Known for her style and her gift to smell any new fashion talent years before anyone else; Carine is also the best friend of Mario, Karl & Tom...so no worried for her future...

Black is never Absolute' or when Cavalli plays God

Also known as the men who creates animal-woman, Cavalli remains a figure of Italian scene and especially with his famous prints -leopardskin, zebra, hindu godess,...- with which he created several chocks and scandals all around the fashion world.



To celebrate his 70th birthday and his 40 years in fashion, Roberto Cavalli is exposing a collection of his pictures at the Palazzo Morando in Milan.

Not the most original idea but certainly a MUST to see; the exhibition is untitled 'Black is never absolute' as a reference to the rainbow of colours Oldy-Goody Roberto is using in each of his collection but also because he does believe his designs make life 'less boring'.

Full of his Italian modesty - as always-,Cavalli declared to the press that 'the greatest designer is god' and that he loves to inspire himself from him.

By the way, even Cavalli has been a good designer in his golden years...common 70 years old Roberto, botox wont save you!

Pimp your Burberry trench!!

We have all heard of Nike ID - to pimp up your own pair shoe, Longchamps.fr - to create your own pliage bag,ect... Fashion is back to "unique" items for SURE!

Last seasons Burberry was here to AMAZE us with its new communication tools: catwalk projection real-time all around the world, interactive add campaigns...

Here comes the last gift from Burberry team: create your own trench!

Called "Bespoke Burberry", the concept of personalizing your trench coat will be launched soon; giving customers about 12 million possibilities to pimp their coat: colours, buttons, initials...

Amazing marketing move, Burberry can be seen today as one of the most innovative luxury company on communication tools.




And let's never forget that even if the trench is THE ITEM of the last seasons; it is also the ESSENTIAL coat to have in your wardrobe.

Let me start to think how i'll pimp up mine...mmmmmmm I Love it already!

Golden boys, stock exchanges & checkmate

You would never believe I would talk finance, stock shares & takeover bids; would you?

But when it's about fashion, there is no subject to be avoided and especially not when the protagonists are the timeless Maison Hermes & the giant LVMH (Louis Vuitton, Dior, Moet & Chandon,...).

Last saturday, Mr Arnault announced that LVMH bought 17% of Hermes stock shares; insisting that he does not pretend to a hostile takeover but that he simply wanted to become a "friendly" long-term shareholder.

BIG SHOCK inside HERMES House where they never believed the danger to be that close.



Nowadays Hermes, Chanel & PPR Group (Gucci Group) are the biggest competitors of the LVMH Holding on the luxury market. Having the opportunity to takeover Hermes will be A MUST for Bernard Armault and an extra "jewel" for his group.

Yesterday, HERMES Familly met officially the CEO of LVMH to claim their displeasure to see the group taking over their "familly company". Bernard Arnault was asked to stop his attack on their stocks. But will they follow Hermes warning?

Benard, tell us what's on your mind?



Hermes check...mate?

"symbolic, historic, out of time"

Masking people...why?

"we all wear a 'mask' following different states we have to face, so why not making them alive?"

Blogger during the day, designer at night?

"Designer and artistic director during the day, blogger at night "


Your inspirations?


"My life and their life"

Your favorite accessory?

"My adidas jacket, my "gri-gri" - luckycharms.

Dear Baptiste Giabiconi, looking fool never killed anyone...

...but it might get your showtime over...

Being French,GORGEOUS EVER & Karl's muse was not enought for our dear Baptiste that just decided to make like Saint Gaga or Lady Paradis & give us some sound!

Recorded in Paris, his first single called "Showtime" might be the end of his carreer on the Glamourous, Chic & Distinguissed Fashion Paris...but will help him in US for sure!

When Karl told him:
When I was - yes, when I was a child, yes because in school we could make a choice between ballroom dancing and gym and I chose ballroom dancing.
he just didn't listened & thought it was just cooler to pass from Chanel stages to 50 Cents studios...




Babe, don't steal too many fans to Britney or she might try to pathetically kill herself...again...

When Wikipedia wears Prada, you can call it WikiFashion...

THEY DID IT!

French Vogue is giving today the opportunity to learn more about fashion tips, history and world...

From Castelbaljac to Misel...all our fashion people are here & well explained :)

So now, if around a very-super-fashionable-poshy diner, you don't get who is who during the conversation you can always click on "Wiki de la mode" from your iphone!!



If I read one article per day I might be able to say you is wearing what on the next Chanel défilé!

Our lives without heels...

As the new trend goes to higher and thinner heels...my doc told me today than heels are bad for my little baby feet and then I started to imagine our lives without heels!

Do not put heels:you will look 1m60 and God knows your legs look fatter this way and you do to...

Do not put heels: you will be asked your ID at club entrances...girls from 16 DO NOT CARE about their feet, so you did at this age...


TO DO or NOT TO put heels...here is the real question!



Ok NO DRAMA girls because Christian, our dear Christian found the answer in its new super cuty, super chic Freddy shoes...check them on Mika and then die in front of the nude pair with gold pins in the windows Rue Saint Honoré...




Christian, our feet love you...

...but don't think I won't put my heels tonight!!

Once unpon a time, a blond builted up a political parti

"Beautiful people" is the name of the political parti builted up by the Romanian model Sanziana Buruiana & certainly the best JOKE of 2010.

Any little girl had the dream of a world where Barbie will be the President, where there will be houses in marshmallow & a lot of Prince Charming in their white horses... The queen of good taste did it (sarcastic remark)!



Of course we couldn't wait any serious action plans from a blond & a model but for SURE she put herself on the first line of...absurdity...

My dearest friends, I never had told you anything about blonds & models before but now I have to express myself: they are NOT the key element of Fashion...especially not "smartness-degree" talking :)

So Mrs Beautiful Sanziana people decided to promote her career and her country by defending new rules such as:

-People who are over-weight will be taxed 10€ for every kilo they gain each month - finally the world is gonna be super-skinny!



-Each tourist guide in Romania should be a model in bikini, so it will improve the number of foreign visitors - will they be able to buy them as a souvenir too?!

...and the best to come...

- People who are to make jokes about blonds can go to prison - AH AH AH AH no comment




Till 2014...I'll ask my Romanian citizenship for SURE!

Dirty Sexy Money // Dirty Fashion Secrets

This morning, more than 600 journalists, bloggers & fashion officials received a "anonymous" letter that will give gossips to the fashion world for weeks to come untitled: "ANDAM, what a SHAME!"

In this letter, Carine Roitfeld -aka Vogue France editor in chief- is directly accused of screwing the results of ANDAM contest puting Hakaan Yildim winner...in exchange of a VEEEEERY nice sum of money.

To be true - and regarding the contest rules - Hakaan wouldnt have been able to participate without any help from a part: he had only presented 1 collection (2 in the rules) and is not really settled in London (but in Istanbul)...

Moreover we already rrealized she participated to his catwalk last season in London - very unusual move from the "Devil wears Dior" which is NEVER participating to young designers's presentation .

More than this, the writer put on trial the whole "Fashion Mafia" that prefers to think about their personal needs than to the real core of fashion: finding the new artists and helping them to go to the top ( cf: Gareth Pugh or Martin Margiela // previous winners of ANDAM).

Anywayyysss Hakaan finally won around 220 000€ with which he will be now able to... give the half to our dearest Carine for her next Hermes white croco bag :)

One question on my lips tho, Carine will -of course- be cleared from any suspiction but what will happen to Hakaan in the nasty nasty world of fashion?!



XoXo I love Dirty Fashion secrets!!

Women are flowers by John Galliano// Christian Dior couture

Certainly my favorite catwalk from the week so far; Galliano totally AMAZED me with his concept for Fall 2010.

Not usually a big fan for John-John's extra-exagerated mise en scenes, I literally fell in love with this couture collection.

As only Monsieur Christian Dior could have done, Galliano created a collection around woman's feminity and freshness by changing them into flowers.

Colours, fabrics, volumes, everything is perfectly melted and balanced to charm our fashionista-hearts.







For once you'll hear me say Johnny I love you - can you make me the same haircut??

Check the whole collection on www.style.com

Sorry...hum...may I have a bozca-vodka please?

This is EXACTLY the sentence you'll be screaming to the barmaid this summer over the loud electro music!

Bozca is THE new drink to refresh your days along the pool or your hot crazy nights of 2010. To be exact, it's a sparkling fruity natural drink made to be served veeeery cold with ice or vodka!!...or both?!

Don't tell me it's a "girl drink" it's not even tho it's red (for cherry)and full of little electro-hearts; it's just the coolest drink for summer!!

Moreover - as a fashion girl I have to admit- the packaging is GORGEOUS, black and so chic!! -- we all know why you drink black Cola Zero over the red one now common!!--

Check out Bozca on www.bozcadrink.com



So forget about Redbull for summer, it is SOOOOOO 2009!!... do you have Bozca?!

Tell me a story in black & white // John Galliano Spring 2011 menswear

For the first time So Chic & Famous will talk about men fashion! But if you just take a look at Galliano last catwalk you can only LOVE it!

The master of fashion mise en scene inspired himself from Charlie Chaplin & his silent masterpiece: Modern Times.

Eclectic//Electric music, crowd screaming as in a rock concert, a huge clock in the backgroud; the models come up wearing extra large stiped pants, gentlemen "cire" shoes and Charlie's mustache! Even tho we find some inspirations from Pugh in the white make-up & the black lipstick - plus John's usual little gay touch; Galliano pops up with an amazing show again!

After the sucess of Sherlock Holmes & the return of British old cars (eg: mini, aston,...),we should believe that our modern-men fashion is taking the way back to the 20's??



John bring us back some nice British Gentlemen walking with umbrellas please!!

29 June 2010

Hakan Yildirim + ANDAM contest = Turkish designers ROCK!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunatly he will present Hakaan collection and not his AMAZING couture line...Let's see if he will react as any previous Turkish designer such as Chalayan, Bora Aksu or Dice Kayek & dissapear from the Turkish Fashion scene to settle abroad...or if he'll be proud enought to stay here & prouve for once that Turkish Design ROCKS!!!

Chanel Loves Istanbul...

After setteling in the famous luxury mall istinye park, Chanel made a dedication to the city of Istanbul in its last Chanel n°5 advertizing.

Today, if you walk down Abdi Ipekci, just after the new Brandroom by Harvey Nichols, you can see the cube representing the future shop CHANEL!!!!!

This is certainly not a new for most of the fashionista & not also for the people who knew Chanel was searching for a place to settle for almost one year.

The BIG NEW is that our dearest Karl will celebrate Istanbul one more time by creating a croisière line "Paris-Istanbul"...who will be presented during a catwalk in Istanbul...in November!!!

So take your t.shirt "Karl Who?" out of the closet & put your black sunglasses on...Chanel will rock Istanbul !!!

Totally Gaga...

Named as "the soundtrack of our times" by Giorgio Armani, Lady Gaga is not only a musical phenomenon but an AMAZING fashion icon.


here with Mika...

You will certainly never wear a glitter-extra shoulders-transparent body on the street...she will!!

You know those last pieces after sales in TopShop or H&M that no one would wear? She can!

She is driving us Gaga...creating a Gaga-addiction or makes us still sing "my my my poker face my my poker face" in the metro every morning...it is only because she ROCKS!

For her Monster Ball Tour, she would have the pleasure to be dressed by our dearest italian buddy: Giorgio - that did not have enought fame in his Empire!

Glitters, lipstick & stilettos for Istanbul Fashion Week...

One month out of the blog seems a loooong time but you all have to know i was preparing this big event called: Istanbul Fashion Week.



Sorry not to have been able to make a story while I was dealing with models, VIP lists and show-show-showsssss but here it is.

Istanbul is the European Capital of Culture for 2010 SURE but also the city launches its second edition of Istanbul Fashion Week!! The goal is to make the city one of the Fashion Capitals before 2023 - date of the Republique century.

This new edition was not only better that the previous one but gave everyone the clues of Istanbul Fashion potential inside and outside the catwalk areas.

Santral Istanbul - ancient electric central that used to distribute electricity to all the city- was the place to be from 3rd to 6th February with 15 catwalks, 4 parties, 20 booths, 200 press editors and buyers from all around the world and more than 20.000 visitors...IFW was more glitters, stilletos and lipstick than Istanbul has ever seen in one place.



Appart from the organisation I could have picked few names for you that would be -in the future- revelent not only for Turkish Fashion scene but also for International market...

Please welcome ARZU KAPROL and her amazing last show piece...



Women are black roses from Hakan Yildirim...
