On second thought, maybe you shouldn't ask... To make all you shoe fanatics jealous, I had the distinct pleasure of attending two major shoe events in the same day-

Paris Fashion Week: Aganovich Spring / Summer 2010

London Meets Paris: The odd mannequins and use of sculpture surrounding them gave the showing of the collection another dimension somewhere in between art and fashion. The Aganovich Spring / Summer 2010 Collection was artfully shown at a contemporary gallery in the trendy Marais section of Paris. What I love about the collection is the thoughtfulness and intelligence that went into each garment. A mix of fabrics such as pique and linen, and linen and satin are so smart and wearable. Looking closely I could see how well tailored every piece was and how the draping flowed so seamlessly. The presentation using odd mannequins and use of sculpture surrounding them gave the showing of the collection another dimension somewhere in

How to Be a Chic Parisianista Tip #2: Wear Nice Underwear

“I don’t always wear underwear. When I’m in the heat, especially, I can’t wear it. Like, if I’m wearing a flower dress, why do I have to wear underwear?” --Naomi Campbell, supermodel. The How To Be A Chic Parisianista Series | 7 Steps to French Chic Maybe not wearing underwear with flower dresses in the heat is an English thing, but the French seem to have the opposite approach: wear it come rain or shine, hot or cold – no questions asked. Definitely wear it appreciatively, discreetly (not on the outside displayed for everyone!), beautifully, and above all - confidently. After all, you never know when you’re going to flash a French dad at the school fair like La Mom

Tinko’s Take: Anouk’s Style Diary Rio to Paris

Inspiration Girl | Globe-trekking style muse… Anouk is 22, from Rio de Janeiro, lives in Paris now.She studies fashion and works as a photography assistant. Her style is very eclectic, sometimes mixing her grandmother’s mink fur with latex punk boots, or Minnie Mouse ears with rock band T-shirts. She’ll wear a skirt pulled up to arm level, held with a leather belt. Her bracelets can be a mix of a pearl necklace with some concert fluorescent tag, and other oddities she can put her hands on. –Tinko Czetwertynski
