“I love New York City!” proclaims Parisian model Mathilde Frachon. “You grow up in Paris, and after 20 years you’re over it and ready for a change.” While most of us would gladly trade the city that never sleeps for cafés and musées, this recent transfer to Tribeca is bidding au revoir and saying bonjour to the Big Apple. “There is so much energy pulsing through Manhattan, plus everything is open all night.” Where to tonight? “Boom Boom Room!” She hasn’t been yet but promises a full report tomorrow (post-brunch, we presume). New York may be the city of dreams, but Mathilde sees it as home, a place “for shows and family.” So, don’t be surprised if you occasionally spot Mathilde off the runway and on the bustling city streets.
