.
FAVOURITE MOVIE? Every stylista nominates The Talented Mr Ripley (7) but it delivers on so many levels. Relaxed tailored clothes, the interiors, the Amalfi Coast…
WHICH INTERIOR DESIGNERS INSPIRE YOU? Joseph Dirand designed one of my favourite Parisian restaurants, Loulou (1), in the heart of the Louvre.
FAVOURITE DOWNTIME PURSUIT My eight-year-old warmblood mare Rosalie, who I do dressage with. She’s very opinionated and needs constant reassurance, but is quite the character. Some days I feel like I’m her therapist.
SOMETHING YOU’D LOVE TO PURCHASE? Another horse – but I’m not allowed, so I’ll placate myself with custom riding boots from Celeris (4) instead.
YOUR NEXT WORK OR PASSION PROJECT? I’m in the early stages of developing my own skincare brand. Stay tuned!
