Brad Pitt for Chanel
There you are - clip by Chanel
Brad Pitt for N°5...Sure we are in a new area, sure things change and evolve, but this is N°5 we're talking about! And from where I'm looking Mr Pitt has trouble getting in touch with his feminin side. Even being the damn good actor he is, it's impossible to incarnate the seductive femal spirit of N°5. Sure he is very charismatic, no argument about that, but the N°5 lineage is made of female icons such as mademoiselle Chanel herself, Marilyn Monroe, Catherine Deneuve, Carole Bouquet etc. So, sorry Mr Pitt, it takes a woman to do this job, cause N°5 was, is and will always be inévitable a woman's thing!

Fendi's Baguettemania
Fendi fêtes the 15th anniversary of their iconic Baguette, created by Silvia Venturini Fendi in 1997. Of course there already was a very fashionable party, a fashionable book, pop-ups in the leading concept stores and now an online pop-up boutique.
For those who are not familiar with the Baguette, here's a little clue: We all remember the SATC scene in which Carrie Bradshaw gets mugged. When the mugger demands her to hand over her bag, she goes "It's not a bag, it's a baguette!" (SATC episode 47, season 3). And just like that miss Bradsaw created a Fashion Frenzy for the Fendi Baguette.

Expo: Cristóbal Balenciaga + Rei Kawakubo
Culture and expositions are always on my agenda, so I was happy to see this one on two of thé biggest, influential people in Fashion; Cristóbal Balenciaga and Rei Kawakubo.
The exposition is part of the program Hors les Murs, by the Galleira Museum of Paris. It's small but nevertheless interesting.
Cristóbal Balenciaga, Collectioneur de modes
Payes homage to the magnificent Cristóbal Balenciaga (Januari 21, 1895 - March 23, 1972), shows pieces donated to the museum Galeira by the couturier's family and is curated in collaboration with The House of Balenciaga. Exquisite items and clothes dating from the 18th, 19th and 20st century plus Haute Couture from 1937-1968.
here's a glimpse
Ladies & gents, if you are in Paris or you will be in Paris this weekend, I give you three good reasons to go see the work of these two masters:
1. If you know fashion then you know why
2. If you don't know fashion then you get to see that these are not just clothes
3. the exposition ends this Sunday Oct. 7, 2012
And the museum is located on the boarder of the Seine, that's a free bonus.

COMME des GARCONS, White Drama
Is an installation, installed by Rei Kawakubo herself, showing the complete COMME des GARCONS Spring 2012 runway collection. White drama captures four stages in life; birth, marriage, death, transcendance. A glimpse of Rei Kawakubo's Universe, dramatic but spiritual.

Saint Laurent
One of the highly anticipated shows during this Paris Fashion Week was Saint Laurent by Hedi Slimane. At the helm of the house he started by re-naming the brand Saint Laurent. So, for shure we did not expact he would stop there, no! Hedi Slimane took original YvesSaintLaurent ingredients like; le smoking, la saharienne, the caftan, mousseline, bows, mixed these up into his own recipe and the result is a dark, edgy, rock & roll collection. So it's sure that Hedi Slimane will be dressing a new Saint Laurent woman; younger, cooler, androgynous. I've always been a YvesSaintLaurent devotee, so for my personal wardrobe I'll keep on stroling for vintage and pieces from former YSL collections.

Fashion meets Art @ Louis Vuitton
When designer Marc Jacobs and artist Daniël Buren collaborates, this is what sprouds from it.

| Les Deux Plateaux by Daniël Buren =     
The models really look like Buren sculptures in Jacobs' clothes. A perfect example of Fashion meets Art. Superb!
