Elle Australia - 01.2019 - 02.2019

Very few Parisians can claim

to live in an actual house, with

its own front door, but Claire

Thomson-Jonville, Scottish

creative consultant, former

editor-in-chief of high-glamour

cult magazineSelf Service

and mother of two, is one

such lucky resident. She lives

in a charming three-storey

maison. “A house, in the 8th

arrondissement!” she says,

still with a trace of disbelief.

ELLE explores the life, style

and maison of creative consultant

Claire Thomson-Jonville

A devoted Nike fan,

Thomson-Jonville has a stash

of more than 3O trainers, with

her Off-White x Nike Air

Jordan styles on high rotation.

Monogrammed pouches

and fashion blankets are also

a favourite — one by Hermès

is artfully folded in the

bathroom, and a green

Céline throw (much loved by

her daughter Georgia, 4,

and son Étienne, 20 months)

is draped over the bannister.
