This is the story. When we fall back into childhood everything comes out, remembrance materializes and takes the rooted shape of symbols equally superficial and important for the future. Yazbukey’s enchanted roundabout has taken in its memory the souvenir of a Paris when her father ambassador took along mother and daughters in the capital of pleasure and luxury. It’s a stopover to Paris, in a fantasy city with the sweetened colors of An American in Paris by Vincente Minnelli. A 3D postcard of the life of a little girl with great big souvenirs! And everything is mixed ! Here’s the list: Daddy’s diplomatic pouch, chocolate chunks crunched during a picnic in Vincennes, soap bubbles in the golden bath of a four star hotel, Vogue magazine laid on the pale pink tweed divan, stamps-Ah! Not to forget, letters to send to granny. The wonderful moments when the parents were receiving guests at the Turkish Embassy, the champagne flutes, the cigars brought back from a trip in Cuba, a fashion face, Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel’s 80’s period etc. Clichéd images of a reception of “Monsieur l’Ambassadeur ». An advertisement that entertained the little girls: Ferrero Rocher. In that golden descent towards childhood, real-life truth can merge into a distorted time-line to embellish the elusiveness of a given moment. Never mind. Just like the Plexiglas jewelry which diffuses the fragrances of a past happiness. But the souvenir box is reopened. Yazbukey’s creations haven’t forgotten anything of that life. Stardust memories.

“Forget me not” is a series of Art mode digital prints on scarves and turban, all 100% silk. As an extension of the coco’s work as an illustrator, all designs are based exclusively on personal compositions and all elements have been hand-drawn by her. Coco was commissionned for magazines such as Vogue, Nylon, ELLE, and Muse as well as a number of corporate clients: K Karl Lagerfeld, Evian Cosmetics and Addition Adelaide in Japan. It was this rapid success that convinced Coco to set up Forget Me Not, a line of exquisitely hand-rendered, digitally printed scarves. It is a small collection, always of three original design themes in two separate colour waves, which encapsulates the essence of feminine beauty, balancing ethereal imaginary worlds and delicate penmanship against strong geographic patterns and a rich palate of colours.

The collection is available in a selection of Luxury Stores around the world : Barneys (USA), Boon the shop (Korea), Cochinechine (London) Colette (Paris), Club designer (Taiwan), Fenwick ( London ), Jean Brown ( Australia ), Lane Crawford ( Hong kong ) Storm (Copenhagen), Tea Rose ( Italy ) and More

This summer Shu Uemura loves pink, so the Japanese make-up brand is bringing us its new Pink Collection.
This features Rouge Unlimited and Gloss Unlimited in nine tones, made with an innovative pink pigment that creates the purest of pink shades.

The new Topshop collection designed by Kate Moss. The line continues to reflect the model’s bohemian, chic style – and she stars in this fantastic ad campaign photographed by Mert and Marcus.

The collection ranges from a folk inspiration to tea dresses, snakeskin print trousers and little black dresses studded with stones. The aim was to infuse the line with a rock n roll feel, and to continue including fantastic prints from Liberty´s vintage archives, which were reinterpreted by Kate herself.

This season´s iconic dresses include Lilabell, which was created in honour of Kates daughter, and camisole dresses, her personal favourite. Take a look at the collection…

We just received the cute look book of Sandrina Fasoli. She forms a creative duet with Michael Marson. Both graduated from the École nationale des Arts Visuels de la Cambre, Sandrina and Michael have their own vision of fashion: a very special approach based on unveiled femininity and melancholic innocence.
Creative and visual, this approach enables Sandrina and Michael to explore the world of women by experimenting with different materials, by changing the function of clothes and boldly using the concept of pretence. This very vision of femininity will bring national and international professional recognition and press coverage to the fashion duet (Grand Prix at the International Festival of Fashion Arts at Hyères, in 2003; Weekend Fashion Award, Modo Bruxellae Prize 2006; Mango Fashion Awards’ finalist). Motivated by this professional recognition, they will pursue their creative quest over the seasons and present several collections and projects building up a signature style and a poetic and nostalgic mood. Their first collection was a hit in Japan and Korea and the new collection 2007 is now available in Brussels, Paris, as well as in Japan and the USA.
