Let's get it started!

After a week-end spent to Puerto Vallarta, I feel more than ready to get this collection started! During this trip I managed to quit the very touristic side of the city, to find an interesting painting gallery. I had the chance to meet the artist, José Marca, whose painting are characterized by a mélange of portrait and surrealism. In Puerto Vallarta, his representation of Frida are very famous.

From this trip I came back with a "pannel of couleurs", which was a very difficult choice to make, because I want this collection to be cohesive, and because my favorite color is... black! This collection will mostly be prepared in Paris, in December, so I had to forget all the folklore around me. For a first collection, my environment will be primordial.

                                      

I want every piece to be tainted with lunatism, a very small note of romance (very very small!) and the sensation I feel after a "ballade au bord de la Seine". All this gives me a "folle envie" to take a look at the 50's!

My vision of the 50's looks in three words, three pictures:

    Flawless

    Audrey Hepburn

    Classic

Atoine et Lili: Le savoir faire parisien.

      Here is a video of one of my favorite boutique in Paris: Antoine et Lili. This boutique has a vintage inspired style, even though it is not. Actually, I still have some very cute dresses my mom bought me there when I was little! At the time there was only a very few boutiques. One is two blocks away from where I live in Montmartre, and I'm glad to see how they keep on growing!

If you ever go to Paris you have to visit this boutique! I would say that their specialties are furniture, accessorizes, and children's clothing. I'm not a big fan of their women's clothing, just because it's not my syle. Note that the Montmartre boutique is the biggest, and the only one to sale furniture I think.

Voila, voila.

The video is in french, but it's still a pleasure for the eyes:

Adorable.

Sass and Bide: Spring 2010 made in Australia

      I wanted to comment on Alexander Mcqueen latest collection, and get inspiration from it (only in terms of understanding how this genuis man always manage to have this "file conducteur" in every of his collection), but I fell in love with Sass and Bide Spring 2010 collection!

      This collection is a bit more classy than the other. Personally I think that I prefer Sass & Bide when they give "libre court" to their imagination, although the details in this collection are incredible.

The "Rainbows for Kate" collection was just unique: simple but tragique at the same time. Here it is! That's exactly how I want my collection to be described!
