Diane... I pulled out my copy of Dominick Dunne's book after I read this post, and read it cover to cover in one evening. Mrs. Hale is a lovely woman who has gotten even more beautiful over the years.

Diane, you are too kind! I realize that the Denis instead of Denise, as in Hale, was a dyslexic kind of mix up having been just before posting, studying a Paris map and coming across the many Saint Denis listings, not even an area I am vaguely interested in, so goes the mysteries of the brain! Am surprised I did not dyslexically confuse Hale with Les Halles!
Looking forward to many more of your intriguing and informative posts.

A wonderful post about a fascinating life. My first visit with you has been a delightful way to begin my day. I look forward to many more!
Thank you.

HI GAJ-

OH, A TYPO...or a tpyoo...
It means good luck!

Never fear, I knew what you meant.

I write typos all the time...typing too fast, typing late at night, typing while tired, it goes with the territory, I assure you. It adds to the texture of writing and keeps us all on our toes. Good luck is what it is.

Denis Hale, always heads above the rest, always a spot-on individualist, refined yet daring, dazzling yet enigmatic, a true original at a point in time when those attributes are mostly just memories much less acknowleged, understood or embraced. Kudos Ms. Hale and to you Diane for this superb profile.

So happy to receive insightful comments from perceptive readers from around the world.
Gwen-Yes, interesting that this month's new Vanity Fair has a one-page feature on the lovely DH.
Readers: Please read and send me your report.

Yes, "If you are curious, you are married to the world' is a superb concept...'married to the world' being a deliciously sexy way to be engaged with the world and its people and places. Love it.

In-depth and riveting. I was drawn in by someone who encompasses two special qualities, natural grace and a respect for privacy.

"If you’re curious, you’re married to the world."

I adore that.

As for David, women do admire other women unashamedly, WHEN they deserve it. Aside from that, we all read "Daisy Pulls It Off" once a year to keep abreast of things.

Diane
I love to read about "Local Treasures" like Denise. BTW, BBC is doing a film about Enid Blyton due out at the end of this year...she has always been a FAVE of my daughter, Carrie.

Hello, David and welcome to THE STYLE SALONISTE!

Thank you for your deliciously inventive bons mots.
The comment is very insightful.
I was, in fact, fortunate to receive a fine English education at a private (public in English terms) girl's high school. Speaking Latin at 13. I was a prefect (I still have the badge) but never a head girl. And I did read and admire Enid Blyton, a seriously under-rated writer.
Please stay in touch. I appreciate your wonderful way with words.

HELLO, BRILLANTE-

HAPPY FOURTH!

Denise is a fascinating person to write about. She always surprises.
She has friends in all places, loves the thrill of travel--and has such insight into fashion, design, couture, designers, and beautiful things.
So pleased you enjoyed this post. Most of the personal images have never been published.

Great interview to a special person who lives above the crowd. She does not need to follow fashion, she IS fashion.
