In the Forbidden City
Jason Wu brought the Forbidden City to New York and shook NYFW shows. Behind the huge red doors, Qin Dynasty’s soldiers were only waiting to get out.
Here they come ! Kun-fu fighting ! They hurt my eyes. I was blown away. Imperial !

Paco Rabanne X Hediard
When I heard that Manish Arora took the lead of Paco Rabanne, I was looking forward to discovering the return of the house, his work of bright colors mixed with the futuristic side. And about this collection, i said woww. The first thing that came to my mind, Paco Rabanne is at last at the lime light. And the second thing, Lady Gaga would make an order. I was not wrong. She wore a total look at...

Kenzo F/W 12
Don’t need a passport or a visa for that next fall by Kenzo. Not savannah, not either desert. A few feet underground, a Metro ride in Paris. A collection less ethnic but still colorful and pop. Metro and Roms don’t always go together.

Birds of paradise Givenchy S/S 12
Winter is so quite here in Paris. I heard in NY, it feels like Alaska. Oh I wish it was summer already…
themandariin would be just around the corner and we’d go down on Houston Street, heading to another style battle in the Village. With those banging Givenchy shorts from S/S 12. Way to fashionably rock the oversized basketball shorts. Let’s hit the court. Birds of paradise prints, Ricardo...

Merci Merci !
There are some places where it feels too good to spend your money… to be avoid ! Here’s an example with Merci, an incredible concept store dedicated to fashion and houseware. Funny objects and some others more odd. Designers labels like Isabel Marant, Marni or Yves Saint Laurent, colorful tableware, library and the best, a café ! Located in one of my favorite area in Paris,...

Dior Homme routine
On my journey around the world looking for my hangers, I come upon the most random collections ever. And tonight the winner is… “Mr. I collect any dior cremes I can”. My buddy Julien invited me over for dinner (dinner as in last-minute thai takeout… I’m just saying…). Being the polite and clean gentleman, I hit the bathroom to wash my hands… and found myself facing a whole Dior...

Dear Santa
I was very nice this year ! I didn’t spend all my wage at Colette, I laughed very kindly at fashionistas, I prayed every night mother Anna Wintour, I wriggled on Pitbull.
Anyways, as you can see, I acted as a fashionista example.
So, dear Santa, I’m sending my wishlist hoping that you’ll receive this letter in time, in the depths of Lappland :
- a softdrink with John...

Paris - Bombay
Karl Lagerfeld is continuing his journey for Chanel Métiers d’Art Pre-Fall 2012. This season, en route to Bombay. Regular at the Grand Palais, the master invited us to a magnificent banquet in the colors of India. Nothing to compare with indian canteens around Gare de l’Est. Silverware sublime, exotic fruits, colored pastries… Completely distracted, I could almost forget the...

Love of Siam
I have been thinking, how will you make it from now on ? But I believe so much, that you can make it without me. Even though, sometimes, it seems to be too much that we end up hurting each other. But i believe as time goes by, we would all agree that there is no such thing as “too much love”.
Even if we made mistakes along the way, it’s better than never having tried to...

En route to Normandie
Last week, I took a day off to escape the drabness of Paris, and here I am, out for a breath of sea air, en route to la Normandie. Escaping in the middle of the week, off-season is really a privileged feeling that I love. We arrived safely and I had only one desire, have lunch ! A lot of options, no wait. And properly installed under the outdoor heater, eating was the only thing on my mind....

Karl and Chanel on Xmas tour around the world at...
A year ago, I was behind the windows of Printemps for the inauguration of “Noel au Château” starring Alber Elbaz for Lanvin. I couldn’t get a word of what they were telling me on the walkie-talkie. “Number 3: Go for the horses, number 12: window #2 is still off, I repeat window #2 is still off…”. And when the curtains opened, I was watching them all, eyes...

WatchJ’ai encore rêvé d’Hermès
In “Ever so softly”, Hermès showcases its collection of scarves on the rythm of J’ai encore rêvé d’elle, a super kitsch french song. A hit in the 70’s, the track is very misleading. Don’t be fooled by its sweet melody, the lyrics are rather naughty.

An afternoon with Marie-Antoinette
People go to Versailles to admire the Palace, the “Galerie des glaces” and the king’s bed. Me, I’m more like Marie-Antoinette. Elegant and stylish. And she created her own personal area within the huge park of Versailles.
Romantic, peaceful, I like hanging out there with my significant other. Playing hide and seek, just like the Queen would do with her Madames. Put on your...
