Nine years ago, when I reviewed the superlative Magnolia Grandiflora Michel and Magnolia Grandilfora Sandrine, I had no idea that one day I’d be interviewing the brand’s founder in a virtual YouTube studio. But that is precisely what happened a little while ago when Saskia Havekes took some time out of a busy travelling schedule to join me from a hotel room in Melbourne. During our all-too-brief chat, she talked about how she set up her brand, what it was like working with the late Sandrine Videault, and how she came to commission the outspoken Christophe Laudamiel to create her latest piece of work, Saskia.
Enjoy!
