[ I see CRYSTAL CLEAR ]

Lately the transparent trend seems to grow, slowly but can't go unnoticed anymore... remember the 3.1 PHILIPP LIM oversized vinyl clutch, the ERDEM perspex heel pumps or the DRIES VAN NOTEN Perspex heel booties?
Even Karl Lagerfeld seems to be hooked on clear accessories ...at the CHANEL Cruise presentation in Versailles, he styled his models with plastic cross-body bags and matching cuff bracelets, while on the Chanel Fall runway the models were wearing see-trough cylinder heel pumps.

[ françoise hardy - AN ICON ]

FRANCOISE HARDY is a true icon to me...  and has the face & voice of an angel! 

A French singer who perfectly embodied the sultry, melancholy and reserved femme fatale. She influenced the fashion of her time, inspiring Balenciaga RTW Collection in 2005 (click here).

"I am not comfortable with my professional life really, so the word 'icon'- it's as though you were talking about someone else, it's not me really...I feel happy when I'm on my bed, in my room with a good book."  

To me, she is still the most beautiful girl in the world! 

[ mini TATOOS ]
