To me Haute Couture is like a dream. If I think about fairy princesses, I think about Couture dresses, preferably with myself in it. There’s no prince nor kissing a frog involved in getting me to feel that magical, a Couture dress would simply do. And I guess that’s what makes me come back to the Couture shows in Paris every season… Last July I was in Rome with Valentino, in January I went to my first Chanel Haute Couture show, and this season it was all my favorites in a row: Valentino, Chanel, and Elie Saab. Dreams do come true…
Now you might think that dressing for a Couture show is almost impossible if you’re not owning a Couture gown. Well, on the contrary really, because even if you’ll never wear/own a Couture piece, you can attend a Couture show and you won’t look weird in the midst of all that Couture-beauty at all. Even if you’re wearing a pair of jeans – like I did to the Chanel Haute Couture Spring ’16 show in January, when I wore a vintage Chanel jacket and a pair of jeans just because it felt right – you will fit right in. It ended up being one of my favorite looks of all times. And I know not all of you will “get” that, but that’s fine. I’m not here to tell you what to wear, I just want to open your eyes and inspire you to wear whatever you feel is right, because that’s the magic of being yourself and finding your own style – and the core of what I do. Now let’s start with my first look from last Paris Haute Couture week: the perfect Chanel SS16 jacket & skirt combination!
