Music Producer; Idea Creator; Model Paris
While The CoveTour de France may have come to an end, we’re living vicariously through the countless photos we snapped during our travels to keep the city of lights at the forefront of our minds. Caroline de Maigret ladies and gents, a woman who takes the concept of “fashion comeback” to new levels. The granddaughter of Prince Michel Poniatowski (former Minister of the Interior and Health in France), and the daughter of Count Bertrand de Maigret, Caroline began her modeling career in 1994, and instantly began working with photographers like Mario Testino, Peter Lindbergh and Terry Richardson. Shortly after giving some serious face to their famous lenses, she began to hit the catwalks, walking for houses like CHANEL, Balenciaga and Marc Jacobs. She’s launched a rock music label called Bonus Tracks Records with her partner Yarol Poupaud (they also have a sick studio inside their apartment), set up a publishing company called Yarock Editions where they produce soundtracks and music for various ads, and most importantly, she’s the proud mother of her son Anton, a kid who is bound to inherit some serious musical chops….as well as a kick ass piano. Considered a CHANEL muse, in 2011, the fashion house asked her back on the catwalk, and the fashion industry since followed. From the beginning of last year, she’s appeared in Italian Vogue, Vogue US, Vogue UK and i-D and has shot with Steven Meisel, Inez & Vinoodh, and of course, everyone’s favorite uncle – Karl Lagerfeld. Oh, did we mention that she was nominated by the Cesar Academy (the French Oscars) for “Best Soundtrack of the Year”? Take a tour though her pad (which happened to be an artists studio prior) – it’s about as close to Paris as we’re going to get…for now.
I used to catwalk for CHANEL a lot when I was modeling in the late 90's, but to walk again now, in my mid-30's, as a mother and a label record owner is much more important to me and, I feel, to other women as well. CHANEL is much more than 'couture', they are strongly involved in all kind of arts, helping young artists to develop.

In the frames are Gene Tierney again, my ancestor Stanislas Poniatowski and the family castle near Saint Paul de Vence. And of course, my classic cologne. I heard Coco loved only white flowers, I'm the same, they're the only kind I have at home. The smell of lilies drives me mad.

I like the boy-girl feeling of those CHANEL boots. They remind me of Mick Jagger next to that red Hofner Galaxy guitar from the 60's! I found this old barber chair in the south of France at a garage sale.

It is the coolest thing - it's like a glittered mechanic jumper! I was asked to walk in it for the A/W show 2011/2012. I love how Karl Lagerfeld and his team always choose clothes specifically for me and what I would wear myself. They know my style, quite androgynous.

We had the chance to have a home studio in the apartment where we produce most of the soundtracks and mixes. We have a bigger studio near Pigalle to record the bands live. Peter Philips is a master of color and texture, I like to wear strong-colored nail polish with my short nails.

We had this Telecaster made for our son's 5th birthday. He couldn’t care less, so it stays by our books for now!

This piano used to be Gene Tierney's, she's such a wonderful actress. I'm so proud to own it. Those small eye shadow brushes are great to travel with.

Couture dress, but I do not own it. I wore it for a party in Paris a few days before the pic, a dream dress. The truth is CHANEL is the only "Maison de Couture" that makes me dream in 2012.
