This week’s style diary guest is Dominique Serra, the Founder of the Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles, a world’s only women-only automobile competition. She launched the 27th competition in New York recently, at Brasserie Georgette, among a very interesting crowd that included among others Ms. Christine Lagarde, Head of the International Monetary Fund.
Since its creation in 1990, the Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles has the same vision for its competition: no speed and no GPS, just old fashioned navigation, completely off-road in the beautiful desert of Morocco. As Dominique calls it, a return to the roots of adventure! The only requirement is determination for these women who are of all ages, social backgrounds, nationalities, and levels of off-road experience. The competition is also doing its good deeds through the many philanthropic actions of the Rallye’s non-profit, Cœur de Gazelles. Dominique is a pure example of feminism and strength blending perfectly together.

Ms. Eschapasse: If a close friend were to describe your personality in three words, what would they be?
Ms. Serra: Philanthropist, dynamic, generous.
