RENE MACDONALD

The founder of womenswear label Lisou dresses up to stay at home, surrounded by sumptuous fabrics and high-end scents

- 

Worn by the Princess of Wales and the actresses Lily Collins and Gwyneth Paltrow, Lisou's collection is full of wearable, classic shapes made from the finest silk – so it makes sense that the brand's founder and creative director, Rene Macdonald, favours timeless, considered luxury.

Based in London, Rene finds inspiration all around for her bold and beautiful prints.

A luxury night for me is being at home with my partner, having quiet time and a nice dinner. It sounds boring, but when you're really busy, that's what becomes a luxury.

Canapes are the ultimate in luxury dining. They allow you to have a little bit of everything, meaning no food envy. I make a goat's cheese and honey crostini one that's delicious.
