D. Porthault Owner Receives Legion of Honor Award
The owner of luxury linens brand D. Porthault, Joan Carl of Washington, D.C. recently received an important honor. She became a Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur, one of the highest levels of recognition granted by the government of France. Carl was designated to receive this honor by a decree signed by French President Nicolas Sarkozy because of her service and commitment to France and her work in reviving the great French home textiles brand D. Porthault. Under her leadership the brand has opened a new flagship store in Paris as well as a new boutique on Park Avenue in New York City. Pierre Vimont, France's ambassador to the United States, honored Carl for her "very special contribution to the advancement of the relationship between France and the United States." Other American women who have been granted this honor include former U.S. Ambassador Pamela Harriman, Julia Child, Barbara Streisand, and the dancer Josephine Baker. Recipients receive a red rosette worn on their lapel.
