Il n'y a plus vraiment d'occasion à présent de "s'habiller " de se mettre sur son 31 .
Je rêve de pouvoir le soir me préparer, me parer , me vêtir avec soins pour pouvoir finalement rejoindre la "piste de bal", le dancefloor quoi.


J'ai la nostalgie de ces temps que je n'ai malheureusement pas connue ou l'on prenait  au 
sérieux -sans l'être-  ce plaisir, ce jeu du paraitre. Le temps des bals dont  le "Bal du siecle" de Charles de Beistegui où,  ces fastes etaient l'occasion de surpasser en imagination les plus folles exentricités de la marquise Casati.  
On pourrait tout aussi bien citer Le Bal Oriental, Le Bal Noir et Blanc, Le Bal proust ou le Bal du Palais d'Hiver.
On ne peut pas compter la fashion week qui aujourd'hui  même si elle n'est que surenchère de tenues
extravagantes poussées a l'extrême car elle n'est que  trop prise au  serieux par des gens trop sérieux . 
Qui n'a pas rêver lors de la lecture Du Grand Meaulnes, de danser à cette fameuse Fête Etrange?
J'aurais rêvé de connaitre la periode folle du Palace ou sortir etait l'occasion parfaite de choisir les plus exentriques,  les plus folles tenues.
Je prône ce jeu a paraitre et  à s'inventer le soir venu.

Marni for HM


I was never tempted to buy any items from any collaboration collection before between HM and a designer but i think i am definitely changing my mind for this one !






I love the prints , the skirts and must of all, i love the 60's vibe than the all collection is about .
I love as well the S.Coppola short movie who is a great combo between the atmosphere of one of her movie and the ethnic, happy aestheticism proper at Marni.








Rendez vous  on March 8 !

This summer i want to be an Aquilano.Rimondi mermaid

I want to wear one of this amazing silhouette and go dance all night !



















The Italian duo behind this brand is Tommaso Aquilano & Roberto Rimondi.
In May 2008 the duo joined Gianfranco Ferre as creative directors for the women's line.
Thanks to these experiences (They've also been creative directors at Mallo the Italian premium cashmere brand), the duo decided to found their own brand Aquilano.Rimondo that represents their ultimate achievement in luxury and product.
Both  designers adore the idea of returning to the tradition of creating garments using the secrets of sartorialism combined with a different minimalistic evolution of the conceptual contemporaneity.
