These mind blowing sunglasses, handmade in entirely Japan and taking inspiration from architecture and machinery of the mid-20th century, these come from Thom Browne in collaboration with California-based eyewear manufacturer, Dita. When I saw them, here in Biarritz, I was like wow! They look really amazing! And this vintage appeal… They are both in white and black- unisex.
Biarritz, on the coastline of the Biscay Bay, maybe isn’t too famous, but it has it’s own specific “style” that is very different from Paris and another French cities. Here, there are two really amazing boutiques that just can’t be passed unseen! It’s IN THE MIDDLE and LES ENFANTS TERRIBLES! Both got rare and super trendy labels like Stussy, and have a selection of most cool pieces!
In IN THE MIDDLE I bought this amazing floral logo Stussy t-shirt from -20% Sale (that happens only in France…) and I am very happy because it was last one in M! Stussy is a fresh label from New York, very vintage styled, thats usually worn with the Pyrex Vision thing. The shop- my personal Must Visit in Biarritz. Great shoes, American and Parisian labels, caps and sunglasses. All in pretty low prices but super chic! And I nearly bought that Levi’s denim jacket with the cat on back… Maybe? Really, I recomend this place to every fashionista!
LES ENFANTS TERRIBLES is a off duty shop with unknown labels of unknown designer with very clear and strong meanings! The t-shirts here are full of colours and great prints, plus you can try out all of these thousands rings, necklace, earrings, broches, bags, everything and other. Indeed, the jewelery is very kitsch and a bit enfantile… This boutique is full of youth spirit and fun!

While all the stars like Anne Hathaway or Laetisia Casta wear their Dior’s and Valentino’s Couture gowns, Tilda Swinton never go on the easier path. I mean, she looks easier (not so tired like Uma Thurman in this silver Versace dress), but much more stylish. Tilda breaks all stereotypes of a costume at a big Gala. We will not see her in Gucci nor Chanel, but in… Haider Ackerman! Just like this time! Swinton, that look a bit like David Bowie, reminds me of stylish rock and roll in this sequined golden jumsuit by Paris based designer. She is my definite number one this year at Cannes Festival!
