Britta Uschkamp, eponymous lingerie designer, was funny-fantastic during Les anges de la mode party. I love her « paper-à-porter » glasses from Pappbrille created by Berlin-base designer Cantemir Gheorgiu.

Heritage — Merry Xmas to… me. Since i was introduced in watchmaking, two years ago, during Salon des Belles montres i develop a passion for these objects. Thanks Jean-Yves Mariez, a friend of mine, watches designer, who introduced me to this world. Thanks to Van Cleef & Arpels who help us discover the high end of this world, thanks to this reporter i met one day and who collects more than 500 watches (from Toy Watch to Vacheron-Constantin!) and thanks to the precious advices of Nicolas.
Santa brings me this vintage watch triple calendar moon phase. I really love the models of this era (circa 1950) and this Fortis will now nicely pair with my 1952 Omega. To be continued…
Paris Fashion week— I discover Rupert Sanderson shoes during the last Paris fashion week. I don’t know if the girl in her devilish dress walking around the new parisian boutique of Sanderson is responsible but from the moment i saw those shoes i tought that they will be perfect with the über-feminine clothes of the french london-based designer Roland Mouret. It was not a suprise then when i learn that the two of them were good friends…

Meet Joseph Altuzarra early in the morning even if you gig all night with Courtney Love is inevitable !
Paris Fashion week was like crazy this season. Parties followings fashion shows, as if confidence was back in town, no more crisis. However it was in the softly boutique-workshop of Maison Guillet (one the seven art workshops of Chanel) that everything started…
I’ve heard about Coach a long time ago, but don’t have the possibility to see the products. So i rush with my precious friends at the opening of the parisian corner on boulevard Haussman.
About Portraits à la mode
A quote, a designer face draw with one line, one stroke, to keep the essence and a signature. Ok this time is about an accessory, a hat…
À propos des Portraits à la mode (à la manière du Modalogue)
Un portrait d’un créateur, d’une personnalité de la mode avec une signature, une citation et le buste tracé d’un seul trait, comme pour en capter l’essentiel. Cette fois il s’agit d’un accessoire, un chapeau…
Worn by famous people as president Theodore Roosvelt, Harry Truman, Sean Connery or Victor Laszlo (in Casablanca), i’ve seen it during all summer worn by trendy kids, men or women: the Panama hat.
J’ai collectionné les publicités Chanel avec Inès de la Fressange (IDLF). Alors quand je la croise dans mon Monop’ (!) ou quand, comme hier avant d’entrer au show Couture de Jean-Paul Gaultier elle me « donne » son plus beau sourire, évidemment je fonds…

Comme hier, Anne de Champigneul en backstage, ce matin chez Elie Saab.
Demain ce sont les maisons de Haute-Joaillerie qui nous feront découvrir leur nouvelle collection.
