As the Pommery Champagne flowed, I tried vainly to persuade Aruna to let me have her shoes. Every time she moved the 3000 Swarovski crystals twinkled, magical indeed.

Confessions of a Dior Addict

christian dior 3 00650h 2010 01 25 20 59 25 1689594 base 2 Confessions of a Dior Addict

Dior Addict

Head first, I strode one of the most architecturally fashionable squares of the world. Almost instantly the black sign informed me where I was: Avenue Monte Carlo, If my classically clad feet had pursued further I would be venturing (according to the sign) into the land of Gucci, Valentino, Hermes, Lalique and Prada. But no, I have always been a Dior girl at heart, my visit this time would not be passed scanning the elegant ensembles, it would be however with me being seated on a shiny gold stool, and my lips being outlined and filled with every shade of red that Dior has launched for this Autumn Winter.

Roksander Ilincic

The Store in the Fonteivielle is surrounded by chandeliers and marble flooring, and the make up stylists are wearing head to toe Dior.

I was seated, rather advantageously opposite the Blumarine store with its coming and goings of the French Riviera Chic. The stylist informed that the red lip was the couleur the rigueur for the coming season, its true of course it was the main lip stain from Chanel to Roksanda Ilincic.

Chanel

Personally I don’t think there has ever been a better season to wear the shade, It blends in perfectly with the Ladylike and the Minimal look, Those Louis Vuitton Skirts and Stella McCartney pared down separates are all canvases for a bit of rouge. So we start off with a careful selection of every product, I am thus presented with Dior Addict, after a professionally swift colour consultation the stylist presents me with a shade to try on.

Donna Karan

The process is luxury within itself, with a reapplied base, and eyes, I allow myself to dream of the alluring result, “ah c’est parfait!”adds the stylist as she graciously holds the mirror for me to look. The result needless to say was fabulous, my lips smiled back an ecstatic “merci” and rather English “it’s exactly what I wanted”.

Just Cavalli Red Lips

It was so perfect and sophisticated a match that I didn’t feel compelled to remove it, before hitting the Monaco promenade. And that’s exactly what I did, my best fashion foot forward and my Technicolor Red lippy safe within my clutch I strolled down Promenade des Champions basking in the knowledge that I was modelling the very best of French style and like everything French  I wasn’t overdone, I was chic.

Mens Style To Impress : What to Wear Now

Etro AW2010 Mens Style To Impress : What to Wear Now

I love styling men, there are so many fantastic clothes out there. Men should wear great colours that suit them, cool designs and expensive shoes. I like Etro for shirts, jackets and coats. This is a great easy coat to wear for Autumn days.

Zegna AW2010 Mens Style To Impress : What to Wear Now

Leather is hot for this Autumn. Zegna make great suits for a classic fit, and this season check out the leather shearling jackets. Prada, D and G, Etro, Armani all have versions. This jacket and chunky polo neck will make you look broader, taller and is very sexy.

Lanvin AW2010.jpg Mens Jackets Mens Style To Impress : What to Wear Now

Lanvin rocks! Each season visit for cool jackets, fabulous suits and uber stylish ties.If you have not yet been to Savile Row this season is the time to go.

Cheap shoes will drive women away trust me. The number of conversations women have about tasteless shoes would be a revelation to men. Several of my friends have rejected advances purely because of shoes! Prada make fantastic trainers and loafers. Alexander McQueen does a privately ordered range at Harrods. Cheap shoes cheapen the whole outfit. Buy less and buy good. For work shoes Church’s and Prada make nice shoes that if you are typical of the men I know will last for 10 years or more. Cost per wear becomes negligible. Women’s shoes cost far more and last about 6 months!

Prada AW2010 Mens Style To Impress : What to Wear Now

Also at Prada this season is lovely wearable autumnal colours. Combine a blue shirt with a soft brown jumper and jacket for effortless style. The jumper in the shops is longer!

D and G Mens Style To Impress : What to Wear Now

Cashmere jumpers are lovely, and there are great colours out there for men, Dunhill, Aquascutum, with their new design team, Armani and Ralph Lauren all make fantastic designs. They are seriously nice to wear and soft to the touch- cuddly. Try the ones styled with a collar like a long sleeve polo shirt. Also hitting the shops are ski jumpers this is seriously nice from D and G.

Mens styling for very tall men is harder, there are many men out there over 6’4”, it has taken me ages to source clothes for them. High and Mighty is a good source but the suit quality and selection for slim men is poor. I suggest their Ralph Lauren range and to go elsewhere for bespoke tailoring for suits and shirts. The Italian suit maker Sartoria is great and reasonably priced. Segun Adelaja has clothes to dream about. Very elegant and sophisticated, classic with a twist. Timothy Everest, does a range at Marks and Spencers.

Ties again should be expensive, forget  polyester, big spots or “funny”ties go for silk. Buy Hermes, Lanvin, Salvatore Ferragamo, to instantly upgrade your look under £100.

Gabrielle Teare is the leading London Personal Stylist http://www.gabrielleteare.com  Alexa ranked No 1 Global. Gabrielle has tly provided style and fashion consultancy and Editorial to Disney for 2 films. Confessions of a Shopaholic, and Tinkerbell.

It contains Kaolin to absorb oil, glycerine to hydrate and mositurise and tocopherol a vitamin E form to hydrate and provide antioxidants.

Diary of a Fashion Intern at the Paris Pre Collections

DSCN1343 21 271x600 Diary of a Fashion Intern at the Paris Pre Collections

My name is Ella, I am 19 years old and I have made it my mission to break into the exciting world of fashion. For the past month I have been working in Paris for an up-and-coming designer brand called BaronBaronne. My stay (not entirely unintentionally) coincided with Paris Pre-collection fashion week so I was lucky enough to have my first real experience working in the Industry not only in the style capital of Paris but also during one of the most important times in the fashion calendar. Here is the low-down on what I did, saw, learnt and wore during my Parisian intern experience.

DSCN1576 2 279x600 Diary of a Fashion Intern at the Paris Pre Collections

Naturally I was hell-bent on making a good first impression on the designers for whom I’d be working, so a fair bit of time and effort went into choosing the perfect outfit. My role of inviting the buyers from top boutiques and department stores all over the world to the showroom, and then persuading them to actually come, did make me a little nervous. I did find the time to browse the look books, mood boards, sketches, samples, and shoots for their past collections. The sheer amount of time, effort, money and emotion that goes into producing a collection is unbelievable. I have also come to the conclusion that being a fashion buyer would probably be the best career a girl could dream of. There are the obvious perks of the job, such as attending all the most desirable fashion shows, shmoozing at glamorous after-parties, and generally getting paid to select the choicest pieces from the most covetable collections each season.

DSCN1615 2 660x495 Diary of a Fashion Intern at the Paris Pre Collections

Juan Antonio Avalos Barcelona

Week 2 I got on the case of Matches, Browns, Feathers, Dover Street Market etc. Basically anywhere I thought might be interested in a little injection of French avant-guard style. Then on the first day of the precollections we arrived bright and early at Galerie Cadain, a lovely, spacious venue in the 4th arrondisement. A few hours of unpacking, steaming, and general organising later the gallery looked magnificent.

DSCN1946 660x495 Diary of a Fashion Intern at the Paris Pre Collections

I was frantic waiting  for the bags, at last  they arrived a casual 4 hours late… but with their classic shapes, tasteful buckle detailing and buttery soft leather they were oh-so worth the wait. I also often had to wait for no- show buyers,a lesson in optimism over realism.

Baron Baronne

Finally fashion week and my days as an intern for BaronBaronne came to an end. I have learnt more about the fashion industry (not all of it too pretty) than I would have thought possible and fallen head-over-heels in love with the city… watch this space for future tales of my Parisian fashion adventures.  ella-lapetiteanglaise.blogspot.com
