Our dear friend Barbie wears Louboutin...

For the doll’s 50th anniversary, the shoemaker Christian Louboutin collaborates with Mattel to create a new model.



For this alliance, the famous designer reshaped the doll’s feet for her to be able to wear higher heels!!

Our new sexy and posh friend will be wearing a leather-like jumpsuit and will have the choice between 5 different pairs of Louboutin shoes: leopard boots, pink stilettos...,each of them in a small silk and paper box –soooo Louboutin!!
Here is the perfect gift for our future fashion lovers, but we shouldn’t be surprised when our little 15 years old girly will ask for a Louboutin leopard pair of boots for next X-Mas!!


Please note that our dear Mr Christian Louboutin is playing Ken in both settings, and what a Ken!!

Santa Claus is a Fashion Victim!!

As every year, the famous French department stores le Printemps & les Galeries Lafayette organize a grand opening for their Christmas windows – a real even for all!

This year the two giants had the same idea to mix fashion to Santa and did it well On the 12th November, Karl Lagerfeld & Natalia Vodianova lighted the windows for Le Printemps. The artistic director of Chanel created a mise en scene around a Coco Chanel doll in a fairy world. The chic Dior House also contributed to some of the X-Mas windows melting fashion and toys in a cosmic world.






Les Galleries Lafayette Store preferred to play on a « Gourmand Christmas », putting some macaroons & cupcakes under the tree.
Internationally well-known designers –such as Kenzo, Jean Paul Gauthier & Marc by Marc- created windows full of chocolate, bunnies, gingerbread dolls and luxury clothes.

On our way to Mongolia?!

Constant pionner in the luxury sector, the famous LOUIS VUITTON has just opened a shop in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia - who would ever believe it?

Already in 30 different chinease cites, the giant is not affected by the crisis -it is the brand that suffers less- and continues to expend itself. Th group LVMH who were the first to settle in China and India before the world could realize those countries potencial might have discovered a new target for the luxury market: the mongolian people.

When Mongolia sounds to you like a country far far away close to the stories of Mulan; a new paradize for luxury is rising.

The city of Ulaanbaatar, counts 1 million of inhabitants – 1/3 of the whole population – and was defined THE NEW PLACE TO BE for the luxury brands. Far way from Gengis Khan settlements, the city has been well develloped thanks to Russian funds in the last years and brings together today a mix of local rich industrials and expatriates.

Following the powerful “Malletier”, Zegna, Burberry and Hugo Boss will sonly open their first store in the Mongolian capital.



We shouldn't be surprized when it will become fashionnable for us to go have a week end there, do some shopping in Sukhbaatar and get a shake our booties in Ismuss Club next to giant Staline statues!

Who told you Chic & Vintage couldn't match?

On the 10th November, in the corner of Avenue Montaigne & Champs Elysées, a light green aligator Birkin HERMES bag who used to belong to Naomie Campbell was sold for not less than 21 000€.


This bag is one of the pieces from the HERMES VINTAGE annual auction that takes place in ARTCURIAL quarters in Paris and the funds will be given to "The white Ribbon Alliance" Association to fight against mother & child birth mortality.

For few years, the prestigious French House - that never makes mistakes- organised those auctions selling its best "vintage" pieces: a good way to make a buzz by selling all it's stocks and look over-the-edge because...everyone dreams about a vintage Kelly bag!

Among the pieces, you could find a Hermes Bike starting 700€, some JeaggerLeCoultre for Hermes watches starting at 500 € or a bound of Kelly bags - you don't have to queue for!.





The last sales summed 725 000€ which is a nice shot for selling GrandMa's old clocks & gloves... but who wouldn't have LOVED to be there and got the last word on this amazing LOT 264 Blolide Vintage bag??.



Until the next auction, let's wish that one day we will walk in the streets feeling like Grace and Jane!...

When BB "Bonny" teaches you how to dress...

When I tell you Brigitte Bardot, you think about this marvelous, sexiest ever, glamourous French actress & singer... You hum hum "Bonny & Clyde" and remember the good 60's you would have loved to live in.

BB was not only the sex-symbol of a whole bunch of girls in the years of peace & love but she is still THE model to follow because:

- BB loved sailling like Karl for CHANEL







-BB was not only glamourous but Rock'in the dancefloors with her glitter short dresses - as BALMAIN in the last catwalk







- BB was a up-to-knees leather boots girl - at the time she was not runing an Anti-fur association- and MJ loves it for LOUIS VUITTON






Finally, BB is rulling Fashion even today but still the question of dying my hair in blond or not?!

BRIGITTE BARDO EXHIBITION AT Musée des Années 30, PARIS until 31st January 2010

Rumors in Black & White...

In the world of Fashion, gossips & rumors are the best cards to play and certainly the most dangerous.This one is to be confirmed very soon and might interrest every gossip, fashion, trendy, crazy & poshy girl.

Everyone knows that Karl - God of Chicness & M.Jackson gloves - will soon have to leave our beloved Chanel House. Of course, Mr Poudered-hair has been the one who saved the house and brang it back to life; and might never really got out of it- but it is time to think about a new pretender to the Chanel Throne.

If we pass throught the list of potential "good" designers...



Tom Ford - too much provocation - would you ever imagine Mrs Chanel in a porte-jartelle posing in a very unsuitable position?




Heidi Slimane - too much drugs - ok he is the 2nd king of Black & White but let us avoid Kate Moss sniffing cok***e on a background of love story & Tour Eiffel.




Marc Jacobs - Too much "Love in America" - the designer for LV is certainly the less "Frenchy" one and would then never fit the job -love you MJ

Any other option? As I was told from an intern source and an external one XoXo the winner is.... Albert Elbaz!!


Frenchy, chic and perfectionnist, he is not only the perfect fit but is definitly the best designer the world has known this last years. The question is who will save Lanvin??




So now Let's gossip and pass it around...
