She has been pursuing the taste of life, but most of her life has been shrouded in the shadow of the "eternal First Lady" and her sister Jacqueline Kennedy; she once enjoyed all the wealth and glory, It has gone through twists and turns, but now it is back to peace. Lee Radziwill described her life like this: "My life is like a landscape painting, colorful, full of excitement, and full of adventure." She is the "Water Monster" written by the American writer Truman Capote. Radziwill, the fashion queen of the past half century, is now 70 years old, but her charm still remains. A pair of bright and charming big eyes make people irresistible to her charm. Capote described Radziwill's eyes this way: "The golden-brown eyes were widely separated and sparkling, like a glass of brandy on the table reflecting the light of the fire." The wide and wide separation of the watery eyes was the most important aspect of her appearance. The outstanding features make her beautiful face full of aura, and her elegant demeanor is lively. Over the past few decades, it is under the guidance of Radziwill that Americans have formed a dynamic yet noble temperament. . To this day, people are still fascinated by her.

People marveled at Radziwill's slender figure. She once joked that smoking and drinking champagne kept her in great shape. However, Radziwill's fragile appearance is as strong as steel. Capote wrote in 1976: "I can't think of any other woman who was more feminine than Radziwill, including Audrey Hepburn and the porn star Gloria Guinness. But Radziwill was anything but. Not weak."

"I am grateful to be born in this era," Radziwill said, "I think my life is extraordinary enough. The most interesting place to live. In the 1960s, London was undergoing a rapid renaissance in various fields, and I witnessed everything there. When President Kennedy was in charge of the White House, I lived in New York. Living in seclusion in Paris, living a peaceful and happy life, "I am very happy. I enjoy everything here, do everything I can do, and see everything I can see." But why did you choose Paris? "Because I have Parisian blood!" The Bouvier family is the descendant of French landowners. "Bernard Berenson believes that there are only two types of things in the world, one type makes people lose confidence in life, and the other type makes people full of love for life. No matter from which angle you look at it, Paris undoubtedly belongs to the latter, and as the saying goes It is often said that 'the sweetness of life is in Paris'. The changes of the times will not change Paris' status, it will always be a charming place," Radziwill said.

In 1951, 18-year-old Radziwill came to Paris for the first time, from where she was going to Italy to meet Berenson. Until then, she had been corresponding with Berenson. On this journey, her sister Jacqueline accompanied her. Radziwill recalled: "It was my first time going to Europe, and we visited a lot of places. It was this trip that changed my life or our lives. I will never forget it." During the trip, the sisters I also wrote a diary with pictures and texts to express my gratitude to my mother for her arrangements. The diary was published a few years later under the title "A Special Summer". Radziwill said, "The trip to Paris was full of joy and laughter. This diary is a reflection of our mood." In the same year, "Miss Bouvier" was published for the first time. fashion magazine. Since then, fashion magazines have been following Radziwill for half a century, witnessing her changing personal style and life roles, from a charming girl emerging in the social world to Princess Radziwill, actress and decorator. From being a goddess in the fashion industry, to now living in seclusion in Paris to cultivate herself. In 1950, Caroline Lee Bouvier (Radziwell's name in the Bouvier family) was named "the most dazzling new star in New York society" by "LIFE" magazine. Four years later, she became Mrs. Canfield, her husband, Michael Canfield, who came from a publishing family. At a charity ball co-organized by a French hospital and some French-American cooperation projects, Radziwill caught everyone's attention in a sultry transparent off-white dress. Radziwill said she "loved that dress, it was as beautiful as a cloud." Later, she became even more prominent in New York society. In 1955, the sisters were invited to appear in fashion magazines again.

It was for this reason that Radziwill eventually ended her pursuit of Givenchy. At that time, "Ladies' Home Journal" reported that Radziwill had selected several sets of clothes designed by Givenchy, but was opposed by Givenchy. Faced with Givenchy's reaction, Radziwill chose to part ways. But she is still at the forefront of the trend, ahead of her sister Jacqueline. She quickly turned her attention to some young designers. These designers led the fashion trend throughout the 1960s, and Radziwill found the ubiquitous excitement in life from their designs. She began to choose other French brands, such as Yves Saint Laurent, Ungaro and Huo Xiyuan. In 1967, Radziwill returned to the screen at the suggestion of Truman Capote and participated in the film "Philadelphia Story". Her costumes in the film were provided by Saint Laurent. “My favorite thing is the white crepe gown with draped hands, it’s so simple,” Radziwill said. At the same time, Radziwill will also go to women's clothing stores such as Valentino and Mila Schon in Rome and Milan to purchase clothes. In the 1970s, Radziwill met the American fashion designer Halston, and the two became close friends. "I really miss Halston, not only his person, but also his clothes. Whenever you walk into his store, you will find something." Radziwill said. For Radziwill, who has been wandering around women's clothing stores in Paris, Halston's designs are undoubtedly a breath of fresh air. "Halston's clothes are very soft and very feminine, but not fancy at all. Everyone knows this."

Radziwill loved belted gowns throughout his life. Her love for this kind of clothing may have originated from a trip to Morocco with the "First Lady of the United States" in 1962. Unfortunately, King Hasain banned photography at the time, so no records were left of that visit. Radziwill still remembers his trip to Morocco: "You can't believe it. Everything in front of you is like a painting by Delacroix and Géricault. The Baili Palace is full of romantic atmosphere. I feel that it seems to be completely based on the painting." One of the works by two masters. There was a strong smell of cedar. And there were these little sheepskin rugs, as high as the knees, and I had never seen anything like that. "I will never see it again." What she saw and heard in Morocco gave Radziwill great inspiration, and she later invited theater designer and interior decorator Renzo Gotino to design a full-scale theater for her. A room with a moorish smell. “That room was absolutely wonderful. The floors in old London houses always gave people a gloomy feeling, but our design changed everything, it was eye-catching and uplifting. Gotino often asked To create a background for a great work of art, I thought he had better learn to create that effect first." Later, Radziwill also listened to Gotino's advice when designing the family's house in Oxfordshire. The house is full of flowers and plants inside and outside. Radziwill also cobbled together Sicilian chintz pocket squares on the walls of his restaurant, and invited painter Lillard Nobili to create a pastoral trompe l'oeil painting with a strong three-dimensional feel. "I wanted the whole house to look hazy and dim, a bit Turgenev-esque, and the whole house was filled with flowers so that even if it was dark outside, others wouldn't notice it," Radziwill said. Ten years later, Radziwill bought a duplex apartment on Fifth Avenue in Paris. She reproduced the previous design in her elegant bedroom, with steel printed floors, flower and plant oil paintings, orange-brown ripple pattern walls, and tiger silk Velvet, surrounded by flowers, and LV-branded furniture is placed in the living room downstairs. After divorcing Stanislas in 1974, Radziwill's luxurious life gradually curbed. Later, she married Hollywood director Herbert Ross, and the two maintained a marriage for 10 years.

Radziwill's apartment in Paris after Jacqueline's death is located on a tree-lined avenue in the 16th arrondissement. It is a chicly decorated apartment near the charming Ranelagh Garden. Radziwill often wanders along the tree-lined paths filled with chestnut trees with her dog Zoom, listening to the screams of children on the swings.

“The first time I came here I had a clear idea in mind,” Radziwill said. “I needed some peace and quiet here, so I asked Christian Lieager to help me with the design. I didn’t know what to do. I just feel that I need to be quiet, and I no longer want to pursue anything. I feel very peaceful now." Radziwill opened up the two large studios in the house and merged them. into a large study room. Next door is her modest bedroom. “I know it looks like a convent,” Radziwill said jokingly. A low sofa was placed on the brown rug, and light green translucent curtains fluttered in front of the window. Radziwill's design of the house this time was simple to the extreme, but it was an elegant simplicity. On either side of the fireplace were two of Jensen's steel cabinets, one of which held a Tiepolo painting of a man in an elaborate turban that Radziwill said was her treasure. On top of another cabinet is the head of a Roman boy from the 5th century AD. "It will always be with me because it always reminds me of Anthony." Radziwill's son Anthony was a television producer and won the AIDS award during his lifetime. He died of cancer in 1999 at the age of 40.

Speaking of life in Paris, Radziwill had this emotion: "It was not easy at the beginning because you have to position yourself. Traveling to a city and living in a city It’s different.” After 2000 she lived a free and quiet life in Paris, going to museums, going to ballets (Raziwill was on the board of directors of the American Friendship Society of Paris Opera and Ballet), doing whatever she wanted.

Obviously, Radziwill's life picture has become softer. It is a Boucher's garden painting, a simple and soft landscape slowly unfolding in a Japanese painting.
