White Heat

Jacket, Dries Van Noten

I remember September in New York. It was fashion week and sashaying before me were all nude shades, cream colors, warm whites…

It was ho-hum boring. I wanted color!

This weekend, I had the same initial reaction at Département Féminin. And though I was shopping for colored shirts, gold shoes, greens, blues…

Dress, Balenciaga

… Everything that made me fall for Carole’s superb selection of clothes revolved around white. So impressive it was that I let myself get caught up in the soothing sensuality of its colors…and wanted nothing else to photograph.

My last two days were anything but what you see in the last photo. I was confined to my bed with I don’t even know how much of a fever, calling my mom, my man, my dad, my man, my super, anyone and everyone. Not for a second was I as glamourous as Chloé.

Kisses to you all. I’m quite happy to be back on my feet again.  Nothing like a good ol’ feverous delirium to remind you how good it is to feel alive again.

And to my lovely comforter, I thank you for your time, but i must now attend to the outside world.  Bonne journée!

Concrete Ambitions

I love the concept of abstract inspiration that The Sartorialist often talks about. A fashion photo, whether it comes from a magazine or the streets, is most likely an idea, an emotion rather than a catalogue of things to buy.

Stop. Sometimes too, a photo’s just something that gives you the urge to blow off your credit card in a shopping spree.

Whoa, what happened to me wasn’t the slightest abstract experience at all. This fur hat and most especially, the boots below, are those things that I really wanted to grab and go running away from their wearers. And put them on together, which doesn’t quite pass as a good idea.

Enough with the romantic, sappy notions, okay? Sometimes, you just have to take action.

It’s exactly what I just did. I…um…

I actually took the pleasure of politely asking where those gorgeous flat fur boots came from, as the lovely pair was meant to be a refuge of comfort and warmth in the heart of winter, a cross between my grandma’s furry Moon Boots at Val d’Isère in 76 and… Non, I can’t bear to say its name, too horrible… The words just won’t come out of my mouth….er, um, ooh, ah, uuuuuuugg. Pfiou, that was hard. Okay, Uggs, for lack of a better comparison.

I asked and heard it well and good. Well, I only got what I deserved: an answer.

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 ...
