We wanted to write an article about the documentary Diana Vreeland: “The Eye Has To Travel”, but for a lack of illustration, we finally dropped. And we discovered this book.
Throughout these pages: “l’allure”, according to Diana Vreeland.

As rightly pointed out in the preface by Marc Jacobs “a collection of images is like a collection of clothing, it is a vision.” And Diana Vreeland was a visionary.
Images of the era which inspired her, the Twenties, alongside her fashion photographs. A beautiful moodboard somehow!

Regarding the movie, before seeing it, we didn’t known well the character and we had more in mind the figure of the editor she inspired for Polly Magoo movie. We discovered the life of the first true fashion editor who imposed in Harpers Bazaar and British Vogue especially her view of women, fashion and more broadly of the time.

Visionary, she left the women’s magazine recipes for apple pies or rules to follow to be a good wife. Were born with her editorials, fashion pictures shot all over the world, they were born Twiggy, Lauren Hutton and Avedon, she was the one who put the fashion magazine in a new era. The readers were no longer there to be housewives but to assume their identity, including defects with an overdose of glamor.

Vreeland, the mother of Anna Wintour, Anna DelloRusso, Carine Roitfeld, the woman who invented the power of the editor on the world of creators. Also assumed that the duty of these priestesses is to feed all their pages breathing the air of their time.
Take risks, deciding, having a step ahead, always, Vreeland says: “We need to give people what they want without knowing it”.

It must be said, we left the cinema in a bitterness mood. We thank of these stories invented by Vreeland about herself to give fullness to her own character, exorbitant means given to her to quench her vision, but we had to add to her genius, the power of dollar.
Then we look back to her beginning in fashion. When all wearing Chanel, without ever having done anything, someone proposed her to integrate Harpers, because she had a certain taste and a sense of style… And because she were at the right place with her fellow beings. We finally took refuge in the image of a working woman and how Vreeland imposed her legitimacy and in a reality: she had taste and a real sense of style! Homage and admiration, even if it has to be admitted, if Diana Vreeland is a myth, it is not by fortuity…

Open toe in November, as an error in the agenda you could say…
It is true that this is not the season but I was reviewing the pictures of the last fashion week and I saw the feet… Taylor Tomasi those in this case.
And then, as the weather is “superb” in Paris at the moment, isn’t it? I thought a piece of summer would not hurt ourself…

Beyond this flashback to the time when it was not six degrees, finding this picture I remember what I had thought, seeing protrude those pretty manicured feet.
Obviously nothing to say about this flamboyant coral varnish, but the open toes, and the open back shoes too, always give me the impression of an imbalance.
I must be psycho but for me a shoe should be fully opened or fully closed. Then, these two toes beyond the end of the shoe, it’s… Don’t you think?

Style is made of your own taste and undeniable pieces we adopt if we are seduced by their reputation.
“This is the best,” this is how we talk about Mason Pearson brushes: it’s for brush what Rolls Royce is for car!

Always suspicious with this kind of implacable speech, I must say that it has found, arguments to convince me.
These models exist since 1885 and they are identical in every points to those of the time!
And finish is such that you can keep it all life long!

So I succumbed to the song of their reputation with this winning trio: the indispensable comb, the tail comb and the brush. The first is large which is very nice, I do not want to do without! The comb provides a bun to perfection and the brush… Let’s choose the 100% silk!
We want a Rolls or not!

Seeing the number of views, I must be the last to discover all these videos on youtube talking about beauty. After some peals of laughter when some girls explain the height of chic behind too long eyelashes and a centimeter of a foundation, we finally find true make up scientists.

American channels share good tricks and, as three hundred and sixty three thousand of people, I discovered what apparently is considered as the holy grail epidermal: Kim Kardashian’s skin. All lie apparently in her EYE M GLAM highlighter GIELLA created by Mario Dedivanovic, which is for the stars makeup what Franck Provost is not for their hair.

So, I have a point in common with the skin which everyone look, except that my highlighter is a cream from NARS. I haven’t found anyone to tell me the effect was also AMAZING but as I flee multilayers on the face and as it had its effect even on bare skin, I adopted it!

But I musn’t be the only one? Huh? You also hang out on youtube like that? I doubt there…

Some things revolves around you while you can’t name it. On the tip of the tongue, or in your mind, you hear the same tone again without noticing it and slowly, it appears: a trend is born.

With experience in the stirrings of pages, you locate it earlier, with experience (and age unfortunately) you see it coming and don’t follow all of them, and like everyone else, you end by adopting some, after this. Few people can claim to be a precursor but sometimes you get the feeling of seeing this wind and this trand coming, then you this style take as yours.
As a writer sometimes finds the words for you, a style that comes to the cover sometimes delivers you from an intuition you couldn’t explain. The word is like a banner.

“Boyish” in this case and even if I don’t like the word, it has the merit of describe a style that suits me perfectly.
I’ve always loved feminine silhouettes which plays with the other gent codes. I like to dress myself like that, I like to borrow, and it’s clear that what inspires me is often a kind of median.
Pleasure to see girls tastefully dressed like this or discover the mag editorials I like, as ACNE PAPER I always buy with a great pleasure.
Fran Lebowitz, the writer who made the cover of the latest issue epitomizes style boyish. A physical easily said ungrateful who gives an impressive strength to her. A male costume, always, made in Savile Row, poses her inimitable style.

Could all the girls exaggerate the male side of their wardrobe? Should have we to be charismatic to dare overalls or striped blazer? The answer is known: pretty girl emphasizes her feminity and delicacy becoming Sir, great personalities their charisma, under the control of a men’s tailor.

Sometimes the trends that are part of the wind, gone away before the next season. Other in which we dive with the certainty that it will be just for a while. But sometimes our personality seems to find a style on which it can land.
We won’t read the “boyish” word every day in a few months but the style will have a long life, in my wardrobe anyway, definitely.

Red (lipstick) dresses you in a second! It helps you when a date is improvised (although I don’t know if boys actually like it!?).

I’ve tried a ton, but I always come back to the classic red. It is the color, luminous, timeless, chic, glam! Which goes to everyone, don’t you think…

I opted for this one lately. In addition to the colors, the detail that is important to me is the packaging. In general I am always a little disappointed on it, sometimes too banal or too coarse, even cheap!

Newest for me, to be associated with: the pencil. I’ve never worn, I’ve always found it a bit too sophisticated, but then I chose exactly the same color. If I doubted the girl who advised me, I must admit she was right! Changes everything and nothing at the same time, but the red is longer and it highlights the slightly lips. Discrete but effective!

I asked my dressing room whom could boast of being indispensable in there?
David replied that nobody talks to a dressing room…
If it could answer, my white shirt would do, even if this is not the kind: this garment makes unanimously without having to add more.
Indisputable in a classic styling, attractive when it adds to its reputation an idea, as the neckband on my Carven.
No, it’s true, white shirt is incomparable: it works in all circumstances, it has an immediate effect, it can be sexy, formal, casual, it can be worn at all ages, and in all ways, never, never, it has been shunned!
VOGUE France this month? Cover: three models, three ages, three styles, three white shirts, undeniable!

Pictures divide. Discovering some ad campaigns, people likes, other doesn’t.
Discovering the Céline campaign for example, Sophie said, “I love” when I said “I hate”.
Round1… Fight!

David: enough of these pictures taken with flash, it’s ugly!
Sophie: ah? I think it’s great!
David: no, you can’t say that, the model isn’t highlighted, it looks like a stolen picture!
Sophie: I like it…
David: but no! You’re a photographer, see: there’s a problem! It’s amateur! And now it’s “trendy” to do things like amateurs, no I find it ugly, point.
Sophie: I’m not sure how you can tackle Juergen Teller like this…
David: the photographer? Of course, I can! These flamingos there, what are they doing, these flamingos? You’ve seen, they are not in the showcase but in front of it, as customers, what is this? We are flamingos?!
Sophie: take a cup of tea… I really like the model, a bit masculine… I find it nice to have chosen a girl who insn’t necessarily 18 years… And then I like the idea that we have made ​​a discreet makeup… And she is superb, Daria Werbory ​​anyway!
David: yes but…
Sophie: these photos aren’t expected, taken frontally, no frills. I think the light perfectly highlights the cut and color of the garment.
David: hum…
Sophie: I thought that the campaign was successful when, three days after seeing one of these ads, I still remembered what the girl was wearing! And I like the framing, a little staggered, this raw image looking like “party pictures”, no, I don’t think tyou can talk about an amateur job!
David: ok… And the Flamingos?
Sophie: hum… The flamingos…?
David: ah!

Sophie: 1 – David: 0

We lllooooovvvveee scarves! We always loved it, but we could think, its were not an essential item. Hermès of course, indisputable, but these timeless classics could wait a little… That was before because now, think about scarf for later is impossible.
Wind of modernity on the squares, re-visited patterns, you might want to wear… Immediately!

Break an outfit too strict, color it, make a figure brighted up, or tie it in the hair for fun or to conceal a magnificent regrowth between two cuts, we now can’t procrastinate and think about scarf for tomorrow!

We rarely dare. So we love to see on people these attempts, such as daring color or mix a feminine item with another male.
Boldness turns into something quite natural that makes us think about our wardrobe with new resolutions. Play with a cut, try the oversize, make our pants flash or scrounge a stuff to our boyfriend…

It could be summarized in decomplexing our look and playing with the intuition, the mood of the day…
Forget the Christmas tree perspective, what counts is the intention and in general, if you have a little taste, it’s always rewarded!

Resolution: minimum daring dose!
