That's Haute

It's that time of year again when only the greatest of designers show off their incredible abilities with fabric. Call it exquisite, flamboyant, insane, but whatever you name it, you have to admit that it does leave you with a loss for words.

So far this year has not let up. With giant lions, glittering gowns, skeletal inspirations and models presented as a bouquet of flowers (cellophane on their heads and all!), this is no doubt 'haute' fashion.

Remember Now

Ever since watching Kaiser Karl's "Remember Now" [see it here:http://www.chanel-news.com/fr/], I have become enamored by actress/model Elisa Sednaoui.

Brimming with that je ne sais quoi only an Italian who grew up in France could have,  Elisa's style screams minimalist chic. And how could she not have incredible style, considering Monsieur Louboutin is her godfather. And as if she couldn't get any cooler she also grew up in Egypt!(i.e. my other home!)

Jealous much? I know I am. Check out some of her incredible closet and style mantra here...

Chains and Pearls

I'm still bewildered by how Chanel can take anything and make it look chic and feminine and there is no better example than these tattoos. They're so delicately artistic they remind me of the henna my Egyptian relatives adorn themselves in at weddings.  I'm not a fan of permanent ink but these transferable tatts look so dainty I think my gran would approve!
