Bonjour,

Paris has a special place in my heart, being my favorite city and being full of art and fashion everywhere one looks. It also is the favorite location for fashion week among many designers.
This is a round-up of the highlights. I'm going to do it in two parts.

ChloƩ (so hard to choose one!):

Lanvin:( PHENOMENAL show):








Stella McCartney: (great show)






Balmain:
Isabel Marant(couldn't chose just one):







Dior (another season perfectly done by Raf Simons):



Kenzo (once again I couldn't narrow it down:)



Paul and Joe:


Louis Vuitton: 


Balenciaga:
Akris:


Dries Van Noten:


Part two is coming soon,
xoxo,
Chantal

Fashion Profile: Alexander Wang NYFW 2014 Fall-Winter

Bonjour,

At last it's NYC Fashion Week, the most anticipated event of the season. Sadly, only those with invitations get to attend, but the next best thing is viewing the live-streamed shows.
One of the events I was most excited for was Alexander Wang's, whom was showing in the controversial borough Brooklyn.  Venues are extremely important, and I was intrigued by his choice. I think it matches his effortlessly cool style and was a perfect venue, as it is an upcoming spot for new trends. Anyway, his collection was fabulous. He incorporated heavy leather with laser-cut detailing from black to neon colors. In addition, to his signature cool but edgy style, his garments gave a nod to sportswear. He included thermal-changing color technology in his collection. Very cool. I especially loved his sleek black knee-high boots which were paired with every outfit.




tata for now. more to come later.

Avant Garde Unconventional Jacket

Bonjour!

I'm back! Sorry for the long break.

Over the years I've always admired those who push the boundaries of fashion. It's fascinating to see clothes that are different from anything imaginable.  One of the ways I decided to test the boundaries was by using unconventional materials-  plastic utensils.
