Design diva and style queen Anouska Hempel says her dream is to build a city incorporating 'the old style of living with modern conveniences'.
Anouska's fantasy city would be designed around the principle that anything ugly should be concealed.
'Eyesores such as pylons should be hidden and all services should be underground,' she says during a brief stop in the SAR to launch a pen which she designed for Louis Vuitton.
Anouska is a multi-talented designer whose meticulously tailored clothes and hotel interiors are known throughout Europe. She has designed the homes and yachts of some of the world's richest people.
Anouska says she gets her inspiration from unusual places. 'Whether it is from the way a shadow falls on a stick stuck in the middle of a finely raked Japanese gravel patch to my son's shoelaces, it's having the energy in believing what you do,' she says.
'Good taste is knowing within yourself whether you have it or not.'
