The pencil skirt, star of our dressing-room.

Elsa Vecchi & Guillaume Alcaraz — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:11:38 +0000

What is better then a straight skirt, narrow, tightened below the knee, to magnify our curves like a fifties pin-up? The version of the season called “pencil” plays with all the conventional codes… for a sexy elegant look.

Chanel Haute-Couture: the underside of a spectacular show!

Elsa Vecchi & Guillaume Alcaraz — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 11:30:46 +0000

A crazy scenery, a little like Space Odyssey, for a divinely blue collection! On the menu: an aircraft in anodized aluminum, 120 windows, 250 seats, a 50 meters long runway, 2.20 meters wide. On the ceiling, a giant screen with 32 projectors showing a “cloud” film. Seat numbers in micro-LED. A 60 meters corridor to reach the capsule that definitely kept its promises: propelling us into the stratosphere of the sublime. One week of drawing + 3 weeks of construction + a week of assembly in the Grand Palais = THE ABSOLUTE CLASS!

Men on the runway!

Milan’s fashion week has just finished that Paris takes over! For our pleasure! We have a real crush on Louis Vuitton, designed by Kim Jones, the men’s collection’s art director, under Marc Jacobs supervision. His second collection for the famous French brand is a must: luxurious figures draped in real kangaroo robe-like belted coats, crocodile suede or plaid jackets, cashmere sweaters, boots in astrakhan and lizard… Chic on every floor!

Adrien Brody, Gary Oldman and Willem Dafoe: Top models?

Elsa Vecchi & Guillaume Alcaraz — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 18:18:34 +0000

No doubt if you see the images of Miuccia Prada’s last men’s show in Milan! This event named “Il Palazzo”, translation of “the Palace”, shows us all the key items of a masculine wardrobe, symbols of power. The result: a magisterial Adrien Brody in a pimp-rapper look wearing a dark red printed coat with a fur collar and matching red glasses, Willem Dafoe and Gary Oldman, more sober with a total black outfit, very chic too… It is quite something when Hollywood stars step on the runway!

Chic ski!

As announced during Fall-Winter 2011 fashion weeks, the ski outfits are not reserved anymore for weekends at the cottage! Which we are rather happy about considering the present temperatures! Here are a few items you can wear at the office, or on the snow-covered slopes, just as you like…

*A pair of “Tivoli Plaid” Sorel – since they have been sold at the temple of fashion, Colette, we have no more scruples about wearing them.

*Of course… a Moncler down jacket!

*A loose-knit sweater: you can find some in a lot of brands, but we have a weakness for the retro look at Celine.

Leggings… (leather made for a rock twist), from Balmain!

*A sweater by JCDC (Jean-Charles de Castelbajac)

Only one step from ski slopes to dance floors! We love sport!

David Beckham for H&M: VERY HOT!

Elsa Vecchi & Guillaume Alcaraz — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:37:38 +0000

What is better to start the year than these pictures of the sexiest soccer player in the world? Photographed naked… or almost? David Beckham of course! The man poses in the underwear collection the Swedish retail chain asked him to design: boxers, tank tops, T-shirts and pajamas… A dream! Everything (the collection but not the man!) will be available in 1800 H&M stores as of February 2nd in the whole world. Enough to make our loved ones VERY HOT too!

Be at the top in 2012!

Every January comes with a detailed review of the upcoming trends. In 2012, you will have to bet on natural beautiful hair: done with the overrated effects, go for natural hair such as Charlotte Gainsbourg. As for fashion, we will go for sorbet shades, play with transparencies with underwear going on top, but also architecture white outfits… In a word, you will have to play glamour and chic at every level. Enough to forget the winter rain, isn’t it?

Best wishes!

As is customary, we wish you all the best for 2012, health, happiness, a lot of shopping rides, and of course to live in perfect harmony with your desires… What if in 2012 we just spoiled ourselves, and let you, dear men, cover us with presents? An idea? For Valentine’s Day, next February 14th, we WANT the new delicate Chanel collection, all in powdered and romantic shades, just like your love for us… A good way to start the year, isn’t it?

Chanel collection for Valentine’s Day, available in all Chanel stores as of February 2012.

3 important fashion moments in 2011

Elsa Vecchi & Guillaume Alcaraz — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 15:27:06 +0000

The intolerable Galliano affair

On February 24th, after an altercation in a Parisian café, Dior’s artistic director is found guilty of violence, racism, and anti-Semitic insults. The Couture house instantly fires him. This is the end of a reign.

Kate Middleton: a fashion icon

Her wedding dressed designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen propelled the Princess of Wales to the status of international fashion icon. Since then, she persists and shows her taste for a chic and classic fashion.

Good-bye to Loulou de la Falaise

Loulou de la Falaise, Yves Saint-Laurent’s faithful friend and muse, an important figure of the fashion world, who was designing jewellery at the end of her life, passed away.

We Wish you a Happy Holiday, See you in 2012 !!!!
