Caroline de Maigret becomes a Chanel ambassador

July 5, 2016 By admin

French model, writer and music producer Caroline de Maigret is moving from being a Chanel muse to being the fashion house's latest global ambassador. According to Chanel, whose creative director Karl Lagerfeld is a long-term admirer, de Maigret's effortless style, assertive personality and socially engaged approach to life perfectly embody the brand's values. Caroline de Maigret and Lagerfeld met in the early 1990s and she quickly became a muse but her first catwalk show for Chanel didn't arrive until 1999 when she modeled the Spring/Summer ready-to-wear collection.

Dior tough guys hot on Paris catwalk

June 25, 2016 By creative

Dior, the French fashion house known for the dreamy beauty of its clothes, showed a new much tougher side in its Paris menswear show Saturday. It's wasn't quite skinhead chic but it wasn't far from it with every trope in the punk wardrobe from string vests to dangling trouser braces referenced, invariably set off by big Dr Marten-style boots. Dark, moody and menacing, there was even something slightly S&M in the way that Dior's Belgium-born designer Kris Van Assche managed to turn the braces into chest armour-cum-jewellery.
