French-inspired living for women who believe life becomes richer when lived more slowly.

About Julia REES

I'm Julia, the founder of The Velvet Runway. UK-born, I have lived in France for over thirty years — long enough to know that the French art of living isn't a trend, it's simply a way of life.

With a background in personal styling and travel consulting, I created TVR to share the French sensibility I've lived for three decades — and everything I know and love most about style, beauty, travel, and the art of living well.

Whether you're here for style, beauty or travel inspiration, or simply to discover more about French-inspired living, welcome. I'm glad you found us.
