Garance Doré

Unpublished / Chioma

It’s winter break!!! And for the break, I’ve put together a little selection of photos I’ve never publishedYou’ll get to see some pretty cool stuff I found. It’s never too late for a good photo!!!

Here’s an image of Chioma, the first time I met her. Still today I remember it well. It was at a fashion show and it was the first time I’d ever seen her. She was so sweet I ended up asking her to pose for my camera for way too long!
What really gets me though is that in the craziness of fashion week, I had completely forgotten about this photo.

And since then, we’ve gotten coffee, seen each other at all the fashion weeks (Chioma works at Vogue) and we even got breakfast together last Saturday with some mutual friends.  So when I started looking through my archives for my unpublished photos, I was shocked to find Chioma.

I remembered just how much I love Chioma and have since the very start.  (And for her fantastic mix of plaid and floral, of course!!)

Here’s another photo of Chimoa.

  11. Bon une fois de plus tu enchantes mes yeux larmoyants de lapin rougis par le froid.

    Cette femme est sublime.

    Je vais encore parler cheveux mais cette superbe crinière brune ne m’aide pas à trancher mon problème capillaire (moi-même je suis brune tendance pointes un poil marrons avec des cheveux pas vraiment coupés depuis un siècle pour cause de phobie du ciseau qui tue)!

    Ceci étant dit, l’imprimé fleuri qui sera une grande tendance de l’an prochain est sympa, même si j’ai plutôt craqué pour sa jolie chemise et… ses beaux bracelets.

    Je te souhaite de très bonnes fêtes !

  12. elle est belle !! le pantalon est superbe =)

  13. Wouah, joli brin de fille!

  14. J’adore les gens qui arrivent à mixer les imprimés très différents et lorsque le tout est harmonieux. Je pense qu’il faut vraiment un certain talent pour le faire! J’ai vu l’autre photo, elle est vraiment très jolie donc c’est vrai que ça aide!! Nice shots!

  21. J’adore!!! Son nom est tellement approprié, “chioma” en italien signifie crinière! Et elle est dotée d’une crinière sublime.

    Joyeuses Fêtes Garance!

  25. Jupe ou pantalon, elle est stylée de folie ! C’est comme ça à tous les coins de rue à New-York ?
    Parce que vous allez vraiment finir par faire passer les parisiennes pour de vieilles rombières !
    Reviens Garance…
    Bisous et Joyeux Noël !

  26. I love her look. Really it takes guts to try and to pull off such a multi-pattern look, Garance you always spot the best dressed people :)

  29. Ha! I just skimmed the comments on the earlier photos of Chioma and saw that I had posted a comment on her before. I am glad she has reappeared on your blog. Chioma’s so beautiful! Have you done an interview with her in which she might care to share her beauty tips? Also, I wonder what are her favorite accessories and what does she do at Vogue?

  30. I designed that bangle! Love Chioma, she was my editor as a style contributor to Fader Magazine. She has always been one of my main supporters of my line, TNEMNRODA. Great shot as always, Garance!

  31. Hiii,
    I just spent the last four hours on your blog, love every piece of it. You inspire me a lot (no sucking up). Just moved to Paris and a blogger too (if I dare say so). I love the spirit of your blog, if only I can let go and be free like you in blogging. Ok, no more rambling…xoxo

  32. She has a fantastic bone structure!

  39. Quelle beauté! Ce mélange d’imprimés est canon en effet, et sa coiffure, parfaite!

  40. Merci Garance
    profite un peu des vacances aussi

  41. she seems awesome!

  42. Oh yes, so beautiful and the mix of prints is so very inspiring! Love.

  43. awesome look….

  44. This is an incredible pairing as the colors are nothing short of striking. That blouse really caught my eye. For those who think fashion is all about standing out and making a statement this is certainly a winner. Then there is the photo, which is quite nice as well.

  45. C’EST CHIC! Comme toujours avec Chioma :).

  46. Thank you for showing a woman of color!!!

  47. J’adore cette tenue!

  48. I love her style, her look and how she is, pure beauty!

Garance Doré

I began my blog in June, 2006. I was an illustrator and growing frustrated – with the type of work I was getting, yes, but mostly frustrated because I wasn’t really connecting with the readers of the magazines I was working for. I wanted to do something a little more free, more spontaneous. I had ...
