There is no way that Dior’s new campaign “The Secret Garden” by Raf Simons wasn’t inspired with famous Eduard Manet’s “The Bath”! In both beautiful forest scenes the naked girl (at Dior it’s Daria Strokous) is sitting in front of two men dresses in black- it’s all romantic and very pleasant! And both are beautiful! That is a great example of fashion meeting art and how it’s possible to make a painting alive!
For some time I thought about these two things- an animal versus a hunter. These two things are quite common in fashion! You know, animal have colours, wilderness, beauty, feathers, fur and so on. And hunters, so humans- not much- a weapon, hunting boots and coats. And sometimes a horse. This pair have something that links them together- fashion! And the AW13 season. For example Jean Charles De Castelbajac and Felipe Oliveira Baptista- both of them have animals on their amazing dresses. Even the atmosphere around them is wild and sensitive. Christophe Lemaire and Sacai are the hunters- coats or jackets, boots and trousers. Only a gun is needed and a hourse to make these two hunters! Animals and hunters will never be friends, the same as in fashion- never gonna match. But still, that’s interesting thing!

French designer Simon Porte Jacquemus chose to show his Fall ’13 collection at a public pool in Paris’ Bastille neighborhood. Fitting, considering the range was inspired in part by French actress Isabelle Adjani and her 1984 hit song and swim-centric music video, “Pull Marine.” Dreaming of Adjani in the water led Jacquemus to formulate a “tender” ideal of classic French sportiness with a hint of “Cocorico” patriotism.
Jacquemus gave homage to his homeland, France showing the patriotic flags on the shirts. Evident in his white, red, and blue palette and the fabulous white shirt with a Tricolore pocket. Other standouts included a cropped crewneck jacket paired with a low-slung pleated skirt, sweater-skirt combos, a T-shirt dress with trompe l’oeil red bathing suits, and lots of navy and white pin-striped cotton. This label is on my Hot list (the pool idea is stunning) and as for me it’s a bit similar to Julien David! Like if even Jacquemus was trained by David…
They are so cool! On Saint Honore in Paris they are the most popular sandals. They are in various colours like pink, black or creme and have these beautiful crystals on! Very classic and parisienne!
Costes restaurant is located in Costes Hotel on Rue du Saint Honore and is fantastic. The interior, food, legs of waitresses… Perfection. The interior is kept in rich bohemian style full of fashionable parisian people and models. When you come in, you feel like in a elegant night club- it’s dark and luxurious. Inside there is a beautiful patio with open top, and around it are rooms for restaurant that is full of ornaments.
The food is delightful and scrumptious. My favourite- thai chicken spring rolls, butterfly chicken and of course tuna atlantic style! It’s in a soya and lime dressing with chilli peppers and lemon grass. Everything in this restaurant is perfect. And delicious! Thanks all to Costes brothers of course. J’adore!
Oh and happy Easter to all! This is a Costes Flower Shop recent bouguet of flowers in egg shape!
