Au Revoir.

The time has come and I am leaving Paris. I am also leaving this blog. I never intended to have the two events coincide but somehow it just feels right. I have loved the blog and I have loved you for reading it. I may be back but for now I want to take the time to write more and upload less. Thank you for your support and have a wonderful summer- wherever in the world you may be.
Gros Bisous,

Le Défilé Créateur: Atelier Chardon Savard.

Last week I attended fashion shows featuring the work of students at the Atelier Chardon Savard here in Paris. I went because it was my friend Sam's runway debut. I learned a few things:
1. Sam is fierce.
2. Beautiful models are nice. Makes it hard to be jealous.
3. Running to McDonald's between shows is not high fashion.

Undiscovered.

 I was recently put into contact with aspiring Vancouver designer Hamish Thwaites. His pieces are sophisticated and incredibly made for someone so young. A student now, he just might bring my home city into the fashion spotlight soon.

Karl in Cannes.

My weekend in Cannes was completed when Karl Lagerfeld strolled past me on Boulevard de la Croissette.   
This is the trailor to the film he was in Cannes to promote that night at his new Chanel boutique The film is creating controversy, but a little fashion and a little scandal is always good publicity.
The film showcases Chanel's 2012 Cruise collection, screening today at Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc at the Cap d’Antibes. The film is available in its entirety 10 May at 9pm GMT on chanel.com. 


“It is a movie about an ill-advised use of money which begins with violence and ends with feeling”    -Karl Lagerfeld.
