Quote of the day....


"we must never confuse elegance with snobbery",
- Yves Saint Laurent

Vogue Paris March 2009 - Iris Strubegger

By far one of my ultimate favourite Vogue covers, this is class, this is fashion, this is PARIS. Iris Strubegger, model of the moment...she almost does a better Karl Lagerfeld
Here is some more recent works.... c'est magnifique!

"I DO"

Bridal Fashion inspired by the Vintage Cinema Beauties including Brigette Bardot, Marilyn Monroe, and Romeo's Juliette featured exquisite couture gowns from some of the worlds most prestigious couturiers... Elie Saab, Delfine Manivet, Temperley London, and Rosa Clara.
Would make saying "i do" and committing much easier in one of these masterpieces dont you think?

Keeping it Sweet, Delectable and Pastel - Pastel Petit Fours




While petit four can refer to any bite-sized sweet presented at the end of a meal, they're usually tiny, beautifully iced cakes. Petits fours are traditionally made with an almond sponge cake, or joconde, but they can be any flavor of cake-and filling-you choose.

With a seemingly infinite variety of shapes, flavors and decoration, you can dress these little cakes up for a tea party, a bridal shower, or an elegant luncheon. A tray full of delectable and beautiful petits fours turns any event into an extraordinary occasion.



Chanel S/S 2010





"...more of an electronic flash in my head at five o'clock in the morning...SILVER AND PASTEL...It is a first time in my whole career that ive done a collection without black or navy. There's not one gold button." Karl Lagerfield on the collection.

This beautiful and dreamlike collection is a change in shades and tones however no where short of the classic cut and aesthetic that is Chanel. The heart shaped cartoonish hair added to the romantic space age theme, that saw cocooning bubbles to liquid togas. The finer details are exquisite: eye tricking hand work, embroidery and jewelry. To some its fashion, however i like to think of it more as an obsession.
