BEATRICE DUPONT- A French Fashion Knight.

BEATRICE DUPONT and French Ambassador Pierre Vimont

Let this be an inspiration to fashionable French twenty-two-year-old girls moving to the city in hopes of greater tomorrows. Beatrice Dupont did it. She took French couture and luxury goods and made them household names in America. And today, by decree of the President and on the very same Fifth Avenue that witnessed her debut, she gets a gold, gold star.

“Les réceptions de l’ambassadeur sont toujours très réussies…” The ambassador’s receptions are always a success. In the commercial, growing up, it was because he never failed to offer Ferrero Roche d’Or, a gold-wrapped little chocolate truffle you can still find in most New York delis for 25 cents a piece. But this might as well have been penned about our dashing Pierre Vimont, the erudite and humorous gentilhomme that has been representing France in the New World since 2007.
