The charm of a life well told.
Moonchatting with Mathilde Favier: A Life Like a Novel.
Mathilde Favier is the soul of public relations and celebrity affairs for Dior Couture, as well as the author of Living Beautifully in Paris, published by Flammarion. Her book opens the doors to her sophisticated world of Parisian elegance, impeccable receptions, and innate savoir-faire. A friend of influential figures in the worlds of culture, politics, and industry, she perfectly embodies effortless Parisian chic. If elegance were a language, Mathilde Favier would be its most refined interpreter. A Parisian to the core, with a natural talent for savoir-faire and the art of conversation, she is the head of public relations for Dior Couture. Her world is made of stunning gowns, secret addresses, and encounters straight out of a Truman Capote novel. But beneath the glittering surface lies a woman who loves the stories, traditions, and details that make life more beautiful. When she's in Sardinia, Mathilde is captivated by its authentic soul, among artisans weaving straw hats and custodians of ancient natural healing practices. At Due Lune, she gave us a glimpse into her world of style, culture, and that touch of magic that makes her unique.
We met her for a chat about memories, music, and little travel treasures.
If you could invite anyone to dinner at Due Lune, who would it be?
"Lee Radziwill. I'm sure he would have loved this place."
A special memory linked to Due Lune? "A visit to a Sardinian woman with the gift of 'medicine,' guardian of ancient knowledge passed down from generation to generation. An unforgettable experience."
And what about Sardinia in general?
"The ceramics handmade by the village women. They are a special gift from Carolina that I particularly love."
If you had to choose one song to represent summer at Due Lune, what would it be?
"Roman Holiday. It has that nostalgic and sophisticated allure that fits perfectly with the island's atmosphere."
A must-read book under the Sardinian sun?
"The Art of Joy" by Goliarda Sapienza. A powerful novel that deserves to be read at least once in a lifetime.
An item that is never missing from your suitcase?
"A straw hat handwoven by Sardinian village women. It's a unique piece, embodying all the beauty of local craftsmanship."
Mathilde has the gift of seeing beauty everywhere: in a tailoring detail, in an old sun-faded carpet, in a kind gesture. And perhaps this is the secret of her allure: she doesn't just observe, but captures the essence of things. Between anecdotes and advice, Mathilde leaves us with the desire to rediscover Sardinia through her eyes, slowly and with admiration for the details that make every trip unforgettable.
