Hi, I'm mademoiselle Ioana

Code Noir Style is a virtual space where I gathered my passions for fashion, different stories, a little bit of upcycling and all kind of cultural adventures. With a little help from my friends, Code Noir Style is authentic and genuine, accessorized with humour and of course, a touch of style. What is not CNS? It isn't another fashion blog you'll read to find out how to make things, but a playground for sharing experiences, ideas and local or more international news. Read More

Între fantasmă și realitate – târgurile internationale

Târgurile profesioniste de afară seduc în egală măsură ca o emigrare în străinătate – mulți își doresc o participare ca pe soluția care le va schimba viața, însă în realitate sunt foarte puțini cei care știu ce implică un asemenea demers și ce repercusiuni importante poate avea asupra vieții profesionale. Am întrebat recent mai mulți designeri de ce vor să meargă la un târg. Mi-au răspuns cu un dat din umeri încurcat “păi de ce nu?”. Dorind să bifeze cât…

Gucci, the making of — the book

To celebrate its 90th Anniversary with the opening of the Gucci Museum at Palazzo della Mercanzia in Florence, the famous label just released the book to become the reference regarding this Italian house’s history: “Gucci, the making of”. Founded in 1921 Guccio Gucci’s modest family business, based on leather goods, is today one of the most important and iconic luxury labels in fashion – and not only. In spite of seducing Jackie Onassis (their bag entitled Jackie O is still…

Maxime Simoëns — the new man at Leonard

The young man who decided to be designer after seeing Madonna’s Drowned World Tour is in charge from today with the french house Léonard’s revival, succeding designer Véronique Leroy. Fascinated by Jean Paul Gaultier’s sense of costumes and creation, he got his first internship there. After working also for Dior (in charge with the embroideries) and Balenciaga, he decides to create his own label in 2008 and presents his first 10 creations next year, in April 2009 at the Hyeres…

Miro — the broken image

“Il faut de tout pour faire un monde”. And coincidences are not always random. I went to Joan Miro’s retrospective exhibition at Tate Modern in London, a extraordinary and complex exhibition of his paintings and drawings. I always liked Miro for his sincerity and apparent simplicity, but did not know of the extent to which he was involved in politics, a strong and constant interest throughout his life. Around the same period that I had visited Miro’s London exhibition, an…

Bubbling confessions

Always liked Susie Bubble, her sweet yet sharp way of looking at things, analysing pieces of cloth, collections and going further  from one season to another – in a positive and constructive way. Was smilling and touched when I saw her “closet confessions” done by Bluefly at Hotel Living at the end of the last New York Fashion Week – always imagined her like that. Natural and really nice.

Aventurile furtunoase ale unui Aifon zburdalnic

In fine, m-am hotarit – mi-am luat Aifon. Mai bine zis sunt o persoana slaba in fata argumentelor prietenilor mei aifonici si a evidentei mele incompabilitati cu Blackbery-ul primit de ziua mea. E clar ca sunt o “Aifon person”, s-a confirmat in momentul achizitionarii lui: obiectul a devenit instant prelungirea mainii mele drepte. Ne-am inteles din priviri, el clipea la mine albastru, eu il mangaiam tandru digital. Din pacate luna noastra de miere nu a durat. Nu ca as fi o…

L’univers bleu de Lidewij Edelkoort chez Merci

Chez Merci l’heure est grave et très bleue. Aimez-vous le bleu profond ? Je vous avoue, je l’ai toujours trouvé beau et reposant en vacances ou dans la décoration d’intérieur des maisons d’inspiration ethnique, mais de là à faire une passion pour les tons encre ou indigo le chemin est long. Néanmoins, regarder les oiseaux en tissu qui volent au dessus de l’entrée chez Merci et la folie des objets dénichés par madame Edelkoort, donne forcement des nouvelles envies.

Au millieu coule une rivière

Aujourd’hui, une rivière de mots m’a accueilli tout au long de la rampe qui mène à l’intérieur des salles du Musée du Quai Branly. J’étais venue voir l’exposition de vêtements orientaux organisée par Christian Lacroix et me voilà en train de photographier le sol et mes pieds, amusée par l’installation vidéo The River de Charles Sandison, un jeune artiste contemporain écossais. J’ai envie de marcher “dans le flot”, à contre courant, lire les mots qui s’affichent pour chercher un lien,…
