On Friday, I will be at the Apple Store in Paris to discuss my work and would be delighted to see you there !

So, it’s Friday, March 2 at 13:00 at the Opéra Apple Store, 12 Rue Halévy, Paris 75009, 01 44 83 42 00

Yeyyy ! I found my perfect pair of pumps !!! They are perfectly pointy, show the exact amount of toe cleavage and I love the very straight heel. I feel very Emmanuelle Alt just looking at them.

Ok so the only thing is… they’re pretty high. Like probably between a 10 and 12 cm heel. I went to Prada (that’s where they are from) and they also have an 8cm heel version. It’s very pretty as well but maybe less sexy and glam than the higher heel.

So what do you think ?

Should I go for the comfy heels or do you think that when you’re going for a pointy pump, you go all the way and choose a super high heel ?

Okay, you’ve got to help me with this.

So yesterday morning, I get up, jump on my computer to see the Oscar dresses and here’s what I feel: Nothing.

I would have loved to do a little funny piece à la Fug Girls on the looks that totally worked and those which fell short, but not only am I not the Fashion Police, but really, I just don’t understand the whole long dress thing.

I guess it just seems like most of the time, the Oscars are the antithesis of cool.

I loved this show – and also think Fendi just created the most beautiful iPad case in the world !

There’s something I like even more than taking streetstyle pictures, and that’s getting photos of things that speak directly to me. Like, all the stuff I want to wear myself, you know?

The first time I brought out my camera was this for this reason. I was looking for my own style and magazines were giving me no help, so I started looking elsewhere.

Soon after I started attending the fashion weeks, I developed a fascination for the fantastic and perfect outfits,  on someone like Carine Roitfeld, or the fantastic and totally extravagant ones like Anna Dello Russo. It’s all fashion after all. There is no better opportunity to show off your love of clothes and really experiment.

When fashion editors and stylists put together outfits that just scream “fashioooooon!!!” ” Oh looooook it’s Céliiiiiiiiine’s last collection!” or “I have 867 different prints on my back!” : I just love it when it’s well done. At the same time, I like the looks like Emmanuelle Alt’s: simple, clear, sexy, and recognizable.

What gets me the most though are the looks that inspire me on a more personal level. Not necessarily the ones that say “take my photo right away or I’ll have to chaaaaangeeee!” but the subtle lines that I end up putting in my style notebook and end up remember during my next shopping trip.

A flared skirt, a pair of simple heels, a mix of textures, a striped sweater… That’ll keep me inspired for spring!

After Raf Simons’ goodbye at Jil Sander yesterday, a wave of emotion came over the audience. Standing ovation, wet eyes, emotional tweets.

But we’re not losing Raf Simons (everybody says he’s going to Dior). Nor Jil Sander, on the contrary, as Jil Sander is returning to Jil Sander.

I think that it’s a sense of impermanence that we can feel in fashion that made us so emotional yesterday.
Why get attached to a brand if the designer changes so often ? Why follow the work of a designer when, just as he’s mastering the codes of one fashion house, he then has to dive into the history of another?

Sometimes, like Ghesquière at Balenciaga,  I’d like for them to stay with one house. And to continue to write the story of their creativity with serenity.
