DANIELA IS GOING TO Provence on holiday in August, a time when it is typically hot in the south of France. She's excited for the trip, but does not do well in the heat and does not wear dresses, and asked for advice on what to wear? The first piece of advice would be to keep to natural, breathable fabrics such as cottons and linens. Loose-fitting linen pants with white cotton or linen blouses (this scallop collar linen shirt is perfect) and singlets look chic while still keeping things cool. Here is some style inspiration that includes pleated trousers and ruffly blouses, city shorts and more...
The app that once began with an array of artfully arranged lattes and avocado toasts shifted, for a while, its attention to promoting millennial influencers with a mastery of DSLR cameras and photo presets. This app, however, has still (amongst its one billion monthly users) creative minds that use it to express their creativity and poetry with those seeking beautiful visuals.
OUT OF ALL THE RECENT trends we've seen lately, from silk to (white) pantsuits to silk scarves, our favourite would have to be the chain belt. Appearing as early as 1922, the chain belt is most associated with the 1990's, when it was made popular by Chanel. And since the 90's themselves are having a moment, it's no surprise that this trend has made a resurgence. Whether made of medallions or coins, interlocking circles, pearls, flowers and even starfish, chain belts are a chic way to finish off any outfit, from jumpers to blue jeans and everything in between... (including swimsuits).
IT'S JUNE AND SOON to be our favourite season of all, and there is nothing but sun, sand and sea on our minds. Whether breakfast overlooking the sea or a sea room view with the windows flung open, sunbathing on pebbled beaches or lounging beneath striped and brightly-coloured parasols, from Positano to the Almafi Coast to Mykonos and Los Angeles, here are a few breathtaking images of summertime inspiration that will make you dream...
Little have I thought about styling and fashion these past few weeks, as my mind is wandering to sunny places, near the sea always, in the mood for watching sunsets, looking at the works of Picasso, Matisse, Duchamp and Miró.
TELL ME A SECRET. In the abstract, it’s an awful request. It suggests that the asked has a repository of secrets to reveal at any time if the feeling is right; that the asker deserves to be told one or any of these secrets; that the revelation of the asked’s secret wouldn’t constitute a betrayal of some third party...
PARIS - We've featured our share of Paris apartments here at TIG, as well beautiful interiors found on Instgram. This Haussmannian fits into both categories. L’Appartement La Fayette, as it is known, is Canadian Jackie Kai Ellis' latest project, a space she bought in the winter of 2017.
There is a restaurant in the 8th arrondissement in Paris, Noto, that I always wanted to tell you about. Haven’t had the chance to try it yet, but I really want to go, as I recently visited the small town of the same name, in Sicily, a polished city with beautiful palaces.
SPRING'S CHICEST look by far is the trouser or pant suit, and our favourite iteration of the trend is in always-elegant all white. Whether in linen or satin, white strappy sandals or chunky trainers, it's a look that is crisp yet relaxed and can go from office to weekend effortlessly.
The utility or boiler suit is one spring trend that I am willing to give a try this year. Whether you follow trends or not, this one is timeless and works with everything, on every occasion―depending, of course, on the style and fabric of the piece you have. You can choose one in denim or you can choose leather, cotton, linen, or lurex, etc.―all of these options being easy to style.
HAVE BEEN SEARCHING for a skinny jeans (or denim in general) alternative for some time now, and just like that, a new spring trend has arrived just time.
CHICAGO - Even though have been curbing social media use as much as possible as per this year's New Year's Resolutions, it is still a part of my work, and happily there are still some lovely and inspiring things to be found from time to time. Such was the utterly stunning home of Chicago-based artist, designer and tastemaker Josh Young.
The historic luxury hotel, located at the foot of the Champs-Élysées, opened in 1909 in a building that dates back to 1758. The Crillon is one of two identical stone palaces on the Place de la Concorde and has been listed since 1900 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture. Today it is a grand space with 78 guest rooms and 46 suites, along with three restaurants, a bar, outdoor terrace, gym and health club.
New York Fashion Week came and went with little fanfare. This time around, there seemed to be a lack of enthusiasm for the affair.
Vanessa Friedman, the Fashion Director and Chief Fashion Critic for The New York Times expressed a similar sentiment in the article, “Marc Jacobs and the Ghosts of Fashion Past and Future.”
The article suggests a somber tone during fashion week. Friedman points out that it seemed to suffer from an identity crisis partially as a result from the loss of influence that New York designers once had over the fashion world.
