Pattern and Peach Fuzz: French Illustrator Elodie

Art | 01 May 2013

by

Our favorite illustrators? The ones who are obsessed with fashion like French illustrator Elodie Nadreau!

Known simply as Elodie, this “Parisienne” has rolled her love for fashion and talent for digitally-embellished drawings into one perfect little package of color, texture, and flirtatious line-work. Elodie’s work emits a soft and sensual ambiance with subtle layers of pattern often weaving in and out of the main subject. Favoring female portraiture Elodie is inspired by what’s happening on the runways and magazines, and I love how she imparts a stippled peach-fuzz effect over much of her work, giving the pieces a warm, almost buzzing quality.

The city of Paris has found a new muse! Model Eva Downey brings feminine fashions to life behind the camera of Asa Tallgard for Elle Romania’s April cover shoot. With a smoky eye and tousled hair, Downey brings an easy elegance and an almost regal air that truly appears effortless. The clothing features clean lines and muted colors from fabulous designers like Givenchy, Balenciaga, and Alexander McQueen, to name a few. Bold, over-sized jewelry completes this look, aptly shot in the fashionable city of Paris. J’adore! ParisParisParis FashionParis

Celebrity, Fashion | 11 April 2013

by

In the April ’13 issue of L’Officiel Paris, Lana Del Rey gets romantic  in high-fashion and haunting imagery. Shrouded beautifully in Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli, and other designers to swoon over, Del Rey plays the part of a Spanish widow in mourning, all the while looking stunning. Lana’s bold red lip is eye-catching, and there’s just something about her statement looks that make this spread so fabulous.

Fit For a Queen: Kate Moss for Vogue

Celebrity | 29 March 2012

by

Runway goddess, Kate Moss, is featured in Vogue’s April issue, where she channels a modern day Marie Antoinette in beautiful couture gowns truly fit for a queen.
Photographed by Tim Walker and styled by Grace Coddington, Kate lounges around in the luxurious Ritz Paris Hotel, decked head-to-toe in Christian Dior, Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Givenchy, Balenciaga, and Armani Prive, to name a few. 
The famous hotel plays a perfect setting for Ms. Moss’ dramatic wear and is a last hurrah of sorts before it begins an extensive two-year renovation. (It hasn’t been renovated since the 1800s!) The photos are gorgeous and would not look out of place at the Palace of Versailles!

Très chic: Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2012 Highlights

Fashion | 07 March 2012

Bonjour!

 

 
On the (high) heels of Milan, Paris Fashion Week has come to bring us fashion excellence on the runway—even in in the streets! So let’s take a look at some of our favorite styles of the week!
Balmain
Fabergé egg-style dominated the Balmain runway with embroidered patterns adorned with beautiful pearls and crystals. The pieces were intricate, but were so cool and casual!
Christian Dior
Soft and ballet-esque silk tulle skirts made up the majority of Christian Dior’s collection. Paired with super high platforms, this show was filled with showstoppers!
Jean Paul Gaultier
It was to the streets for Jean Paul Gaultier with cool graffiti adorned dresses and constructed trench coats. The model’s roots were also dyed to match their graffiti style. It was street style chic at its finest! 
Lanvin
It was all about the waist at Lanvin with body-enhancing peplums and flared skirts in bright and beautiful colors. The jewel necklaces were stunning!
Paris Street Style
Now that you’ve enjoyed what the runway has to offer, let’s take some time to appreciate the gorgeous styles in Paris’ oh-so-fashionable citizens!
 
These ladies should have their own runway built for them!
What were your favorite Parisian looks?
