13 July 2011 “When I’m shopping for frames, I look for a style that fits my face and is not too ‘original’. I used to wear red transparent glasses years ago, but that time is over for me. I have to wear glasses all the time, so they need to look good, be discreet and not too fragile. I wear both ophthalmic and sunglasses, and more and more, I love wearing sunglasses, even without the sun! I always start shopping for glasses at Selima Optic, on rue Vieille de Temple. They always have the frames that nobody else has in Paris, and they know what is good for me. Then if I don’t find what I like, I go where my eyes take me. My favourite brands are definitely Persol and Ray Ban for sunglasses (in the above photo with her dog James, Florence wears Ray Ban). For ophthalmic, I like Paul & Joe, Selima Optic, Tom Ford and Herrlicht. The colours I like best are transparent, light brown and sometimes black, depending on the design. I don’t have a particular fashion style – I follow my daily mood. But I always wear good fabrics – silk, cashmere and linen. This way, whatever you’re wearing looks smart and well cut. I work at home, so I am mostly casual, but when I have meetings I love suits and high heels, with silk lingerie. For fun, it could go from jeans to skirts, Tod’s to Louboutin, depending on the fun!” JG
