Nous Sommes, Paris

Nous Sommes

The Breton (and the like)

French favourite, the Breton shirt. That long-sleeved stripe cotton garment - traditionally, the stripes begin around the breastbone and it has a boat neck. You know the one, you probably have 4 or 5 — justifiably, as all are different (to the keen eye, at least). 

The Breton stripe shirt originated in Brittany— a French province that occupies the peninsula between the English Channel and Bay of Biscay—which may explain its nautical affiliation. The shirt bears a blaring resemblance to the Brittany flag.

Tom Ford Fall 2010 Eyewear

Freja Beha Erichsen and Nicholas Hoult.

FBE, great as always. NH, as Tom Fords muse, has certainly come a long way from Skins. If you haven't seen it, A Single Man is a movie by TF starring NH, it is both beautiful in imagery and plot.

Nous Sommes, Paris

You thought the pieces from new Parisian label 'Nous Sommes' couldn't look any better? Well they do, around the neck of fashion god, Karl Lagerfeld. KLs formal blessing of the brand was captured below; rockin' the NS pendant made in his own likeness:

I mean, in the name of Chanel, the son and Vodka, KL just gets better and better with age.

Additional photos available at the Nous Sommes blog, here.

KL fantasies aside, I am still hanging out for a bit of Gaga between my fingers!

I dig this collection. Grounded in classicism, with an experimental edge.

SIDE NOTE:
Despite the fact that I hate that clear lensed glasses has become a 'big trend' and I think a few people out there need to recognise it might work a little against them then for them, it's great people are appreciating glasses and I'm really thankful for this trend for ONE REASON: It has resulted in the emergence of some really awesome optical glasses out there (as above!) for people who actually need glasses TO SEE! If you are a wearer of Optical glasses you will understand that finding a cool set of glasses has not always been easy!


None the less, nobody, nobody, can pull this look off by wearing frames without any lenses - excuse me, WTF is that about? I'm confused, 'why did you poke the lenses out of your sunglasses? I think I would even prefer makeshift GLAD wrap lenses.
