I grew up in jeans. I lived in them and at almost 70 years of age I proudly say it. I always tried to keep them for as long as possible. I know quality is something you take care of if you want it to last. Therefore, here are some ideas on how to use your jeans best. Certainly each of you may know a part of these advices, but as I probably know more, I probably am the best….

So far, Karl Lagerfeld, 81, was and is a huge inspirational character for me and certainly for many others. Ageless, the designer of 17 collections per year absorbs trends, styles and “l’air du temps” in a very personal way, over stepping fashion, standards or the simple idea of hype. Highly spirited, mischievous and hard working, Lagerfeld-the man has a great sense of humour and dialogue who’s keeping him as effervescent as a vitamin C. Eccentric seems a word created for…

The exhibition held at the Paris’s Museum of Decorative Arts was an amazing experience, both visual and creative. As 2015 is the year of French-Korean cultural partnership, this event celebrating South Korea was highly expected and I must say, I was far from imagining such beauty. As a true game changer in fashion and design, the exhibition showed also how traditional crafts adapt to modern ideas and global demands. With a non-chronological structure, the central idea is build around the…

Dear all, Starting today, I’m happy to share some useful advices with you. Here one about how to clean silver and jewels (NOT if they have amber, pearl or coral, only silver and gold jewelry with mineral stones). I knew since long that baking soda (soda bicarbonat) is very useful in many different ways : to heal mouth ulcers, to brush teeth, to replace the ready prepared baking powder (by blanding soda bicarbonat with lemon juice), etc. But the miracle…

When I saw the sky today, at this precise moment, I was stunned. And tried all rational explanations you-know-this-is-about-the-light-and-angle before getting to darling-just-enjoy-it. This looked so much more like a FX rather than a natural thing, that I decided it deserved a post on Code Noir Style. And tried more than 10 minutes to get the impressive feeling while having something like this above your head. In vain.

Yesterday was the opening of Scorsese’s exhibition and retrospective in Paris, after Berlin, Turin and Geneva. Stars, celebrities and a lot of enthusiasm and love for the american director who came just for the french premiere, declaring “Finally I feel home”. And it wasn’t cheesy PR.

Multă lume îmi spune că abia așteaptă luna septembrie. Energie, lucruri noi, vâlvă. Până acum puțină vreme, nu era și viziunea mea. Septembrie îmi spune că iar a trecut vara. Degeaba vreau să fiu cu picioarele în mare, ar fi bine să pregătesc cadourile de Crăciun. Anul acesta m-am bucurat, primo pentru că nu trebuia să fiu în țară și am fost. Deuxio pentru că este cald și frumos, așa cum mi-ar place să fie toată iarna mea. Să pot fi la…

“Cât crezi că pot să cer pe pantalonul acesta?”. Întrebarea este aceeași de fiecare dată, pusă cu un ton îngrijorat, ușor gânditor, de către să-i zicem un “designer”. Din partea unui proaspăt absolvent de facultate sau designer cu o anumită greutate și ceva târguri făcute afară, întrebarea lovește sistematic cu inocență și precizia unui ceas elvețian. Partea amuzantă și creația s-au terminat. De la o schiță pe hârtie și o idee vagă s-a născut un pantalon sau o rochie, foarte…

She dared being herself while in the spotlight as John Barry or Serge Gainsbourg lover. Who doesn’t remember her evening looks when in 1977 she added a straw basket to a very long & glittery trousers and it was perfect. Called a haute- hippie, Birkin was BoHo before even the idea of bohemian chic was born. But that’s not the reason of…
