Is as exotic as she sounds. French by birth, she was brought up all over the world (Bali, Goa, St Barth, Spain, France Indonesia, India) by her mother who was 'doing that hippie thing'. For eight years she was a model in Paris, then worked for the famous Verney jewellery house (creator of Poiray), buying and selling stock and organising exhibitions. Capucine studied at the École Boulle, the French École Supérieure for interior architecture and design. Once her studies were complete she worked for several years as an interior designer for private clients before coming to London and joining Christian Liaigre as the manager of the U.K showroom. Capucine's decorating skills are evident, but it helps to have inherited from her family such fine antiques as a Louis XVI console and a Louis XV bureau de pente. Her early design sensibilities have developed throughout her working life into a deep appreciation of quality, detail and the aesthetic beauty of the natural world.
