How To Steal A Million

I've just finnished watching How To Steal a Million, with Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole. It's about the daughter of a rich man who copies art of real artists as a passion. One day he lends a statue to a museum, thinking it won't get tested. As it turns out it will, his daughter decides to steal it, using a thief that entered her house and that she stopped to do this.
Of course, you couldn't expect a movie with Audrey Hepburn without eyegasm - her clothe ! my god, her clothe !!




My favourite one is when she's at the hotel, waiting for Simon, with her lace dress and her lace mask, smoking. Chic and Classy must me synonyms for Audrey Hepburn in the dictionnary !
What's also interesting is we get a big whiff of the Audrey's 60's in our Srping 2012 collection with the lace - this time colourful, with No.21, Louis Vuitton (again!), Valentino... :


I do love to relate different times of fashion - and the 60's are definitely my favourites !

Marc Jacobs

One of my all-times favourite designers would have to be Marc Jacobs, especially after the godly collections he's presented at Louis Vuitton's house. Before I thought Louis Vuitton was only a bag's collection, and for grandmothers as it was (you know, with the LV copied again and again on the fabric.... --'). Anyways, I don't know what changed my mind, but it might have been due to Mr.Jacobs who is now one of my fahsion icons - and you have to admit, he does some beautiful job !I know we've now already moved on to the Spring 2012 RTW, but I'd like to zoom back to the Fall 2011 RTW that for my part, was an eyegasm :

I particularly appreciated the hats that we saw on nearly every model, and that were decorated either by fur, LVs and all had a little mask on its side. I remmber it hit me when I bought the latest edition of Citizen K :
If you watch closely, you can even see the handcuffs at the right of the picture, so it looks clearly inspired by Marc Jacobs runway show of the season... The shoes too are Louis Vuitton, with the little cute knots that break the sexy and high side of the shoe to make an incredible one !! Each time I see a pair of shoe I love, I promise myself they'll be the first one I'll buy when I'll have the money, but my eye always catches another one a second later, so today I'll break my rule and not swear I'll get them - even thoough I have to bite my lips...:)

Anyways, here are some pictures of my favourite pieces of Marc Jacobs Fall 2011 RTW collection :




You'll notice that I loved the plus-sized buttons that ornated almost every clothe, and the shiny coats - and, of course, the hats that I won't forget for a very, very long time !!!
