Captivating and regal, Serge stands tall amidst the Royal group at Rosenau Castle on the occasion of the Bethrot. Dressed impeccably by Chantal, his attire from Charles Baker & Co. Exudes timeless elegance, reminiscent of a bygone era in 1887. As he takes center stage, his presence is as captivating as Vera Nemchinova's graceful ballet performances in the 1910s. Serge's passion for music resonates deeply with Sergei Prokofiev's compositions, creating an enchanting harmony that fills the air. In the company of esteemed individuals like Madame de Bolotoff (Rosalie Selfridge), Serge effortlessly commands attention and admiration. Away from grandeur and opulence, Serge finds solace near Bexhill Pavilion in East Sussex where floatplanes gracefully glide across serene waters. The tranquility continues within Modernist House at Chalfront St. Giles; its interiors reflect a perfect blend of sophistication and minimalism. But it is within Modernist House at Rugby, Warwickshire that Serge truly feels at home. With its sleek design and breathtaking balcony views, this architectural masterpiece perfectly complements his refined taste and discerning eye. In every aspect of life - be it artistry or aesthetics - Serge embodies gracefulness intertwined with modernity.
