Pastel Pink

· Fashion

The sun this weekend did so much good! Especially since it allowed me to keep wearing the pastel pink color, in homage to that amazing summer we had.

I hadn’t had the occasion to show you these light pants, as confortable as a jog pants. I made it less summery thanks to this blazer (2014 edition) and a light touch of burgundy-color. Autumn is slowly coming and we won’t complain about it. (English translation by Quiterie)

Cédric Charlier S/S 16 : Backstage

· Fashion

I discovered this belgian designer the same way you probably did, through his collaborations (La Redoute, Petit Bateau …) and I always adhered to the sobriety and graphic quality of his cuts.

 

Backstage !

So you can imagine how excited I was when I was invited last wednesday to experience his Spring Summer 2016 show backstage at the Docks de la Mode.

As with any backstage fashion show, it’s interesting to feel those pre-show energy vibes, to see the models’ patience, the make-up artists’ precision and the last touches being made to this or that outfit.

 

Karim Rahman, the Show Expert make-up artist

I especially got very specific information regarding the make-up guidelines for this show. A big thanks to Karim Rahman (L’Oréal Paris expert make-up artist since 2010) for his kindness and availability.

This year was all about the brow, which was meant to be graphic and poetic.

His ingenious technique is to place a piece of tape at the base of the brow and delicately trace a dashed line with an eyeliner. When you remove the tape you get a perfectly clean line!

The rest of the face is meant to stay very simple, no mascara (“I didn’t want to create anything girly” said Karim) nude foundation, and pinkish-beige lips.


 

The Cédric Charlier Spring-summer 2016 collection

The make-up blended perfectly with the collection’s blush pinks, baby blue and deep greens. There were also a few soft prints and a general sense of lightness that contrasted with massive gladiator sandals.

I loved the silhouettes with large pants/skirts and a shirt tied at the waist in japanese style. Inspiration and talent at their best. (English translation by Marine)

Green olive Khaki

· Fashion

Lately, the khaki colour is really my favourite (competing vigorously with burgundy). So today, I almost dedicated it an entire look with multiple touches of colour, from khaki to green olive.

A scarf tied up like a cowboy, a striped jersey, sneakers, the perfect outfit to walk around the capital and enjoy a great time with friends. (English translation by Quiterie)
