Deborah: Oh Garance, you’re SO shallow. Â This world is crazy in the head. Fashion, fashion, fashion. I mean, really, where is all that fashion gonna get you?
“Wait, what? Your cousin is Joseph Altuzarra? No way!!! Lily, I love his work!’
Joseph Altuzarra, I dunno if you know who he is, but he’s the darling of all New York right now. His runway shows are boiling hot, and his clothes are sexy and modern, and the tailoring, the colors, and his materials make me so giddy. So when my friend Lily told me about her cousin, this came out all by itself:
“So… any chance you want to go take pictures in his studio?”
Yesterday, Diane and I went to go visit Bess, the boutique everyone’s talking about in New York right now. Yeah… right now… I bet I’m getting the memo a little late, as usual, but hey, we got there, didn’t we? But yeah, if you told me about a boutique with studded clothes from floor to ceiling, I’d say yeah, sounds nice and all, but we’ve already seen studs everywhere, am I right?
Except for the fact that who cares?! I loved it. It’s dark in there and you can barely see anything. All of the outfits are black. There’s really bizarre music playing (but awesome). And you get the concept in the first second: stud-up the outfits almost to the point of obsession. … on some gloves, a scarf, a bustier, even on vintage pieces but then also…
Minnetonkas! Wow, aren’t they SO BEAUTIFUL? Even I, who doesn’t like studs nor Minnetonkas, was totally ready to grab the boots and run when we set up to take these pictures.
So in short, I was inspired. And it almost made me think that no one should care if you come at the beginning, the middle, or the end of a trend. What’s so great about Bess is this completely simple idea that when realized with energy, passion, rock’n roll and a decent dose of OCD, the idea took life and poof! You have no idea why, but it works. Okay, off we go, I’m gonna go buy some studs. Big hugs!

Okay, so since I haven’t had any time to write or take pictures these past few days, I was thinking that it’d be good to bring you along with me with a little film. It’s from yesterday, when I went to go visit my friend Delphine who keeps up the awesome blog for Jalouse, on their shooting for the next issue. Mmmk, come on and take a quick tour with me at the Chelsea Hotel…

I have been meaning to create an English version of my About page for ages. First because one of the things I like most in life is talking about myself, I would do it even in Aramaic if I could, and second because things are easier when we are introduced.
But my English is not as [...]
