Favourite Addresses in Paris

March 25, 2013July 1, 2017 | Design & Culture by Ed

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.

Julien David “Dinosaur”

February 26, 2013December 29, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Julien David is now one of the newest hotttest designers! The SS13 collection, showed that Julien has his own style, and wants to show off his inspirations of childish life. Lots of dinisaurs, toys, ink prints on shirts and tops- as he called the collection- “spoiled kids”! And this transparent black top with red sign DINOSAUR is just so great! Available still on Colette!

Carven for Petit Bateau

November 7, 2012June 25, 2017 | Design & Culture by Ed

“[The collaboration is] the story of an encounter between two French fashion houses that share the same values of modernity and honesty” said a spokesperson for the Petit Bateau. “The collection encapsulates the accessibility of both brands.”
With famous fans including Victoria Beckham, Alexa Chung and Emma Stone, Carven has quickly become one of the fashion pack’s go-to labels – loved for its Peter Pan collars, flirty off-kilter dresses, playful prints and chic daywear separates.
The new collaboration blends “the comfort” of Petit Bateau with the “inventive style” of Carven to reinvent classics – think polo shirts, bodies, dresses and cardigans in bold colours and high-quality materials, complete with detachable collars.
Avaible at Colette.
