Amal Clooney wore a vintage pale pink suit by DIOR on the cover of Time Magazine.

Amal Clooney is an amazing person and we are very proud that she and her husband decided to purchase an estate in a french east-southern city named Brignoles, where my mum created a small private zoo in 1967. It’s closed by now but I still live in thé Var and I do wish I’ll meet the Clooney’s family one day. In the meantime, take care all of you. Nadine
