If I wasn't a lady I'll scream: 'WTF is happening to Chanel?'

As every and each respectable Fashion-addict, I started following this season with the Paris Couture Fashion Week.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure to pass on Alexis Mabille, Christian Dior and THE new star Alexandre Vauthier! But what you REALLY wait from couture...let's not lie to ourselves...DREAM DREAM DREAM!!!

This is exactly why I was hoping to find in Chanel Couture catwalk this season: My princess dress!

So I wore my pearl earings, sat in front of my computer and opened Chanel on style.com. The words stayed blocked... was this the worst defile in Chanel's history?

By looking closer, I could not choose what was the most horrid:

the glitter 80's pants...that Karl found one night in Regine's toilets?



the Indian version of the Chanel suit?



Or Grandma's wedding dress??...



I hope my chouchou Maxime Simoens will help me to recover from this Chanel-fashion-depression...

Man or (Wo)Man? : the new criterias for beauty

The whole 'normal world' is always making comments on the influence of fashion on the new criterias of beauty.

The models used in campaigns and defiles are every year younger and thinner. Is it a result of the influence of Fashion on society or society on Fashion??...this is still a mystery!

The reality is that most of the agencies DO impose the weight to girls but most of the brands DO NOT wish to make skeletons catwalk with their outfits.

Let's get out of the PATH and let's deal with the new generation of models and icons...

Beth Ditto @ JPG

Rico @ Mugler

Today, having a 'fashion icon' for a brand DOES mean to instore new rules, new ideals...new criterias of beauty!

Now check out the new commer - beautiful and perfectly sexy - Andrej Pejic seen recently at JPG Women defile and on Marc Jacobs new adds...





But check it twice and you'll be able to understand that out of being androgine, Andrej is simply...a man!

If is this the new criterias for beauty be careful girls...boys might be soonly taking your places on the catwalk tracks!

Anatomy of Change...

CHANGE is a real word that can describe the road that Thierry Mugler is taking this season with Nicola Formicceti - Lady Gaga personnal shopper- as a designer.

Thierry Mugler who?...the name you only knew from the perfume lately; a brand on the same level than Pierre Cardin was taken in new hands to REBORN brand fresh, brand new!

GAGAesque show that only this pic can explain....



Cannot believe I missed Gaga singing during the show!!!...'Alejandroooooooo'

Who would you choose to be your bridegroom? - Vivienne Westwood Men AW2012

Dear Dear Vivienne Westwood got crazy again on her new collection shown during Milan Men Fashion Week today!

The Queen of flashy colours and psychadelic prints explained that as a British citizen, she got cought into the 'Royal Wedding obsession' too and found herself thinking about how she would dress little Willy for the BIG DAY.

She declared that: "With royal marriage in the air, who would you choose to be your bridegroom? Come on girls, our catwalk is your chance to dream."

Ok Vivi, can I have Sir Beetlejuice?



or maybe i'll go for Dorian Grey Junior...



Sorry...too many British boys, too many colours, too hard to choose! Kate HELP!!!

La Reine est morte...Vive la Reine!!

Last week, over a business diner far far away from Paris we were discussing about the Fashion world favorite subject since one week: who is gonna take the head of Vogue France?

My dear fashion-gossiper friend explained me the 'what, why, when' of what REALLY happened to Carine and we started to fantasize on the next Queen to take over the throne...

As we were enjoying wine and gossips, we started talking about Emmanuelle- Fashion Editor of Vogue and ex head of MIXTE magazine - and we ALL knew she was already seen her as the ONE!

Personnaly, her rock'n roll attitude AMAZES me and I wonder what she'll do with the first edition of our fashion bible...

Emmanuelle, our Queen, we wish you good luck!!



Maybe i'll re-suscribe to Vogue this year?!
