My French Style Icône

Je t'aime, Francoise Hardy

Today I had to do a presentation in French about French speaking singers. 

I love listening to french music even though most of time I'm only understanding half of what they're saying.

This is her most favourite song, Tous Les Garcons. 

It's about the girls and boys her age all walk around happy and cheerful, but she doesn't. Because nobody who wants or to love her.

At first you would think it's a really pleasant song, especially if you don't understand French, but deep down the beautiful light hearted singer has a deeper meaning.

She dresses so effortlessly and casual chic. I'm in absolute love with her hair; the feathered fringe, her make-up; dark black top liner cat eyed and her smile; so pretty and sincere. 

I would admit that our styles are quite similar, I can't leave my house without my eye-liner and I too have the same style of hair...

Except for the clothes, she has a much more Parisian chic than me.

 

 

 

Slightly reminds me of Alexa Chung

 

 

Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2012

Again, (luckily) in textiles I'm studying another fashion designer that I actually liked. Previously I did Givenchy Couture and Mary Katrantzou. Now, I'm doing Vivienne Westwood and Dolce & Gabbana. 

So fun and interesting!

I love it that I can talk about what really inspires me, not just constant research about different materials and fabrics and materials and fabrics and fabrics and materials and, oh yeah, more materials!

At this moment I'm doing research on how Dolce & Gabbana use ancient historical materials and designs, but creates it into a modern beauty. The meeting of romantic Baroque Italy with the 21st Century woman.

For instance opulent lace material would be used as a mini-skirt or a see-through top showing underwear underneath; but done in the most tasteful way.

Dolce & Gabbana, at their finest.
