Two days ago here in France was la rentrée. I say it every year—for me September is the New Year. After a month of leisure, dreaming and relaxing, it’s time to set new goals, begin new things, learn a new language (currently learning Portuguese), perfect timing to refresh the wardrobe.
AT EVERY SUMMER'S END, we feature a round-up of the last of the summer whites. It's a wistfully beautiful compilation of all the things we love best -- ruffled white dresses with wicker, and boat rides and bicycle rides and sun-drenched terraces; waves crashing on sandy beaches, museums and French cafés, wide straw hats and belted linen dresses, top knots and golden skin, and that perfect lackadaisical late-summer vibe...
Here in France it’s the beginning of The Sales Month, which is actually like two-months long, and it’s a tempting time with new sales articles appearing everyday.
The 71st annual Cannes Film Festival was recently held from the 8th to 19th of May 2018. It's one of the most glamorous events of the year and we always look forward to the montée des marches on the tapis rouge. Two years ago, Victoria featured The Best Vintage Cannes Fashion Moments of All Time and last year, Victoria's Secret model Elsa Hosk's red carpet look was stunning, she dedicated an entire article to it. This year, Elsa does it again with a stunning blush silk gown by Alberta Ferretti, and we're also including two other looks we loved: Kendall Jenner in a gauzy Schiaparelli, and Bella Hadid in a pink strapless custom-made gown by Dior.
Anne-Laure Mais is like your fun, effortlessly chic French best friend. The fashion editor, based between Paris and London, has been running her fashion blog, Adenorah, since 2009. Born in Biarritz in the south of France (or the 'French California' as she puts it), Mais is not Parisian, so her look is far more casual. We adore her decidedly seventies vibe both in her Parisian apartment and her style, which includes high-waisted flares and brown velvet blazers, vintage denim and easy knits, and a beret from time to time for good measure ...
BEATRICE GUTU is this week's Girl Crush. With a background in graphic design, the diminutive fashionista, along with creative partner/photographer Eugeniu Gorceag run The Fashion Cuisine ...
It's the first day of spring and there are pink blossoms on the trees, but there's still a little crispness hanging in the air, so our Spring Shopping Edit includes a chic alpaca-wool belted coated and the season's favourite little white kitten heel ankle boot, lacy underthings and the most romantic, seaside-inspired pair of gold coral drop earrings ...
ONE OF THE fashion world’s most beautiful and enduring platonic love stories was almost never to be. As the story goes, in 1953, while filming Sabrina, Audrey Hepburn paid a visit to French couturier Hubert de Givenchy's studio in Paris to discuss the possibility of his designing the dresses for the film.
EVERY SO OFTEN, and especially in between the changing of the seasons, we take stalk of what's been having in fashion for the past few months to get a sense of what's to come in the next few months, gathering our favourite style inspiration looks along the way.
