NEWS IN ELLE

I was upset a few months ago when I missed this lookbook that had accidently been leaked on various fashion blog and then removed. I can eventually enjoy the perfect summer looks – and the beautiful model ! The shooting à la Terry Richardson reveals amazing light dresses, shorts and cool cardigans. A lot of camel, dark blue and pink mixed with retro details like club collars, blue jean vests, loose cuts and floral prints. Nothing to criticize here and I am very enthusiastic and wait for the men’s lookbook ! Read the rest of this entry »

Elegance, Modernity and Simplicity !! Those are the three words that crop up out of my mind when I think of this marvellous brand, Chloé !!

The fabrics (jersey, silk , linen or even leather) are as soft and light as your mind can imagine. The colors (white, off white, beige, black) are just the perfect ones for any spring or summer, not only the upcoming one but also for the next one!

Find out more, enjoy and comment !!!

Maison Martin Margiela has a gift producing items that turn some of us crazy here. Remember a few weeks ago, we showed a men pair of shoes which got a huge success and now it is time for the women to go crazy ! These brushed leather ankle boots with partially leather covered wood wedge and hammered details are WOW ! They happen to be very rare and hard to find so you have to hurry if you want yours !

Handbags, handbags, handbags… You girls can’t help thinking about them !! I have just digged out a Parisian brand called Yvonne Yvonne.

The designer, Charlotte Balme is a French young and successful woman and the model I decided to show you (above) is her unbeatable best-seller, it is called Gigi. I really fancy the fact that it looks like half a briefcase for women, half a classic it-bag to hang out during the day in Paris…

It will cost you 340 € and you can either find it on her website (click on Yvonne Yvonne) or at Le Bon Marché in Paris (7th district). Read the rest of this entry »

I don’t even know where to start with these Repettos ! First of all, there is a model for both dudes and girls. Secondly, they are flat oxford in black or white (or brown since 2010) leather from the designer’s ‘Mythique’ collection. The toe is rounded, the sole is of leather except for the heel and each pair is hand-made in France. The most famous addict is Serge Gainsbourg who supposedly used 30 pairs a year just because he loved going everywhere sockless with them and feel the fine leather. I got mine and I consider buying another pair in a different color. That shows how much I love them. Available at local shops, Rue de la Paix for the Parisian readers. Read the rest of this entry »

On the short list of the must-have it-bags, this one from Chloé stands on the top places. Fortunately for me, I don’t need any bag (because I’m a dude). But I can imagine how hard it must be for you ladies to resist to the appeal of such an item. Check the detail pics after the break !  Read the rest of this entry »
