“My father was a photographer and creative genius, and took this amazing picture with my mother on the Champs Élysées in Paris … We spent our family holidays cruising in our Citroën 2CV to Italy or France, strolling through markets, visiting museums and enjoying local food. The curiosity and openness to discover different cultures through the people, their language, craft, art and architecture is still a strong inspiration to me.” Valerie Jantz, founder, Leophil, Sydney
