This dress

Gaelle — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 08:00:15 +0000

got me obsessed for half a year ever since Karlie Kloss walked Lanvin SS 2011 RTW show.

I eventually saw it at Harrod's, London 2 weeks ago.... It's not really what I expected.

Vera Wang relaunches her lavender label

Gaelle — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 09:40:29 +0000

Vera Wang refers to her daughters as her test-marketers as she is relaunching her lavender label. The girls are 18 and 21 years old and are said to make sure that Wang knows what works and what doesn’t at least for her. You bet that the lavender collection to be displayed exclusively at Neiman Marcus and www.neimanmarcus.com takes a lot out of Wang’s daughter fashion tastes?

Heidi Klum’s Grammy choice

Gaelle — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 21:22:43 +0000

What works well here and remain a question tag for me is that she's blond with a gold gown and she still looks gorgeous. It doesn't look dull at all as it usually does on so blond a woman

Charlotte Gainsbourg covers Madame Figaro 30-year special issue

Gaelle — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 16:30:39 +0000

I guess Charlotte Gainsbourg has spent her entire life getting watched by French mass. Although I'm a bit younger than she's, I have memories of her looking like even more uncomfortable in her skin than I did felt in mine during our teenage years. 10 years ago, I guess around the time she first became a mom to son Ben, she changed from mop to butterfly.

Lee Jean Youn’s strange wedding ceremony

Gaelle — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 15:30:26 +0000

Lee Jean Youn introduced his Fall Winter 2010 Haute Couture collection last week one block to Georges Pompidou Center in central Paris. It's the second time he graces the French capital with his design, his first passage having been his SS2010 collection earlier this year Jean Youn delivered on a flowery stage a subtle & romantic design full of bows and flowers, veils and trails in organza silk, cashmere fabrics. The key color was orange beside white and black. The whole collection was rather short lengthened, sexy, fitting and body flattering.

Doria Salambo, made in Paris

Gaelle — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 15:30:46 +0000

I just bought this hat at Doria Salambo at Bastille in Paris.

€19/$23. I love it. It's pretty high, and this bell shape is funny. I'm rather into plain colors than pattern fabrics. I confess that I'm mostly classic. I accessorize a lot with bold stuffs like this hat.

Venus Williams’ dress at the French Open Rolland Garros

Gaelle — Mon, 31 May 2010 15:30:01 +0000

The place to be those days in Paris is the French Open Roland Garros. I'm not in. I don't like tennis that much to suffer the back row while my TV allows me to sit comfortably at front row. The fashion event this year was Venus Williams and her lace dress (wait for it) ,

Madeleine Vionnet, a fashion purist

Gaelle — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:40:42 +0000

"What I did is not fashion. It was designed to last forever" said the woman known as the architect of dressmakers. I attended Madeleine Vionnet, puriste de la mode, exhibit last week at The Musée des Arts Décoratifs (107 rue de Rivoli, Paris, Mo Palais Royal). Thrice I was in Paris in the last months, twice I couldn't attend the exhibit. You imagine how I was thrilled to eventually do it last week. The exhibit lasts until end of January 2010 and showcases more than 130 (fairy) dresses that Vionnet fabricated. I was stunned to figure out how modern the dresses are. They date back to the beginning of the century and they look like contemporary dresses. If you pay a visit, do not hesitate to take the guided tour to understand the era's context and get full explanation about Madeleine Vionnet's talent.

Ungaro Spring 2010 RTW collection

Gaelle — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 15:16:13 +0000

Well before its show, I heard much fuss about Ungaro Spring 2010 Collection. The buzz keeps going on after it. Well the reviews are far from utterly positive. Though, Lindsay Lohan appointment as fashion advisor has drawn serious attention, talk and lines to Ungaro house during the fashion month. Second (wait for the 1st/) I am not disappointed. I am Ready To Wear this collection.

My ultimate wish list

Going through work day to night out with elegance.

Gwyneth Paltrow is she a fashion avant-gardiste?

Gaelle — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:26:33 +0000

Do you remember this fabulous dress Angelina Jolie donned at the Cannes Film Festival 2009? Fashion police was in awe. How stunningly unique was she with this blush-colored dress and this bold red lipstick!

But ... seriously! Doesn't she remind you someone else?
