7 July. Xuan-Thu Nguyen - snow collection, hot dogs and some snacks

So we are in middle of fashion week.
Fashion show of Xuan-Thu Nguyen - fashion designer what I adored a lot this season because of unusual snow play in style of Chanel was done in very artistic way.
Xuan-Thu Nguyen keeps different elements of seasons, mixes them, plays with them. Melting ice and freezing sand are 2 elements in her new collection. Xuan-Thu Nguyen inspired by snowballs what give us feeling of happy memories, she mixes colors: pure white and blue glacial with gold and purple. Pieces of "linen fur" ornamented by flowers and drops of icy crystals makes collection real hot :-)))).













My friends.... Michel Dupre - fashion designer and stylist, created brand "Dupre Santabarbara". Armed with an unusual design philosophy – to transform hosiery into high-fashion confections, by mixing it with fabrics, characteristic of the Haute couture or the high-fashion ready-to-wear, the design duo went on to new creative shapes, playing with elasticity, fineness, transparency, patchworks and "trompe l’oeil" works. The result, a "Black Widow" signature look that conveys the spirit of a woman with mystic sensuality and a fiery refinement, who livens up established conventions.
I presented him at Paris Fashion Academy Award last year. You can see his last collection on site of Paris Fashion Academy.



The director of the show and great support - amazingly stylish man what I had pleasure to meet there Dexter Dex Tao, who happened to be friend of Franck Clere - redactor and chef "Fashion's Life" - "Moon One" TV. Darlings.... darlings... :-))))))))))



Now... some fancy pieces of past days....
My photo with granddaddy :-)... some lovely dresses of my friends - fashion designers performed at Foquuet's restaurant and.....




Paris like all big cities in Europe famous by their performers. Not as much as in Italy but still :-).... During the fashion week "special" fashion performers come to perform before big shows like Dior or Chanel to take advantage of crowd and to keep a little attention to themselves - to profit. Probably just to earn some money... They blocked the entrance and were escorted out by Police. Indeed they were so vicious to be wanted by fashion but in fact they started to be "WANTED" by Police.
It was amusing... one of the performers was Larisa Katz who promotes herself like fashion genius. Being honest I presented her too at Paris Fashion Academy but I also escorted her our from all publicity when I realized that she came to profit. Am I police in fashion now? :-))))))))

INDEED PARIS IS CITY OF FASHION AND SHOW AND... OFF! :-)))))))))))))))))

5 July. Haute Couture Fashion week - first day

C'est parti...
Haute Couture Fashion week Fall-Winter 2010-2011 (5-8 July)!
Exiting isn't it?! :-))))
First day 5 July.
I went to the fashion show of Jeremy Bueno in absolutely chicy-choking place 5 stars Hotel Bristol.
Collection "Sweet dreams" is about romantic dreams. "Guardians of Dreams" - beautiful ladies in see-trough long dresses at the crossroads of the day and night are floating from roads of imagination to the gates of the dreams.
Morphologist Jeremy keeps this sexual image of woman for years simply because this is secret of pure femininity.
What else, dear ladies, we need for our happiness?
Just espresso with George Clooney :-)















What else? Not only espresso! :-))
Fashion exhibition in Gallery Adler "BE CYCLE&FASHION" just in front of Bristol. Fancy! :-))) If you have to ride you have to ride in style. In past we had cabriolets or Ferraries - now it's time for bicycles :-). Behave! :-))))





And "cherry on top" of the first day - Haute couture collection of Carven in gallery of Didier Ludot.
Late drink in garden with cherries was so refreshing for tired fashion crowd from first day of marathon.
Keep going, darlings :-))))

29 June. Annual Birthday Celebration of Prince Albert II in Paris

Annual Birthday Celebration of Prince Albert II organized by embassy took place in LE PRE CATELAN - lovely pavilion in Bois de Boulogne. Indeed this annual birthday celebration in June is more little party then actual celebration. Because of course Prince didn't join our party and on top his birthday actually 14 March :-))).
By the way we had something to celebrate this time :-)): the Royal engagement. “The prince’s palace announced on Wednesday, June 23, 2010, the engagement of his Royal Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco with Mademoiselle Charlene Wittstock,” a palace statement said.



The evening was lovely. I had my own Prince Charming - Wonderful Metre Pierre Cornette de Saint-Cyr this evening. Very famous in modern art and .... like Prince Albert II being best friend of all pretty girls in France , he deserves this title - Prince Charming :-)))))))))))))).
By the way it doesn't bother me much because he's kindest open hearted man in Paris. And of course so charming. I treasure much his friendship :-))).



Ministers, military - the evening was fully equipped with :-))). Probably that's why it was so adorable. Happy birthday, Prince!

24 June. Exhibition in Galeries Lafayette and Summer party at BHV Homme

This is fashion time in Paris. No doubt that I'm going to tell you little stories about big famous event and about small private events for Princesses :-).
Tonight it was absolutely lovely exhibition at Galeries Lafayette - famous biggest and fanciest store in Paris. This summer Galeries Lafayette presents creation in highly imaginative fields of art fashion and design of Vanessa Bruno. "Exhibition Carte Blanche for Vanessa Bruno" will be open from 25 June to 14 August for everyone :-). Go and see - breathtaking.

Then by chance I hoped at the Summer Party in another big store in Paris - BHV. This time the BHV HOMME (special section for men) trough away the Summer Party and opening of spacial section. You may say - YES, quasi modern atmosphere of evening made you feel like you are already somewhere on beach... palm trees, mojito.... - exactly what every modern Princess needs in hot evening in Paris :-)))).
