Olympia le Tan’s minaudières may be the ultimate mark of chic as they affiliate you to a very private circle. Each of them is a quasi-unique object with only sixteen copies produced. You will have a hard finding someone with a similar clutch.
After having worked for the greatest designers, Escada, Roberto Cavalli or Gianfranco Ferre, Giuseppe Zanoti launches his first collection of feminine shoes in 1993 : the “souliers bijoux” (jewel shoes) made him famous. His ateliers are true style laboratories: designers and craftsmen work there relentlessly.
Fashion journalist, Alexandra Golovanoff knows all the tricks of this environment, but she is also a great inspiration for many fashionistas.

Son concept : “Le tricot qui rend beau”, avec des couleurs uniques, qui sont étudiées pour s’accorder à notre peau, nos cheveux ou nos yeux, mais aussi des vêtements confortables, tricotés avec les meilleurs fils de cachemire et de coton égyptien. Produits à l’île Maurice, dans une petite usine familiale, dans le respect des normes sociales et environnementales, ils sont fait pour durer et peuvent habiller toutes les générations. D’ailleurs, ses mannequins préférés sont sa maman et ses enfants.
A chic, surprising wardrobe, made entirely of silk. Created in 2010, Laurence Mahéo named her brand after her two favorite dolls, Prestic and Ouiston, with whom she used to play in her grandparents’ fabric store.

At least the gardens of the Royal Palace were needed to present the real gems created by Manolo Blahnik.
Shoes like no other, furiously chic and feminine. Flat or with 10 cm stiletto heels (never platforms), adorned with pearls, ribbons, feathers, they are absolutely unique and keep a life.
A favorite of Diana Vreeland from her beginnings in fashion, Manolo Blahnik remains a unique designer, apart, that no one will ever bring down from his pedestal.
