Fashion Icon: Clémence Poésy

2009-02-01T10:55:00.012+01:00

Born Clémence Guichard in Meudon (November 30, 1982), France, the daughter of Étienne Guichard (theatre director and actor) and a French teacher mother, Poésy took her mother's maiden name as her stage name. Her father gave Poésy her first acting job when she was 14; she had two lines. She has a younger sister, Maëlle, who is also an actress.
Since leaving La Source, the bilingual and alternative school she attended, at the age of 16, she has studied drama at CNSAD, the Atelier International de Blanche Salant et Paul Weavor, and the university of Nanterre, and appeared in a number of French film, television, and stage roles. Her first English-speaking role was in the BBC mini-series Gunpowder, Treason & Plot where she played Mary I of Scotland.
In October 2007, Poésy was announced as one of the spokesmodels for the new fragrance by Chloé. In 2008 she will work on Philip Ridley's Heartless.
She will not reprise her role as Fleur Delacour in the sixth film of the Harry Potter series, as Fleur has not been included in the script. However she may return for the last two films in the series.

Fashion Icon: Loulou de la Falaise

2009-01-24T15:27:00.013+01:00

Loulou de la Falaise (born 1948) is a fashion muse and designer associated with Yves Saint-Laurent.
Her mother Maxime de la Falaise was a noted fashionista of her day and a model for Schiaparelli. Loulou therefore grew up in the world of high fashion. After a short-lived first marriage to the Desmond FitzGerald, 29th Knight of Glin, she moved to Paris and became the friend and creative partner of Yves Saint Laurent. According to The Independent, she helped inspire his 1966 female tuxedo Le Smoking and his see-through blouses. The designer and his former muse collaborated until his death.
De la Falaise now runs Maison de Loulou, a Left Bank boutique in Paris.

Oh and keep an eye on her daughter Anna Klossowski, a fashion icon in the make.

They may have started out in 1987, sharing the spotlight as the cutest baby on the Full House block, but Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have proved themselves to be stylishly distinctive both in and out of the public eye.
From Christian Louboutin and Karl Lagerfeld to Jean-Michel Basquiat, Mary-Kate and Ashley have found inspiration in some of the greatest tastemakers in art and fashion. Their new book, Influence, celebrates not only their fashion choices throughout the years, but also the countless designers and artists who have inspired them—and their amazing style—along the way.
From sailor hats and boho-chic street style to seriously high-wattage formalwear on the red carpet, Mary-Kate and Ashley have been trendsetters from the start.

Fashion Icon: Irina Lazareanu

2008-12-30T10:24:00.011+01:00

Born in Romania and raised in Quebec before moving to London at 13 to study ballet at the Royal Academy of Arts, model Irina Lazareanu is helping bring back the supermodel.
She became friends with former Libertine rocker Pete Doherty while living in London. Kate Moss, Doherty’s girlfriend at the time, picked Lazareanu to appear in an issue of French Vogue, which Moss was guest editing. Moss also picked Lazareanu to be the face of her first collection for Topshop. Lazareanu’s rocker vintage style is muse to designers Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel and Nicolas Ghesquière of Balenciaga.

Lazareanu says of her look, "I’m very influenced by the whole '60s-'70s London era, not only in terms of my clothes, but also in terms of the music I listen to, the movies I watch, the writers I read. Those influences probably translate into my personal style in an unconscious way."

Oh Mon Amour....

2008-12-29T13:47:00.006+01:00

Oh mon amour, mon âme soeur

Je compte les jours je compte les heures

Je voudrais te dessiner dans un désert

Le désert de mon coeur

Oh mon amour, ton grain de voix

Fait mon bonheur à chaque pas

Laisse-moi te dessiner dans un désert

Le désert de mon coeur

Dans la nuit parfois, le nez à la fenêtre

Je t'attends et je sombre

Dans un désert, dans mon désert, voilà

Oh mon amour, mon coeur est lourd

Je compte les heures je compte les jours

Je voudrais te dessiner dans un désert

Le désert de mon coeur

Oh mon amour, je passe mon tour

J'ai déserté les alentours

Je te quitte, voilà c'est tout

Dans la nuit parfois, le nez à la fenêtre

J'attendais et je sombre

Jetez au vent mes tristes cendres, voilà

In The Gold Room

2008-12-26T23:52:00.008+01:00

Her ivory hands on the ivory keys
Strayed in a fitful fantasy,

Like the silver gleam when the poplar trees

Rustle their pale leaves listlessly,

Or the drifting foam of a restless sea

When the waves show their teeth in the flying breeze.

Her gold hair fell on the wall of gold

Like the delicate gossamer tangles spun

On the burnished disk of the marigold,

Or the sun-flower turning to meet the sun

When the gloom of the jealous night is done,

And the spear of the lily is aureoled.

And her sweet red lips on these lips of mine

Burned like the ruby fire setIn the swinging lamp of a crimson shrine,

Or the bleeding wounds of the pomegranate,

Or the heart of the lotus drenched and wet

With the spilt-out blood of the rose-red wine.

lyrics by Oscar Wilde

In My World of Fantasy

2008-12-17T21:40:00.005+01:00

Let's dance little stranger. Show me secret sins. Love can be like bondage. Seduce me once again. Burning like an angel. Who has heaven in reprieve. Burning like the voodoo man. With devils on his sleeve. Won't you dance with me. In my world of fantasy. Won't you dance with me. Ritual fertility. Like an apparition. You don't seem real at all. Like a premonition. Of curses on my soul. The way I want to love you. Well it could be against the law. I've seen you in a thousand minds. You've made the angels fall. Won't you dance with me. In my world of fantasy. Won't you dance with me. Ritual fertility. Come on little stranger. There's only one last dance. Soon the music's over. Let's give it one more chance. Won't you dance with me. In my world of fantasy. Won't you dance with me. Ritual fertility. Take a chance with me. In my world of fantasy. Won't you dance with me. Ritual fertility.

Menage - a - trois

2008-12-16T21:21:00.013+01:00

you're over here

she is over there

i am also here

but i'm not really there

my mind is with her

though my body is with you

only i am not just a one

'cause it seems you're not true

it is getting out of hand

out of control

my head is exploding

i can't take this no more

my heart is broken

the tears stay in
at least it is still

i am no longer in
you are over there

you're no longer here

she's still over there

and i'm the only one here
