During the last Paris fashion week F/W 2010 (from March, 3rd to March, 10th 2010) we went to meet fashion addicts outside shows and we asked them what was their general style, how they had made up their outfit of the day and what was the key element of they look.
We gathered the most popular look of the moment on one video; do mind a trend for Sarwels and coloured shoes.
And, on another video, students who were already making up their own personnal and very interesting style.

Coming this month is a special edition book about fashion “enfant extraordinaire” the Belgian born fashion designer Olivier Theyskens. Published by Assouline, this book is a wonderful photography essay by Julien Claessens, accompanied with a text by Sally Singer, the fashion news and features director for the US edition of Vogue.
“When he was twenty, Olivier Theyskens dropped out of design school to create his first collection. Within the next year, Women’s Wear Daily headlined his “Star Quality,” Harper’s Bazaar christened him an “Instant Icon,” and The New York Times singled out his work in coverage of the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute, where it was already enshrined. That Winter, Madonna wore Theyskens to the Oscars.
In the decade since, he has lent his power to two international brands, “restoring the fortunes,” as Vogue put it, of the house of Rochas, and then moving on to Nina Ricci as artistic director. His work has appeared on the cover of French, British, and American Vogue worn by Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman, among other stars. Even the most casually fashion conscious consumers know his name, his striking face, and his dark, soft, and often-flattering aesthetic.
In this special edition book, photographer Julien Claessens looks back at his whirlwind career thus far. Claessens, who was given unprecedented backstage access to Theyskens’ fashion shows, beautifully captures the designer’s romantic and mysterious oeuvre.
Julien Claessens was born 1974 in Auvergne, France. At the age of 21, he left his hometown, abandoning his art history studies, to enroll at the art academy Ecole Nationale Superieur des Arts Visuels de la Cambre in Brussels He graduated with a degree in Photography in 2000.
Julien’s passion for people led him to the world of fashion. His groundbreaking, original work opened doors to famed Parisian houses Nina Ricci and Chanel Parfums Beauté. Despite his increasingly high-profile assignments, portrait art remains his true love. ”

For the lingerie brand Princesse Tam-Tam, autumn-winter 2009/10 will be fresh and cheerful. To photograph its collection, Princesse Tam-Tam has called on fashion photographer Solve Sundsbo.
A Norwegian photographer accustomed to fashion magazines, Solve Sundsbo has brought a breath of fresh air to the winter collections of the lingerie label. The theme is ‘Warhol me!’, which highlights colour and the customization of the range.
Taken in wide angle, the images play with the natural and the sophisticated with models who appear to be frozen in their scene. Otherwise features are left to speak for themselves: bright colours, surprising leopard prints and lace.
