Couture dreams in Numero China 2010
On a rainy day: Intimes sensations by Paolo Roversi
Beautiful sensuality captured by Paolo Roversi for Vogue Paris. A sweet Parisienne in a middle of autumn. Gorgeous cosy and chunky Pringle of Scotland, Marithé + François Girbaud and MaxMara knits, classic Isabel Marant coat, a silk barely there Galliano dress and satin Lanvin slip, all topped up with an Hermes fedora. I just want to be this girl… Or have all these clothes…
And in a sort of clothes-related P.S. … Have you left your details for a chance to shop a super not-to-be-missed secret Christian Louboutin sale yet? Follow the link and try your luck – apparently, the invite will find its way to your inbox if you get picked… You are welcome.

Couture now in Elle US October 2003
Sparkling couture steps out as daywear on pages of the October issue of US Elle 2003. Givenchy, Lacroix, Gaultier, Dior and Versace mixed with classic Burberry trench, Levi’s jeans and Manolos. The beautiful stranger is Maja Latinovic photographed by Gilles Bensimon.
P.S. Have you noticed that a classic Burberry coat only costs $525? In other words a price of two sleeves of its younger counterpart. Wish I thought of investment pieces back then…

That very special Vogue 1999 editorial
I trust you enjoyed yesterday’s treat video. I certainly did. Being true to myself I then went through my files to find the couture editorial mentioned in the story. I had to – it was too beautiful not to publish. That photo of Kate in dreamy white Chanel Haute Couture gown that made her look like an Angel has always been a favourite of mine, while the black and white portrait featuring beautiful head piece / earrings created by Galliano for Dior Couture make me think of a very similar piece designed by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy Spring/Summer 2012 Haute Couture collection (and then used in Dalhia Noir campaign). But enough talking – enjoy the photos.
