Lesson Noir

Vogue Nippon compares and contrasts in a style study on favorite French fashion mavens (including Julia Van Boehm... that Nippon Vogue spelt wrong???) Love that they seem to have captured the essence of each one - without being overly simplistic. Favorites?


Carine Roitfeld
- Editor and chief of French Vogue
- Known for her smokey eyes and sharp heels
- prefers pockets over handbags
- considers her hair in her face to be protection
- Virgo, Studio 54, rock n' roll

Emmanuelle Alt
- Fashion Director at Paris Vogue
- the 'bad ass' contributor to the mag
- known for her laid back, somewhat androgynous style
- stylist for both Isabel Marant and Balmain
- known as a bare faced beauty

<span class=


Julia Von Boehm
- chic Parisian known for styling Vogue Paris, Vogue Nippon and iD
- once assistant to Carine Roitfeld
- recent NY transplant
- more feminine approach to dressing

I like your blog but just a suggestion - id like to see bigger pics by keeping the text on the right to a minimum. It might nice if you could post more often. Thanks.

Much better than Knighttcat.
