ON FRIDAY, March 31, 2022, French fashion & portrait photographer Patrick Demarchelier passed away in St. Barths of cancer. He was 78. Patrick Demarchelier was born in 1943 in Le Havre, a major port in northern France's Normandy region. As the story goes, he got his start in photography when his stepfather gave him his first Kodak camera on his 17th birthday. He became enchanted with photography, taking pictures of friends and weddings and learning how to retouch negatives and develop film
P normally cooks at our place because he's actually really good (for one of our first dates, he made Shrimp Vol-au-Vent to start), but every once in a while, I come across a recipe that I'd like to try.

The end of this year is finding me between two moods: on one side I don’t feel the urge to do something different and on the other, I would get ready at the last minute to go somewhere, anywhere for a party. But as this year demands social distancing, realistically, I am not going to pull any last-minute styling tricks.
There are myriad trends for this autumn: extravagant volume; ballooning sleeves; cardigans worn with everything; seventies-hued denim; trouser suits and pencil skirts; check tights; skirts, coats, and headscarves where checks were worn altogether such as at Burberry; wild fringes on coats, bags and dresses; and so on ...
SEPTEMBER IS THE FASHION INDUSTRY'S NEW YEAR. The start of autumn means reinventing your wardrobe to be the woman you've always wanted to be, whether it's finally succumbing to French girl style, or buying your first leather trousers for a femme fatale look. Fall campaigns — much like fashion editorials — are a reflection of their time, pointing to the zeitgeist of the moment as much as articles or features. The mood for this autumn? Well, it's a positive one, simply look at Missoni's colourful campaign, or the promising new look of DVF under Jonathan Saunders; and an imaginative one, cue Gucci's 60s sci-fi campaign complete with extra-terrestrial creatures and dinosaurs. So, whoever you want to be this fall, make it a stand-out.
If you loved the Saint Laurent Fall 2017 RTW collection, you will adore this one, for the Isabel Marant Fall 2017 Ready-to-Wear collection has the same rock n' roll vibe, but with a little more feminine refinement typical of the designer. There were ’90s supermodels Amber Valletta and Carolyn Murphy, and '80's statement pieces (think oversized earrings, metallic finishes and rhinestones), and pretty ensembles consisting of ruffly silver tops paired with crystal-encrusted denim. There were big-shouldered blazers cinched with wide leather belts and paired with glittery shoes, ruffly mini skirts with super-tall over-the-knee boots and an altogether perfect wearability in a collection tinged with a little sexiness for good measure.
