Chloe Attitude on Saint Honore
There is a brand new Chloe boutique in th middle of Rue du Saint Honore next to Mandarin Oriental Hotel that’s just genius! This boutique was possibly opened because of the 60th Anniversary of this Parisian label that was taken under the wings of Karl Lagerfeld to Phoebe Philo. The shop has two beautiful floors decorated in beige and white with classical furnitures, giving a light effect. And, the boutique is totall like Chloe clothes! Delicate and classical!
What came into my eye was the flash from the past dresses, shirts and trousers with jeweled arrows on sides that were designed in past by Lagerfeld and the metallic coloured shoes on the first floor. But much more things was there- for example two classical Chloe bags revisted- one exclusively for the Saint Honore edition and one… For the Mandarin Oriental Hotel!
Meeting Vika Gazinskaya
Guess who I met today on Saint Honore? Vika Gazinskaya who was coming back from shopping in Colette!!! Vika is a fresh, seriously talented russian designer that is based in Paris. I was writing about her recent collections some time ago and she is the one who designed these fantastic fox muppet scarves! She is also a street style star, and always looks awesome in her crazy looks! As she said, her clothes will be soon on Net-A-Porter.com and Avenue32.com and are ALREADY sold out from Colette! I was so excited and now really happy that I met her! My dream came true! 😃🇫🇷😃
And here are her my favourite designs from Vika’s 2013 SS and 2013 AW!
Favourite Addresses in Paris
COLETTE on Rue du Saint Honore
Colette is a highlight for every fashionista in Paris. Labels like Marc Jacobs, Rodarte, Kenzo, Celine and Christopher Kane got their place here together with dozens of great magazines, music and things you need to love! I’m totally a fan of this fantastic place. First you can find here great people, then find great pieces of clothes (I found two great things), Coca-Cola by Marc Jacobs (got it!) or CR Fashion Book and I-D (of course I do have it!).
CELINE on Avenue Montaigne next to l’Avenue restaurant
A real fur land for this season! These shoes are fantastic even if they are ugly! In various colours, as sandal or heels, they do have their horrible price! As I talked with the Celine person, the most popular are the black fur sandals. The heels are just scarrying because of the price! I truly fell in love with the dresses with net on them- so sexy and modern!
DIOR on Avenue Montaigne
What can I say. The clothes are just a clean elegance and beauty- but the shop? Ok. The shop is also beautiful, but it’s not Raf Simons but still Galliano. The clothes and atmosphere are biting each other. Thanks god they changed the service because it was horrible last time I was in Paris! The dresses are breath taking. So delicate and fragile! But the shoes were unfortunately a disapoinment. Looked kitch and cheap. This rhymes eve
BALENCIAGA on Rue Victor Hugo and Saint Honore
That was a big pleasure to see unfortunately the last time designs by Nicolas Ghesquiere. His designs are so lite and flowless! The shoes with cubic heel are just the hottest thing this season and I loved the bags! Small and practical, looked like boxes! Fromclothes there was only the resort collection… So no ruffled dresses and skirts inspired with ballet Bolero.
LOUIS VUITTON on Avenue Montaigne
The square power! The welcome sign that it’s all LV, were the squares on windows! Inside the first thing I see are the beautiful dresses full of yellow squares. The shoes with a pointy nose are very 60’s and at the same time modern. They were in two types- with md heel and a high heel- but I liked more the mid one.
