For the 6th issue of Sky Blue, La Douce France, we had the rare opportunity to visit and film the Villa Windsor, located in the western Parisian park of Bois de Boulogne. Known for being the residence of Wallis Simpson and the self-abdicated King Edward VIII, the home was purchased by Mohamed Al-Fayed in the 1990s with the intention of housing his son Dodi and Princess Diana. Sadly, the couple perished in a car accident near the Pont de l’Alma in Paris on the same day they visited the estate. In 1998, all the belongings and furnishings of the house were sold at auction. Since then, the house has remained unoccupied. The Fondation Mansard, which recently acquired the home from the now-deceased Al-Fayed, plans to open it as a museum. taken in Villa Windsor by @jamesvthomas

Sky Blue, Issue N°VIII — The Disciplined Gentleman is now officially on sale at KDPRESSE.com, and in kiosks / train stations, and airports (perfect reading for the flight to your holiday destination), unveiling a bold new format and a refined point of view. Priced at 12 €, this edition is a trip into self-mastery — an exploration of how discipline shapes a man’s character, his rituals, and ultimately, his style.
Inside, discover fashion editorials by Diane Betties, Aaron Kirk, and Marcello Junior Dino, each capturing a different facet of contemporary elegance, and a special feature on silver by Thomas Tissandier. We also sit down for in-depth conversations with Colin Field by Arthur Samier, Simon Holloway, and Kiichiro Asakawa, who share their philosophies on craft, culture, and the pursuit of excellence.
A new chapter for Sky Blue. A new way of seeing the modern gentleman.
