Highly Selective
there is quite a large spot in my heart for that kind of effervescent french girl style that’s casual and yet completely pulled together all at the same time. it’s never fussy, never overly contrived, it’s just always the perfect balance of comfort and beauty. inherently feminine while still erring a bit on the tomboy […]

dark, gothic….religious?
another stunning ode to rock and roll, christope dercarnin sent out a wardrobe perfect for any hard living rock starlet. studs, sparkles, tutus and ripped jeans could easily border over into tacky but are reigned in by smart tailoring and the keen eye of someone who’s been around the couture block a time or two.
