Letter from the Editor
F
Philanthropist and fashion enthusiast Suzanne Rogers (page 42) who pens “Suzanne’s Fashion Diary.” Laura Calder, chef, author and TV personality who reports on the chicest restaurants (page 60), and elite travel site Mr & Mrs Smith (page 52), whose editors have jet-setted the globe to reveal the most sought-after hotspots at top film festival locations. Fall brings new additions to our wardrobes, and, in keeping with the theme of change, there’ve been a few at S/Style & Fashion, too. First, we’re now a quarterly— look for our next issue out in November. Commencing with the November issue, I’ll be S/Style & Fashion Magazine’s editor-at-large and Lisa Felepchuk will be our new editor-in-chief. Lisa comes to the magazine world from Bell Media where she managed a number of digital channels, including Fashionism.ca. “Canadian newsstands are lacking a women’s luxury lifestyle magazine like S/Style & Fashion. Our goal is to change that—to offer readers a premium publication that celebrates fashion as art,” she says. Stay tuned for our spectacular gala-themed issue coming up next. Meanwhile, allow yourself to be seduced by fall fashion. (You know it’s futile to resist.)
ashion is many things. It’s a playground for self-expression. It’s a toolkit for self reinvention. It’s a way to display status and wealth and that nebulous thing called “taste.” Yet, thrumming behind it all is the steady murmur of seduction. More than anything else, fashion is the silver quiver in the bow of seduction. During our rough winters, I long for balmy summer days. By late August, I simply can’t wait to break out the bold colours, strong silhouettes and delicious cashmeres and tweeds that give fall dressing its crackle. Enough with the caftans, T-shirts and sandals; this girl was born to layer! Some women can be seductive in a boyfriend’s shirt and flip-flops but, let’s admit it, most of us benefit from a savvy selection of fashion, accessories and grooming. You’ve got to hand it to French women who have mastered this art. Stroll down Avenue Montaigne or Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris and you’ll find yourself dazzled by women of all ages. From the twentysomethings in their Isabel Marant skinny jeans and drapey tops to the fiftysomethings mixing up their Chanel, COS and Cartier with equal aplomb, we could all take a page from their books. For this issue we traveled to Paris (surprise) for our outerwear fashion special. The sharp silhouettes of this season’s jackets and coats look just right set amidst some of the city’s most daring architecture. Also in our pages we celebrate delectable jewels and watches in yellow gold; bold, sexy footwear; and a bounty of this season’s best fragrances and makeup. Three new contributors join us this month.

Suzanne Rogers has her hands full with a teenage daughter and two young sons, yet she still finds time to organize fundraisers for children’s charities and catch a few runway shows—the latest at Milan Fashion Week. “Fashion is an art form. I’m not sure if anything is new in fashion. Many designers go back in time to translate a trend into a modern-day look.”
4.Caitlin Cronenberg Photographer
With artistic genes embedded in her DNA, Caitlin Cronenberg has successfully turned her passion for photography into a profession. Her degree in Fashion Design from Ryerson University is an asset even behind the camera. “Film itself has influenced my photography style whether I wanted it to or not. My style has been called cinematic many times. I like my photos to feel like they have a backstory and a bit of drama to them.” Coat ($2,380) by Véronique Leroy; turtleneck ($930) by Louis Vuitton; belt ($750) by Gucci.

In 2010, Calder’s expertise and enthusiasm for French culinary art made her a Chevalier de l’Ordre du Mérite Agricole, issued by the Government of France. “Food can tell a story–it’s fleeting. Films you can watch again, but with someone singing an opera or dancing, once it’s over, it’s gone. Once you’ve eaten, it’s gone. There’s something poetic about that.”

Suzanne Rogers at Milan Fashion Week
I
The invitation to the Versace show was all black making it hard to read. Once again, because of snarled traffic, I arrived at the door seconds after 8pm only to be told that my ticket was for the 7pm showing. This time, no mojo. The doorman refused to let me in. “Ah, it’s Suzanne Rogers from Toronto, Canada,” said Stefano Gabbana. I have always worn Dolce & Gabbana. Their craftsmanship is stellar. Even their day clothes have a touch of naughtiness. I was thrilled to receive an invitation from Coco Brandolini to a small, private reception with Domenico and Stefano. We chatted about their new boutique in Toronto and I invited them to a Blue Jays game. (They didn’t seem to know much about baseball.) You can’t beat fashion weeks for people watching! Truman Capote couldn’t invent these characters. The restaurant at The Four Seasons was practically empty, aside from myself and Laura Lendrum (president of Ralph Lauren’s US stores division) and, at a nearby table, André Leon Talley, Vogue’s former editor-at-large, waiting for his lunch guest to arrive. And, boy, did she ever. On her way to his table, Ulyana Sergeenko, the Russian designer/oligarch wife, did a full runway strut and finished with a step-and-repeat pose! On the streets, those effortlessly chic Milanese women were bundled against the cold rain in luxurious wraps, big fur Cossack hats and muffs, making them look like characters from Doctor Zhivago. I will always return to Italy—just not in February. Until next time… ✦ Invitation photo by Adrian Armstrong. Prada coat and Janet Jackson photo by Getty Images.
Ciao, Milano
sure needed some fashion mojo during my inaugural trip to Milan Fashion Week to see the fall collections. A frigid rain fell all week and the traffic was worse than in Paris. En route to the Prada show my car was immobilized on a narrow one-way street. With five minutes until showtime, I bolted from the vehicle and ran the remaining three blocks in my black silk Prada pumps. Drenched and breathless, I arrived at the door just as the guard was closing it. “The music has started. You can’t enter,” he told me. I was not proud to beg. “Please. Please!” He ushered me to the photographers’ pit. “Don’t move,” he ordered and walked away. Lucky me. I had landed the best “seat” in the house. The show was wonderful, full of strong silhouettes and rich fabrics. My favourite piece was the pink full-skirted houndstooth coat. If runway shows are like a circus, Roberto Cavalli is surely the ringmaster. Cavalli did interviews before the show, right on the runway. Everyone went berserk when Janet Jackson took her seat two rows in front of me. Though I’m not a Cavalli girl, his elaborate detailing and sexy clothes bring a lot of sizzle to the runway.

Aerin Lauder has an unwavering eye for beauty. As the granddaughter of Estée Lauder, it’s no surprise that she’s crafted a noteworthy (and limited edition) collection for fall. AERIN New York City Color is a succinct spread of products that will seamlessly transition your beauty routine into the cooler months. “Inspired by an afternoon in the city, this collection speaks to my fall staples—a great peacoat, a pair of sunglasses and the perfect touch of colour on my lips and cheeks,” says Lauder, who is both the founder and creative director of AERIN. The eight-piece assortment has been strategically edited. AERIN’s Fall Color Palette is a four-in-one compact that includes a blush and three shades of buildable shadow: Barely There for a neutral base, Smoky Navy to add depth and Midnight Shine for nighttime drama. Two lipsticks, four lip glosses and a rich, inky eyeliner complete the line. Modern yet simple, Lauder’s latest collection is effortlessly chic. AERIN New York City Color is available at Holt Renfrew stores across Canada and online at EsteeLauder.ca.

Launching a makeup line is risky business, but Marc Jacobs isn’t one to shy away from danger. His preliminary namesake beauty collection comes as no surprise—especially since he’s partnered with Sephora. The 120-piece collection is bold, vivid and imperfectly perfect. “I see beauty in many things and I am attracted to all sorts of imperfections, to style, to confidence or experimentation,” says Jacobs. Standout items include an anti-aging foundation that contains coconut water, intense lip lacquers and precision eyeliner pens. Graphic liner, a fall makeup must, can be easily achieved with Jacobs’ Magic Marc’er. It’s a foolproof approach to precision liner, courtesy of the calligraphy-influenced applicator. Marc Jacobs Beauty is available at Sephora, both online and in stores.

It’s time to choose a crisp autumn fragrance. BCBG has produced a new perfume for fall and the results are both sophisticated and enchanting. The fashion house has partnered with Elizabeth Arden for their third fragrance, Bon Genre. The scent opens with top notes of bergamot and black pepper. The spicy citrus is balanced by heart notes of jasmine noir, tiger lily and tuberose, and finishes with base notes of Australian sandalwood, black vanilla and patchouli. Whether you’re heading out for a weekend drive wrapped in a cozy cashmere sweater or nestled indoors in thick cable knit (a glass of Pinot Noir in hand), this alluring aroma is the perfect accessory to layer under your fall wardrobe. Bon Genre is available at BCBGMAXAZRIA stores across the country, including Yorkdale Shopping Centre.

Inspired by an Italian horror film, Bellavance’s debut collection is far from frightening. Nolan Bellavance and Ava Hama, the brains behind the emerging brand, met during their first year at Parsons The New School for Design. After working alongside one another, both students were given internships at Gap, and from there, success continued to follow. Nolan was awarded (by unanimous decision) the MADE for Peroni Young Designer Award in 2012. This earned him two trips abroad and the financing to execute his first collection under the brand. Bellavance successfully showed its Fall/Winter 2013 line at New York Fashion Week. The duo’s inaugural collection is a mix of oversized fur outerwear, structured jackets and feminine lines. Nolan’s upbringing in Western Canada combined with Ava’s Manhattan roots offers a refreshing juxtaposition. Pieces from Bellavance’s debut collection are available at Opening Ceremony.

ounded in 1932, the famed Venice Film Festival is the longest-running international celebration of celluloid. As locations go, what could be more cinematic than this city of canals and cobblestones, where the red carpet is rolled out on Lido, a sandy slip of an island trimmed with exclusive beaches. Even if you’re not up for the coveted Leone d’Oro, Venice offers A-list treatment. Naranzaria, nestled within a 16thcentury building in the bustling Rialto, is where film types take their clients to schmooze over seafood carpaccio. After lunch, visit the palazzo, now a gallery, of modernart maven Peggy Guggenheim. A short stroll from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Nape is an intimate shop showcasing 20th-century Murano glass. Foodies will love spending the afternoon learning Italian cuisine in the kitchen of Enrica Rocca, one of the world’s most prestigious cooking schools. To feel like a true movie star à la Charlize Theron (who is often in Venice during the film festival), book a suite at Palazzo Barbarigo, a converted 16th-century palazzo on the bank of the Grand Canal, near the Rialto. With water views and a décor that blends boudoir glamour with 1920s Art Deco, it just might be the biggest scene stealer of all. The Venice International Film Festival is held annually from late August through early September. -KT

nown for its provocative selections, the Marrakech International Film Festival has a setting as thrilling as its film lineups. From winding alleys to a vibrant souk, Marrakech has long inspired romance and adventure. The palatial La Mamounia hotel, with its expansive and fragrant gardens originally designed to host the garden parties of an 18th-century Moroccan prince, has a history as rich as its décor. Another storied garden can be found at the Jardin Majorelle, built by French artist Jacques Majorelle and subsequently owned by Yves Saint Laurent. Majorelle’s former workshop now houses the Berber Museum, which displays Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé’s personal collection of indigenous artifacts. A visit to the souk is a must. Within the larger market, Le Souk Cherifia offers a curated selection of high-quality boutiques, from embroidered linens at La Maison Bahira to fine leather handbags at Lalla. Get above the fray and enjoy the cool breezes on the rooftop restaurant La Terrasse des Épices; the best spot for film festival people watching. Keep an eye out for stars like Sigourney Weaver. To master traditional Moroccan cuisine, visit Souk Cuisine, which organizes market tours and teachs students how to make North African tagine. The Marrakech International Film festival is held annually from late November through early December.-LH

f there’s one thing that can be said about Australians, it’s that they know how to host a party. So, it’s no surprise that the Sydney Film Festival—a 12-day global fête of film with screenings spanning this cosmopolitan capital of cool—is an industry favourite. Discuss groundbreaking documentaries and break-out performances over fried king prawns or taramasalata dip at Apollo, a Greek-inspired restaurant in Potts Points that’s indicative of Australia’s inventive dining scene. Continue the conversation with a round of clever cocktails, like a fancy gin-based potion (named Hanky Panky) at the Victoria Room, an elegant drinking den seemingly plucked from another era. Make sure to pull yourself away from dark screening rooms long enough to soak up a little of Sydney’s glorious sunshine and explore its handsome harbourfront. Go celebrity spotting at the Merivale Pool Club (Cate Blanchett is a Sydney Film Festival regular), a palm-tree-fringed retreat, and don’t miss a stroll along the spectacular Bondi-to-Tamarama coastal walk, which is transformed from late October through early November into Sculpture By The Sea, a temporary sculpture park with work from more than 100 artists. For a home-away-from-home that’s as theatrical as the festival events surrounding it, check in at the stylish and super-central QT Sydney. Carved out of the historic State Theatre and Gowings department store buildings, it’s a mix of Gothic, Art Deco and Italianate architecture with quirky-but-cool interiors. Add a hip spa, buzzing bar scene and delicious dining and you’ve got a star that’s always ready for its close-up. The Sydney Film Festival is held annually in early June.-KT

Author and TV personality Laura Calder checks out Chicago’s Next Restaurant—where poetry meets food
I met Philip on a flight to Italy. He was going to Bologna, to eat; I was heading to Piedmont with the same intent. Needless to say, during the long flight we became fast friends, and before we were even halfway over the Atlantic, we were plotting to reunite one day on terra firma to dine. Since then, we have done so many times, which is how I learned that Philip is not only an enthusiastic eater, but has one of the most discerning palates— as well as a knack for getting into high-demand restaurants. (Oh, he’s also nice. But who cares about that?) “Two tickets to Next Restaurant in Chicago this weekend?” I’d been hearing about Next Restaurant ever since our first serendipitous meeting on the plane. Next is more like a theatre than a restaurant. Patrons buy “tickets” instead of making reservations. A menu runs for three months before the “show” closes to make way for a new one. And what performances they are, with themes like “Childhood,” “Paris 1906,” and “The Hunt.” With each new menu, chef Dave Beran also changes the tableware and props, so you never feel like you’re eating in the same restaurant twice. Philip had managed to get tickets for the “Vegan” menu. I was thrilled, not because I’m remotely vegan, but because I couldn’t fathom what chef would be brave enough to throw away the usual crutches (eggs, butter, cream, meat…). Our first course arrived: It was a gorgeous green “moss” on a rock, flecked with flowers. In fact, it was a delicious burnt avocado to be scooped up on bark-like crackers that we plucked out of tree branches adorning the table. What at first appeared to be a “lily pond” as the table’s centrepiece was eventually ladled over a dish of shaved lily bulb. Divine. A risotto with white asparagus was creamy with sunflower “milk.” And, heaven only knows what they did to the salsify because it tasted exactly like an oyster. The drinks were equally engaging. One of the best of the night was an aged vinegar served from a burnt-out maple tree. I also went gaga for the Scharffenberger Brut Excellence from California and, later, a mysterious mixture of Lambrusco, mezcal and Carpano Antica. “Savour every bite. Every sip,” I reminded myself, “You’ll never taste any of this again.” The menu was a challenging 23 courses that left me as exhausted as if I’d just sung an opera, and as elated. Next Restaurant is dazzling, yes, but tickets are hard to come by. By setting up an account on their website, you can be notified of sales. Either that, or be lucky about who you sit next to on airplanes. ✦

Ouellette and Vandal have a great eye for covet-worthy, contemporary Canadian art. Their Montréal home is replete with dozens of paintings and installations by both famous (there’s a Jean-Paul Riopelle in the salon and another in the kitchen) and up-and-coming artists (the side tables in the master bedroom are topped with twin neon light sculptures by Toronto’s Orest Tataryn). It would take a typical homeowner a lifetime to amass a similarly stunning collection and just as long to put together a comparably elegant sequence of rooms to show it all off. Ouellette and Vandal renovated the 4,500-square-foot space and sourced all the pieces on display in just six months. To be fair, the bubbly, bearded duo has had plenty of practice. Since starting Les Ensembliers a decade ago, they have completed scores of glamorous abodes from Tremblant to Paris. Every few years or so, they also purchase and remodel a new home for themselves. The latest, in the Westmount neighbourhood, is their fifth. These frequent home makeovers aren’t the result of some compulsive renovation itch. It’s partially just good business sense. Where other designers might simply pull out a portfolio, the pair likes to attract prospective clients by touring them through a newly finished, impeccably realized project. The renos are also a way for Ouellette and Vandal to explore untested, possibly out-there concepts and aesthetics—something that is easier to do when they, as opposed to their client, own the home. For the Westmount place, they were inspired by the idea of blending a traditional structure with an edgy, experimental art venue. “I’ve always enjoyed visiting galleries,” explains Ouellette. “They are great places to relax. But I never wanted to live in one as they are often quite sterile spaces.” That said, by pairing certain gallery traditions—crisp white walls and open, flowing spaces—with more cozy, homey touches—ornate woodwork, beamed ceilings and plush, comfortable S / STYLE & FASHION | Fall 2013

furniture—Ouellette and Vandal wondered if they could get the best of both worlds. Something serene and relaxing that was also warm and inviting. Ouellette and Vandal found the perfect reno house by first narrowing in on the right street—quiet, verdant Aberdeen Avenue—then waiting for a property to come on the market. The home they ended up purchasing had great bones—a massive Victorian manse with original Arts and Crafts detailing. But it had been lived in by the same owner for about 40 years and hadn’t had an upgrade in decades. The wainscoting, banisters and moldings were in rough shape—scratched, dinged and distressed—and the interiors were dark and claustrophobic. To add a sense of lightness and levity, Ouellette and Vandal refinished all the original, dark-stained woodwork with a bright white laminate and then installed a pale-but-mellow oak floor in all the main living spaces. They also did a major overhaul to the back of the main level by turning a warren of rooms (including a maid’s quarters, a small kitchen and a laundry area) into a 300-square-foot kitchen with wall-to-wall windows and a gleaming, marble-topped island. Then came the art. Working with Montréal dealers Art Mûr and art consultant Marjolaine Arpin of Art Actuel, Ouellette and Vandal simply tried out myriad pieces, hanging or arranging them in different rooms to see what looked right and rule out what looked wrong. “It was fun,” notes Ouellette “and it didn’t take too long.” Of the 30 or so that made the final cut, one of the most striking sculptures, by Ontario artist Shayne Dark, is in the foyer. It’s a series of craggy twigs that is seemingly growing right out of a tall, otherwise empty wall. The branches are cobalt blue but what really makes the piece pop is where it was placed—next to a classic staircase that’s been around for over one hundred years and beneath a skylight that washes it with sunshine so that, throughout the day, it’s constantly casting new, unusual shadows. ✦

Trophy M alin Åkerman will never reach for a pair of pleated, highwaist mom jeans. “I’m wearing the coolest, sexiest pants for as long as I can,” says the Swedish-born Canadian actress, who gave birth to a son, Sebastian, in April. “And give me extra-high heels!” she adds, which is fitting for a former Ford model. “I love things that have a bit of an edge. I don’t look great in flowing, flowery stuff. If I could, I’d wear Alexander McQueen to every red-carpet event.” Then she pauses. “You know…there’s spitup on my shoulder,” she says, laughing on the phone from her home in the Los Feliz neighbourhood of LA.

Å “
Åkerman is an appealing combination of goofy, accessible and drop-dead beautiful. Like Cameron Diaz with her cool blonde hair, electric blue eyes and penchant for physical comedy, she doesn’t hesitate to poke fun at herself. (In interviews, Åkerman has said she’d like to be cast as Diaz’s sister in a film one day.) She has been lauded for her comedic work in Rock of Ages with Tom Cruise and in Wanderlust with Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston. She’s also played opposite Ben Stiller in the 2007 remake of The Heartbreak Kid, and was Katherine Heigl’s sexy sister in 27 Dresses in 2008. But it was her turn as Silk Spectre II in the superhero blockbuster Watchmen in 2009 that shot her to serious stardom. Months of intense weight lifting and fight training turned her into the lithe, crime-fighting dream girl of many comic book fans. The role also earned her worldwide recognition for both her unique looks and admirable skills on camera. And she has been savvy enough to capitalize on it, too. As she told the Daily Mail in 2009: “I think that being beautiful is a blessing and a curse. I tend to get a lot of scripts in which people want me to play the trophy wife, which is frustrating because I want the interesting, meaty roles.” But with each new film endeavour under her belt, Åkerman continues to gain status as a household name, bringing her more role offers and more choice as to which characters she gets to play. Ironically, her latest venture is a starring role in a new comedy series that premieres this September on ABC/ CTV called—wait for it—Trophy Wife. Åkerman plays Kate, a reformed party girl, third wife to Pete (played by Bradley Whitford), a wealthy lawyer, and stepmother to his three kids. “When I first got the script, I thought, ‘There’s no way I want to play the trophy wife.’” When describing her immediate reaction to the script’s title on a Television Critics Association Tour she exclaimed, “Oh hell no!” Åkerman says she changed her mind after reading through it, when she realized the series wasn’t about a stereotypical May/December romance, but a deeper love story. The series gives us a peek into modern-day family life with regards to marriage, divorce, blended families, newfound step-parenthood and ex-spouses. (One of Pete’s exwives is played by Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden.) “Kate is trying to be a parent, but that doesn’t always work

out so well,” says Åkerman. Scenes show Kate being fall-down drunk or leaving her stepson in the dubious care of her best friend. Åkerman feels the show is timely in today’s world. Growing up in a blended family is something Åkerman knows about first-hand. She was born in Stockholm and her parents moved to Canada when she was two. They divorced when she was six and both of them remarried. Åkerman lived with her mother in Canada after her father returned to Sweden and spent summers and holidays with him. She says she’s grateful for the experience of being raised in two countries. “It piqued my curiosity and opened me up to different cultures and got me excited about change,” she says. She currently holds citizenship in both countries. “If you want to call it ‘growing up worldly,’ I think it’s been good for me in bringing different characters to life.” A fact that even the most discerning critic wouldn’t protest. It wasn’t easy for the actress to have two separate families so far apart from one another. Åkerman has mentioned over the years how difficult it was to be away from her father, only seeing him on holidays. The feelings she often experienced as a child left her wanting to use her insight to benefit others, so she pursued an education at York University in Toronto with the goal of becoming a child psychologist. The student spent her spare time acting and modelling on the side, to pay for her studies, but the role offers kept pouring in and eventually Åkerman had to make a decision. She decided, in the end, to give her acting career a real shot and moved to LA. It seems that the talented actress made the right choice. Next up for Åkerman is the feature film about CBGB, chronicling the famous New York punk club of the 1970s. In the film, which is set to be released next year, the actress portrays singer Debbie Harry, frontwoman of the punk band Blondie. “How often do you get to play somebody so iconic?” she says of the sultry Harry. “It’s nerve-wracking because it is such a big deal. I wanted to do her justice.” The job is a family affair as her husband Roberto Zincone, a musician, is cast as the band’s drummer. It’s an arrangement that must feel strangely familiar to the actress, who had a brief stint as the lead singer in the band The Petalstones prior to the success of her acting career. It was here that she met the band’s drummer who eventually became her husband. Ever the romantic, Åkerman explains: “When you find love you hang on to it no matter what. For me that was finding a boyfriend who doesn’t speak English. Overcoming that obstacle was a lot of fun.” They married on June 20, 2007 in Sorrento, Italy and she’s now added fluent Italian to her English, Swedish and French. Now 35, Åkerman is grateful for her ever-expanding career. “In this line of work I get to play all day long,” she says. “I feel like I’m 18.” ✦

hen you think about it, it’s the perfect pairing: Lacroix and Schiaparelli. She was a Roman aristocrat who served Wallis Simpson up in a lobster dress, championed zippers in an age of buttons, and invented the skort. He was the king of all-you-can-wear ornamentalism, whose commitment to couture was so gorgeously uncompromising that he drove his company into the ground. He loves pink; she invented her own shade, and named it “shocking.” He has returned to his first loves, art and the stage, designing sets and costumes for a tremendous array of opera, ballet, theatre and exhibitions; she was the Surrealist of fashion, who moved in the world of Salvador Dali, Jean Cocteau and Man Ray.

ones like Bérard. Schiap’s operatic and theatrical approach marked me deeply.” One thing Lacroix did not do was visit the Schiaparelli archives. He says it would be dangerous in creating just 18 outfits to “reflect just the bubbles of her Champagne.” Afraid of drowning himself in details, image and research, he instead chose to “trust the archives I’ve built up in my mind for the last 50 years.” In addition to the Schiaparelli Couture collection, Lacroix has been indulging his love of the arts and design with a number of high-profile projects. He has just returned from Austria where he created over 200 costumes for a production of Lohengrin. He has also created an exhibition for Montmajour Abbey, the scenography for an equestrian festival and a hotel design (Hôtel Jules César), all in the beloved area of Arles where he was born. He holds the position of art director for the La Monnaie de Paris museum; he has completed carpet designs for the Musée Galliera Fashion Museum that re-opens in September; and then, of course, there are the costume designs for the Balanchine Ballet for the Opéra Garnier, Comédie-Française, and Opéra-Comique productions in Paris. One could almost say it is the revenge of Lacroix after he was forced to shutter his atelier. Ask Lacroix if he misses working in the conventional fashion industry and he shakes his head. “I don’t miss what fashion has become, or the way I had to work in it those last years with so many problems. On the contrary, I feel I have now found my real, true, genuine way, at last. It is as if fashion had been a sinuous digression, a detour of 30 years!” Lacroix confides that he is relishing his creative freedom and that working on a variety of projects is his favourite side of fashion. “Since I was a child and then a teenager, I had always wanted to do stage designing or museum curating. It’s why I created such different and unusual fashion. It was inspired by museums and theatre. There was no name for the ideal job I was dreaming of. Now, I feel, I have found it at last. And every day is wonderful with new projects, enthusiasm and passion.” After the business debacle that concluded with Lacroix losing the right to use his own name for a fashion label, he tries to be

For first in a series of artist and designer collaborations with the house of Schiaparelli, Christian Lacroix designed a one-off 18-piece collection. It is a couture homage from one voracious and monumentally creative artist to another, and Lacroix’s first re-entry into fashion since his own house went bankrupt in 2009. Schiaparelli, a rival of Coco Chanel’s, passed away in 1973. The recent blockbuster exhibit at the Costume Institute in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art entitled “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations” has brought the designer’s name back into the spotlight. Lacroix’s name, too, has been away from the fashion spotlight but his creativity has continued to flourish under the radar. “I work all day including weekends, since I don’t feel like I’m working. Sketching, designing, writing—it’s a pleasure, a passion, an addiction. My Macbook is my office, my library, my atelier, everything. And with a 3G stick I can work everywhere, including on the train,” he says. The Schiaparelli Couture collection proceeded slowly— Lacroix produced over 100 sketches but only 18 designs were included in the show. In addition he personally chose all the fabrics and embroideries. “I have a sedimentation process of working. I design a first version. Then a second, until the very last minute and that’s when, I hope, I reach the core.” For fashion connoisseurs, Schiaparelli evokes images of surrealism, extravagance and over-the-top themes. These clichés are a trap for Lacroix. “I know her caricature is part of her story. I modestly experimented with that. I even know that the style aspect of her work comes from that part of her: shocking pink, the circus theme, capes, etc. But she loved black, too. She was extravagant, for sure, but functional. With whimsical accessories together and a kind of minimalism.” Lacroix discovered Schiaparelli when he was a child, from fashion magazines he found in the attic. Later on, he scoured the flea markets and bouquinistes stalls along the Seine in Paris to add to his collection of vintage fashion magazines that showed her designs. The biggest inspiration came from visiting a museum exhibit. “I saw several [of her pieces] and they were unforgettable. I felt very inspired by her work—more than any other designer from the past, except for Hollywood costume designers like Adrian, and some French

philosophical about the way events unfolded. “I’m still waiting for the millions of euros the owners of the house owe me. I worked seasons without being paid. Let’s say that between fashion and me, it was a rendezvous manqué. I never found people with the right chemistry or had the same idea of how to achieve true and lasting success. My approach to fashion needed an unusual way of collaborating and working in such a globalized and ‘formatted’ world.” Finding success in his personal creative projects has meant a great deal to Lacroix. His flourishing company, called XCLX, has given him back the confidence in his own skills. He’s particularly pleased that his collaborators, such as the seamstresses and other supporters, found new jobs and ways of life after his atelier closed. “The very day Chapter 11 was announced, I was in the Berlin Staatsoper for a production of Händel’s Agrippina. It went on to be such a success for my team that German opera houses commissioned us to continue working for several seasons,” he says with evident pleasure. The Schiaparelli Couture exhibit kicked off Paris Couture at Les Arts Décoratifs with a three-day, invitation-only showing and subsequent viewings by appointment at Maison Schiaparelli on Place Vendôme. By all reports Lacroix’s collection was a hit. Attendees included former Lacroix model Carla Bruni, Inès de la Fressange, who declared Schiaparelli to be the “Shakespeare of fashion,” and Riccardo Tisci who spoke for many guests when he said of Lacroix’s work, “He killed it!” After the couture shows Lacroix indulged himself in a month-long vacation and is now back at work on designing hotels, costumes, museum exhibits, carpets and everything else that captures his fancy. ✦

utside the leaves are transforming from lush green into rich red and burnt orange hues—Mother Nature is quietly coaxing us into the next season. The change in weather brings an array of new beauty trends directly from the prêt-à-porter runways. Bold lips in sultry shades of red; shimmery eyeshadows in pomegranate and cranberry, playfully swept over the lids; precisely placed graphic eyeliner in midnight black. And if neutrals are your vice, matte powder and nude nails crown autumn’s beauty musts. S / STYLE & FASHION | Fall 2013

THE LAST WORD
A M ODERN pioneer Artist, writer and founding member of the fashion blogosphere, Garance Doré’s online presence has had a profound impact on her career By Sahar Nooraei
You won the media award from the Council of Fashion Designers back in 2012. How did it feel receiving such a prestigious award? Crazy. And very important because it meant fashion was finally recognizing the internet and bloggers as a new way to talk about fashion. It seems normal now, but this was a big step and not just for us. For all bloggers. What kind of artistic reward do you receive from fashion illustrations vs. street style photography? It’s the process that’s super interesting. For illustration, I have to look on the inside. I am quiet, I listen to my music, I am in the zone. For photos, I am looking on the outside, I have to communicate and be sensitive to everything that’s around me. It’s a wonderful balance. Do you have a style checklist when you’re choosing who to photograph? What do you look for? Individuals. Things that inspire me personally, but also things I wouldn’t have thought of. So, I try to keep my eyes opened. How would you describe your personal style? Simple, French, féminin-masculin.
Do you remember the first item you splurged on? A pair of very expensive shoes from Stephane Kélian. Are there any trends you’ve attempted that have backfired? I tried the whole Chloé/Phoebe Philo baby doll trend once. Definitely not for me. When did you find your own style? I think that style keeps on evolving, but I have to say, my blog was a way to find it—it really helped. So, not such a long time ago! What are your go-to brands? Stella, Céline, Valentino, Phillip Lim, but also a lot of classics like Ray-Ban, Church’s, Converse. What do you have your eye on this fall? I want to find a beautiful vintage lace blouse to go with my simple French wardrobe. Whose style excites you? Jenna Lyons, Emmanuelle Alt, Jane Birkin, Katharine Hepburn.

Traveling is very important to you. Do you have a trip planned that you’re excited about? What’s your dream destination? One of my dream destinations was Bali, and I just went. My new one is Vietnam and I really want to explore more of South America! Oh, also, I am going to Greece as soon as possible, but more to idle than to explore. I love an island where there is nothing much to do. In one of the episodes of “Pardon My French,” you’re introduced to Julianne Moore who mentions she recognizes you. Were you caught off guard? I was. She’s one of the women I really look up to. Sometimes, you know, I still have to pinch myself! Can you recall the last film that inspired you sartorially? I watched Rich and Famous. So much inspiration! What does success mean to you? It’s a mix of something comforting and challenging at the same time. And not something I think about every day. ✦
