This week’s style diary guest is our own Sibylle Eschapasse. Sibylle started this series of style interviews last summer, and we thought it would be lovely to hear what she has to say about style.

Originally from Paris, she has made New York her home. She arrived in the city in 2002, after a 12-day journey by freighter across the Atlantic, as she wanted to feel what immigrants may have felt decades ago.

Most recently, Sibylle has been working for the United Nations, which celebrated its 70th anniversary last year. She has a passion for philanthropy and writing, and is very involved in the French and Francophone communities of New York. She is the author of a children’s book, “Argy Boy!: A New York Dog Tale.”

Epoch Times: Describe your style?

Sibylle Eschapasse: I would describe my style as being Parisian, influenced with the flair of New York. Paris and New York are very much part of who I am and I try to take the best of these two cities and carry it within me. I am very natural, wear minimal make up, and many times, none whatsoever. But I do take care of my skin and myself extensively, from head to toe. As for my clothing, I like it to make me feel beautiful, feminine, modern, and classic at the same time.

Style like beauty comes first and foremost from within and your outside appearance just follows.
