Thursday, March 22, 2012 I can’t believe Spring is here so quickly. Cool evenings and warm afternoons, my assistant Maggie says it’s her favorite time of the year because she can wear everything in her wardrobe all at once. Wednesday, March 21, 2012
The Sartorialist
It's finally temperate enough outside that you can store that gross puffy thing you've dragged around all winter and graduate to a stylish spring coat. Of course, it's still not exactly warm , so scarves, sweaters, and hats come in handy, too. Model Ruby Aldridge, captured in Paris by Altamira , pulls off the look, as did Maritsa K., shot in Istanbul for Maritsa.co (shown). Look out for lots of cropped leather jackets, stripped-down trench coats, and thick blazers in this week's style roundup. Happy Friday!

For the atmosphere and the deco, for the shopping – Isabel Marant, Suno, Rochas and Jil Sander mixed with younger brands and treasures Maryam brings back from her travels… And of course for Maryam herself, but I’ll tell you more about her soon. Her blog is pretty cool if you’re interested in her aesthetic. If you’re in New York for the holidays, what’s nice to do in the neighborhood is to go to Maryam’s, then go check Narnia, a really cool vintage store.

Tiens, un mois plus axé « peau » que « cheveux » pour une fois. Serait-ce un effet Botox? Rassurez-vous, je n’ai pas succombé aux sirènes de ce produit qui me fait plus flipper qu’autre chose, c’est juste que le mois dernier, ce type d’injection fêtait ses dix ans . Quand j’ai su ça, j’ai juste eu envie d’une chose: prendre encore plus soin de ma peau au quotidien pour éviter de recourir à ce poison!

Il y a quelques semaines, Elle Chine présentait au sein de l’école des Beaux Arts sa nouvelle édition. Désormais bimensuelle (les autres versions internationales sont mensuelles) et présentant une nouvelle maquette se voulant haut de gamme, le magazine fait la promotion des talents locaux et met en avant les collaborations entre les photographes chinois et les designers étrangers. Continue reading ‘Elle Chine…’ Discovered during the exhibition Louis Vuitton x Marc Jacobs at Musée des Arts Décoratifs, i spend minutes mesmerized by the dancers. Shame on me I didn’t hearded about Sweet Charity ( Bob Fosse , 1969) before.

Portman Ltd est une marque dont nous avions beaucoup entendu parler jusqu’à les rencontrer au Who’s Next en janvier 2012. Ce “ Belt maker ” comme ils aiment à s’appeler, conçoit des produits en France, qui sont ensuite fabriqués en Tunisie et proposés à des tarifs abordables. Depuis sa terre natale dans le Sud-Est de la France, Mali Soulé, le designer de la marque, a sa propre vision du marché qu’il trouve généralement trop cher. Pour lui, fabriquer proprement n’induit pas forcément proposer un produit au prix démesuré ! La marque est sous licence de la société S.C.I.M.E. une tannerie artisanale qui possède des ateliers dans la région du Lot et qui fournit des pièces en cuir pour de nombreuses grandes marques. La jolie collection se décline en plusieurs gammes : “Manufacture”, “Belt maker”, “Casual Cosmopolitan” et “Vintage preppy”.

New Balance Shoes Are In! One of the most surprising trends that surfaced during the mens Pitti Immagine Uomo FW2011 in Florence was the return of track shoes as daily shoes. New Balance seems to be the favoured brand all the fashionable boys turned to... all thanks to their classic retro designs given a new update. Wear them with chinos, cargo trousers and suit it up:-) Sports inspired styles meet boardroom. A surprising mix of preppy sporty cool.Male-Mode
Just like chips, works of erotic fiction and gin martinis, good fashion documentaries are hard to come by. We've seen a spate of documentaries centring on the industry, its designers, editors and it-figures emerge since the early 90s, with many garnering positive critical appraisals and awards. Although many cinephiles will deem the fashion documentary as being nothing more than a vacuous and formulaic TV fixture, several feature films documenting the rising and falling hemlines of fashion have gone some way in confounding such claims. That said, OWN's (that's TV legend Oprah Winfrey's network) documentary on fashion demi-god Tom Ford as part of its Visionaries series leaves a good deal to be desired. Of course, being an OWN production it's going to be vomit-inducingly excessive and make full use of the melodramatic techniques at work in Oprah's own TV chat show, it's still no easier to stomach despite expecting the worst. The 'poignant' piano music and overuse of Oprah-ian (?)Easy Fashion
A few days ago, "Easy Fashion Paris" had its 4 000 000 th visitor since creation of my blog. Incredible and a great satisfaction for me ! But let me tell you something has changed and not in a good way.La semaine dernière j’ai eu la chance d’y passer à nouveau quelques jours. L’occasion de prendre une poignée de photos, et d’aller piquer dans le livre de Paul Morand, le fameux Venises, de quoi les légender… « Lors de ma première évasion, je me jetais sur l’Italie comme sur un corps de femme, n’ayant pas vingt ans. » « Je me sens décharmé de toute la planète, sauf de Venise, sauf de Saint-Marc, mosquée dont le pavement déclive et boursouflé ressemble à des tapis de prière juxtaposés. »
