From navigating tiny mountainous roads "in a huge car," to losing their luggage, which contained many of the props and ingredients they had planned to shoot with, the mother- daughter team persevered—thanks in part to the natural beauty of the Spanish countryside. "We reached our destination after literally crying the whole way up, and we both stopped and looked out over this valley that was absolutely stunning," says Trudy. "We encourage each other to see the beauty in all things, all the time." The family traveled to Europe often while Chloé was growing up. The South of France, in particular, provided plenty of inspiration for the basis of what would eventually become "The Artful Way to Plant-Based Cooking." With incredibly beautiful images, fresh and simple ingredients, and easy-to-follow recipes, it makes vegan cooking accessible for anyone. "We really want to inspire people with the type of lifestyle that we actually live," says Chloé. Trudy, who worked for 35 years as a marketing director for Canadian fashion retail company Reitmans, decided she wanted to leave corporate life for a more artistic path when she turned 50. For the last 12 years, Trudy has been a full-time ceramic artist, creating beautiful, organically shaped plates and bowls in white porcelain and stoneware. Five years ago, Trudy was scouted by a modeling agency, and has now added runway model—she recently walked Rick Owens's Spring/Summer '25 Men's show in Paris—as one of her hyphenates. The fashion genes clearly run in the family—from Trudy's time in the fashion world, to Chloé's work as a fashion photographer, shooting for brands like Chanel and Dior, each has developed her own sense of style when it comes to dressing. While Trudy spends most days in the studio, making ceramics while wearing jeans and an apron, she opts for a classic and timeless style when she's out of the studio. Chloé's style is much more feminine and fashion-forward—a pivot from her earlier years on set, when she wore her photographer's uniform of jeans and a T-shirt. Still, the two go between each other's closets. "Chloé used to steal my blazers when I was working," Trudy says with a laugh. "I've always been a blazer girl!" Chloé interjects, adding that she's grateful to still have her mother's vintage Chanel and Prada pieces. "And I mean, we do have the same shoe size." Aquazzura Mayor mesh pumps Diptyque Feu de Bois large candle CHLOÉ: How do you dress when you are home? Typically I'm wearing a flowy dress when I'm home; I love the latest from Zimmermann. How would you describe your personal style? My style evolves throughout the seasons. I'd describe it as French classic—simple and chic, yet put-together. What is your go-to outfit for work? I used to have a uniform for photo shoots: a white T-shirt, jeans, and Converse. Since the pandemic, though, I've completely transformed my style. Now, vibrant and colorful dresses are my go-to. What are your go-to shoes for day and night? I adore having a bit of heel at all times, but comfort is always my top priority. I love wearing shoes that transition seamlessly from day to night, like a strappy kitten heel. Whether it's cooking, hosting, or seeking out inspiration, Trudy and Chloé always manage to make it look effortless. Capture their style secrets below.
