Salut !

This week I’m reporting from an exhibition called Vestologie that is on display under the beautiful 19th century dome of the Printemps department store on the Boulevard Haussmann. 'Vestologie' refers to the French word "veste" that I now understand is a sort of an umbrella term for many sor...

Alas, Paris Fashion Week has come to an end! 

It's been quite a busy week, even though I haven't been really involved with the Fashion Week itself. I've mostly been watching some recordings of the shows and admiring some pictures of them on Instagram (especially from Nina Garcia's account)...

Salut !

Guess what? It's Paris Fashion Week again! Even though I'm obviously not invited to any of the shows, it's still just fun to think that I breathe the same Parisian air as all of the guests, models and crew that participate in the most important fashion event of the year. The brands are curr...

Salut !

I cannot explain how inspired I feel right now! It's actually been a while since I've last had this strong of a feeling of inspiration – and it's wonderful and invigorating.

You guessed it by the title of this email; my source of inspiration at the moment is the one and only Ralph Laure...

Salut !

This week I'd like to just make a friendly reminder that also serves as a note to self: if you're buttoning a shirt without a mirror, it's useful to check if you buttoned the buttons correctly! 

Last weekend I was roaming around the centre of the city of Rouen with some friends and I was w...

Salut !

Lately I’ve been especially inspired by the fashion designer Carolina Herrera’s message of style and elegance. I rewatched a few of her interviews and I realized once again how brilliantly she crafted her career in fashion while having a relatively normal family life outside of fashion. She...
