Styling Inspiration from Cinema

Since this past month we’ve been in lockdown here in Paris and had an early curfew, I took the time at home to go through some of my favourite movies again and to discover some new ones. There are many films out there that offer perfect styling inspiration and I wanted to share a few of them here.

Style Inspiration: How to Dress this Spring

There are no big trends this season, with the exception of slingback pumps from Prada, everything orange, and lots cable-knit sets. For the first time in a long time, I can say that this is the season where styling comes before the trends. There is less attention on what you buy, but what you do with the pieces you buy or already have.

Style Inspiration: Sportswear Chic

I am used to feeling worthy only when I am productive, when I work a lot, and for as long I can remember, since I changed my country for the first time, all I knew was work. I love working, have never said no to job calls, and I always measured my self-worth with the amount of work I am getting done. But for a while now things have been different; after living through the first year of a pandemic, there has been a carousel of emotions and states of mind, and the work side of things has definitely not been the same ...

Style File: Betty Catroux, Muse of Yves Saint Laurent

Former Chanel model and fashion icon, Betty Catroux, was a muse to Yves Saint Laurent since 1967: “It was love at first sight—physically, I was androgynous, asexual, and it definitely affected him. Our resemblance was not only physical: we were alike morally, mentally. And what was so amazing about him is that he felt that I could be his soulmate—a kindred spirit” she once told Vogue Italia.

Style Inspiration: The Classic Trench Coat in Films

Seeing people dressed in trench coats on the streets inspires me, maybe more than other pieces of clothing, for my brain somehow always associates the silhouette with cinema scenes. There are a few great movies that showcase the classic trench and I’d like to share a few of my favourites.

Shopping List: A Few Favourite Blazers

The past few days I’ve been enjoying a slower rhythm of life: some time with friends and the empty and rainy streets of Paris. I’ve also been particularly enjoying American author, Fran Lebowitz, in the series Pretend It's a City, biographical documentary created in collaboration with filmmaker Martin Scorsese. The series captivates―not only with her wit and way with words―but with the bond between her and Scorsese, talking and laughing together on the streets of New York. And I’ve also become very fond of her style and endlessly inspired by it, especially by her choice of her blazers.

Style File: New Year’s Eve Outfit Inspiration

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.

Holiday Outfit Inspiration

EVEN AS WE SPEAK, there is talk here in the UK, that the three families from the same social bubble that are allowed to mix over what has become known as the five days of Christmas, is too risky.
