Adeline Shayegan (1989-1990)

Joining Jill and Doron on the 31st episode of the podcast, the thirteenth of our second season, to tell us her story is designer and businesswoman Adeline Shayegan, who attended Carmel College from 1989 to '90. Adeline was born in Bath to Persian Jewish parents, and grew up in England, Iran, France and America, where she currently resides, in Beverly Hills, with her husband of 9 years, Robert, and their dog.  She owns the three-storey "Love Love Tennis" boutique by Rodeo Drive, where she designs, manufactures and sells luxury tennis apparel, as well as jewelry and bags.  She is also a former professional poker player and the author of two books on tennis. Hear Adeline talk about which former student she owes her strong legs to, 'borrowing' a powerboat from the boathouse, starting her first business at Carmel, the differences between being a pupil in Mongewell Park and Beverly Hills, and meeting her husband on the tennis court. Thank you, Adeline Shayegan, for turning us again to Carmel days!   Personal mentions in this episode: Philip Skelker (Headmaster) Miss Pennistone (Housemistress) Elinor Zeitouni Simon Kay Rossana Shokrian Meir Javedanfar Nadia Rosenberg Alan Ingram Robert Serr Sebastian Marcu Jo Cowan Jessie D'Acampo Shira Tilles Marcus   Feel free to leave a comment letting us know what you liked about this episode, and rate us on your favorite podcast platform 🙏🏼 To tell us your story, email us at [email protected] / [email protected]
