Muse

Do you remember the casting I did in Australia ? We all fell in love with Cisco

It was for Muse magazine. It is out now, and the issue is great ! Here are a few pictures of the story…

Oh my god, now I CAN’T WAIT TO GO TO THE BEACH !!! Kisses !

How To…
wear your vintage minishorts

In Australia, everybody wears them. It’s the official model off-duty outfit since 2005. You see them everywhere in New York and they are on their way to Paris. You can find some fantastic pairs in thrifht shops for about 4$.

Tell me, have you bought a pair of minishorts too? Are they the same as mine, even tighter and shorter than the one on the picture? Are you looking at it telling yourself Woh! This thing is not much bigger than Dita Von Teese’s panties!

Are you wondering if, really, you will be able to go out on the street wearing them?

Cisco!

Oh oh oh, you’re so good! I ended up going with Cisco for all the same reasons that you

went over yesterday, because we felt that connection in seconds, and also because… I just love her hair.

It seems a little off to say it like that but it’s pretty darn rare to find models with a real hair cut.

Bangs, bobs or special haircuts make the whole hairdo business more complicated for hairdressers on a shoot or at a show. Short hair can make you lose a few jobs…

But it could get you some as well.  It gives a lot of personality! But yeah, I got back to my hotel the night of the casting thinking that it was high time to do something about my non-haircut. (Especially with how easy my hair is now I feel like I can get any haircut I want!!!) (Aaaaaaaaah too many options, get me a hair magazine!)

Oh no, I’m getting sidetracked. So Monday, we did the shoot with Cisco, and she was even more beautiful than I could’ve imagined. We stuffed our bags full of delirious outfits and crammed them into her car. She took us over to Bronte Beach where we listened to David Bowie and sang Dolly Parton in the background. It was a beautiful day. We shot a million photos. She showed us some clothes that she made in Bali. We became friends, and the next day, I met her husband and friends, and yesterday evening, we all grabbed drinks together!

—–> Sometimes, happiness is a good haircut.

Aaaaah I’m just kidding!!!

Okay, off I go! I’m off to take a plane to New York. I’ll show you the results from the shoot as soon as it’s at the newsstand! Big Hugs!

My Pet Square

Hi ! Live from my favorite café in Sydney (I am going to take pictures of it, I love it too much!), here are a few photos I took this morning (it’s 2am in New York, it’s 4pm in Sydney!) of Vicky and her dog, the adorable PK. He is the only dog I know that wears a bow tie.

Even better… A leather bow tie!

Here in Sydney things are pacing up a little (is that how you say when it’s calming down ? Tiiiiim sorry I’ve been so late lately!), and tomorrow we are going on week-end in the Australian outback (Ever heard about Wolgan Valley?) to meet kangaroos (my dream) and try to have them wear bow ties, cause other that that, I might not encounter much fashion out there!!!

Ok, I’m off now, kisses and talk to you later!

Postcard from Sydney

Sorry I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t been able to write anything and I miss youuuuuuu guys!!!
Here is a picture I shot yesterday in Sydney. TTYASAP! Kisses!

Exhibitionist!

I didn’t even give you a heads up (I’m a little superstitious actually, I think), but I’m in Australia for a show of illustrations I did for Westfield. Here is the invitation, and I’ll show you the rest of the work I did soon.

The press opening in Sydney was this morning (At the Westfield Bondi Junction) (I’ll post a few pictures later), and tomorrow we’ll make an opening in Melbourne.
If you want to meet me, you can come around 1.30 p.m at the Westfield Doncaster Styling Suite, Ground floor, Fashion Precinct.

Oook I’ve gotta go! I have interviews to do! (I really have to tell you about doing like 20 interviews in a row, that is crazy !)

Wish me luck and sorry to be in such a rush! Kisses!

Sunrise

One of the advantages of jet lag, besides having extra time to reflect on life or some time to read tons of paperbacks in the middle of the night, is the opportunity to watch the sunrise sitting on the windowsill while the whole world is sleeping…

But the thing about arriving in Australia is that actually, you feel like this :

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 ...
