Happy Tuesday!
We hope you are having a great day! We just got back from a presentation by the creator of Life Is Good. He talked about his mission behind his brand which is OPTIMISM and spreading it to others. His passion for this lifestyle is what drives his company. We were incredibly inspired by all that he achieved without ever compromising the integrity or message of his original ideas.
Now onto our FASHION FIXATION du jour! As you can probably deduce by now--because of our almost obsessive use of it--we are very enthusiastic French students! Last semester we had to (a.k.a.had the amazing opportunity to) create a presentation about a piece of French culture of our choosing. Naturellement, we chose LA MODE DE PARIS!! We focused on four staple French designers: Chanel-Karl Lagerfeld, Louis Vuitton-Marc Jacobs, Yves Saint-Laurent-Stefano Pilati and Christian Dior. These fashion houses have become iconic and maintained their MAH-JOR (to quote Rachel Zoe <3) reputations for a reason. They have become synonymous with the words "french fashion" and the main events of Paris Fashion Week.
Since its inception, Chanel has brought and inspired class and elegance (and a lot of black and white) to every woman's wardrobes. The incomparable double "C" emblem is an image that evokes an almost religious experience in the hearts admirers of this fashion house. (Maybe thats a bit much--but come on its CHANEL!)
Louis Vuitton is yet another remarkable label. Marc Jacobs uses the phrase <<Et Dieu créa la femme>> as inspiration for his designs. This means "and God created the female." He focuses totally on how the clothes should flatter the woman. And in our book MARC JACOBS=GENIUS.
YSL and Dior are both definite necessities for the wardrobe of any respectable French fashionista. These classic brands will forever be the foundation of French fashion.
Stay Flawless and Fabulous!
Love,
Lyndsey and Jenn
