The Photographers… #2

I have always been more passionate by the action going on backstage of any events than by the event in itself. It’s a little bit like going into the kitchen of a renowned restaurant (actually, here is something I would love to do to ;) The effervescence that is going on is like no others. …

So Long…

This summer I have seen a lot of maxi skirts… I would have gladly bought one if it wasn’t for my meter 65… Fashion can sometimes just be about recognizing what fits you and what could make you look like a dwarf…   Anyhow. Four different skirts and four even more different girls… Which one …

Because shoes are to an outfit what the cherry is on top of the cake… Ok, with the exception that you can buy a cake without the cherry but you cannot walk without shoes. Here is my little selection of the best shoes from this past Milan Fashion Week! Let me know which ones are …

Béa and Moi…

  Today, while queuing for the Armani show, I bumped into my editor at heart… (yes some have their editor at large, their fashion editor, or simply their editor-editor, I have an editor at heart…) Also known as Bea Ercolini… Because if I had to choose my ideal editor it would have probably been her.

Anaïs…

In this world, there are two kinds of people. The ones who don’t look so good when they wake up, and the ones who do. I am part of the first group… And I do firmly believe that Anaïs belongs to the latest!       I met the gorgeous model Anaïs Mali outside the …

Backstage at John Richmond..

What I loved the most about the John Richmond collection was his shoes and carefully worked leather pieces. What’s not to like about the little pair above? And the ones with the bow? No really, I spent more time with my head down, scraping the floor than looking up…
