Carine's back!

Back in action! Carine sat out the last ready to wear FW at Paris in order not to confuse people. Now, however, she's full fledged back! This time, however, she's a simple, ordinary client (Yeah, right), who happens to get fitted by Donatella and Jean Paul Gaultier (among others), just like everyone else... So, in collaboration with W magazine, she documented this process in a short film, entitled The Client. It's a lot of fun!!! You can watch it HERE. You should!

Here she is in the Premiere Party, in Paris.

And, here are a couple of funny stills of the video... She makes fun of her own super french accent. 

Cool people also have fun

Fashion people have the prejudice against them from most that they're just posers, that is, people who spend their lives posing for cameras. And while that might be truth most of the time, they do have their fun! A good old glamorous karaoke night, for example, like the one last night at Alexander Wang's party. I just love the pictures! They look like such a fun crowd! Specially my favorite gals, Anna dello Russo and Carine Roitfeld, rocking Wham!'s "Careless Whisper".

Way to un-lame karaoke, fashion people!!

Drumroll, please...

We know at last! The new editor in chief of Vogue Paris is none other than Emmanuelle Alt, former fashion editor for the magazine. I personally think that she's a lovely woman with a very defined personal style and, that sort of determination could prove essential in the blossoming of the magazine. She is very young (early forties) and has worked in fashion journalism all her life. She was even named fashion editor at ELLE magazine at age 20!


Most seem satisfied with this choice, however Karl Lagerfel has spoken some doubt in the matter:
“Her style is her big shoulders, long legs, tight jeans, sleeves up to the elbow, one hip out (...) I personally like her. She’s a handsome French woman. She has a style, but is it enough to make a whole magazine?”


Only time can tell weather this was a right decision, but for my part, I wish her all success in the world. I would really love to see Vogue Paris grow exponentially.
One last question remains... With her resignation to the magazine affective as of February the first, what is Carine going to do now? We'll have to wait and see!

Carine Leaves Vogue!

I was so saddened by the news. I couldn't believe when I first read it in Twitter. I thought it must be a prank. But, it's as real as her nose, she's resigned, effective in a few weeks. I'm so sad to watch her leave! She is so edgy and cool. She has such a young and daring view on fashion... and, most importantly, she's such a nice person! You don't find those as often as you'd like. Anyways, she'll be missed. All that is left now is speculation... who will replace her? My hopes go for Anna dello Russo, of course!!

Paris Fashion Week Nostalgia

I'm feeling pretty nostalgic at the moment. I miss Paris so much! Here are some pictures of the fashion weeks I attended... I'm dying to go back!
I thought I'd start chronologically, so, in this post, I'll show you some of my favorite moments of Paris Fashion Week SS 2010.

I'll show, first, the very first time I met Anna dello Russo. I remember I didn't even know who she was, but I saw her wearing this and I thought to myself: "who's that!?". After that day, I always looked for her to see what she was wearing. She always stood up from the crowd. But this is the outfit that made me notice her... and love her!... Her highness, at the end of the Gareth Pugh show:

Wearing Balmain at the entrance of Nina Ricci show:


At Belenciaga, wearing Balenciaga head to toe:



The first time I met Carine Roitfeld, my favorite editor in chief!


And another first, the first time I ever saw Anna Wintour. Granted, only briefly, but I was so starstruck! Here she is, leaving Rochas at full speed:



Me and Grace Coddington at the entrance of the Nina Ricci show:



My first backstage at Vivienne Westwood and a picture of the woman herself:





Dita Von Teese hurrying on her way to Dior.


Karlie Kloss and my friends, after Yamamoto show. She's so nice!!



Some celebrity sightseeing at Gareth Pugh. That's me and Adrien Grenier. He's so cute in person!


And that's me and model Eniko.


And finally, model legend Naomi Campbell walking for Chapurin and rushing off back to London afterwards.




I just realized there are too many pictures and memories for a single post. See you really soon with more: Viktor&Rolf and Alexander's McQueen last show!

A Mexican newspaper that has a clue!

I always thought that fashion greatest names were something strange and unfamiliar to Mexicans, except, of course, some few exceptions, such as people in the business or with a great interest on the topic. So you can imagine my surprise when El Universal, a national newspaper, featured an online article on the 3 most important fashion editors in the world: Anna Wintour, Carine Roitfeld and Anna dello Russo. I was thrilled to see that, not only did they knew who Anna dello Russo was, they considered her among the top 3! I have to say that, obviously, I agree with them! But more importantly, I love the fact that this information is made known to the general public. It's great, I think, that the work and style of fashion icons, such as Carine and Anna dello Russo, is acknowledged, even here, where they may not be so well known. Read the article here.
