Happy Mother's Day, Emmanuelle Alt!

Due to her cool rock chic style, I often forget that Emmanuelle Alt is a mother of two and not a roadie on tour with the latest new band. In honor of Mother's Day I have added albums of her two children, Antonin and Françoise, to the photo gallery. Emmanuelle treasures her time with her family and finds a balance with her position as editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris: “I spend all my weekends with the kids. It’s that culpability of having been working at the magazine all week. Françoise is a good tennis player, so we do that. It goes so fast. A weekend is like ten minutes for me. And we’ll go to dinner with friends. I don’t see doing things any differently now. My job has changed. My life hasn’t.” Emmanuelle's own mother, Françoise, also worked in the fashion industry as a model for Lanvin and Nina Ricci in the 1960s and 70s although I regret to say that I cannot locate an image of her. Happy Mother's Day, Emmanuelle!

Gorgeous children of course. I had no idea she was a mother as well. Now I seriously don't know how she does it and how I manage to accomplish so little on a day to day basis.

She really has an adorable family, Noelani. But don't beat yourself up, surely they have an au pair or two...
