When it comes to effortlessly cool French girls, the entire BtR office can’t help but swoon. They have that certain je ne sais quoi that we’re pretty sure everyone (at least us) attempts to achieve on a daily basis.
Melanie Laurent, Lou Doillon, Isabel Marant, Audrey Tatou … the list is endless. But it’s contemporary muse Caroline de Maigret who we can’t get enough of at the moment.
Model, muse, music producer, and mother, de Maigret is one of the rare “real” women with a formidable presence in the industry. While she had early success as a model, it’s her current career and intense presence that captivates us most.
De Maigret brings a sense of womanly reality to every campaign and collaboration. She loves Dostoyevsky, Kafka and a great biographies. And her musical instincts are something to envy.

She’s the kind of woman who runs around in faded jeans, Adidas kicks, and a worn-in denim jacket with her hair perfectly disheveled and barely-there makeup. There’s a sense of irregularity and imperfection to her look that hits all the right notes.
Clearly Madewell agrees, since her most recent collaboration with the brand exudes as much French girl coolness as one can fathom. Here are just a few reasons why we’re obsessed with Caroline de Maigret:
