It is always good to keep in touch with former High School mates. Some become doctors, others, teachers and there is Fleur Linet who created her own shoe brand LbyO. Obviously, at first sight, her shoes are classy four-inch-high stilettos. But the real invention and creativity of the brand is to engrave a poetic sentence (in gold!) within the sole. Who said that fashion cannot be witty? LbyO engraves poetic sentences from Baudelaire and by doing so creates a bridge between fashion and literature.
LbyO didn’t go unnoticed for long. The two designers Fleur and Marie did a great job in order to make the brand known and it is quite a success. One day, I just opened Grazia and I was so stunned to see a picture of Fleur giving marks about stars’ looks.
Mystery and seduction are the motto of the brand. These shoes are such a good way to attract the eye of handsome guys in the street. The golden sentence will flicker as you walk. And soon, you’ll feel just like Cinderella waiting for the prince to put the glass slipper on your foot.
So if you want to wear a shie that has Parisian elegance, trust me the LbyO shoes are for you. And I can assure you that they are very comfy (true story I love Converse and I hardly never wear high heels but with those you can run the New York marathon without blisters!).
So listen up guys! You want to propose to your fiancé in a ver...

Don't worry, The Eye Has To Travel although it is a documentary is absolutely not boring. "Boring" is a word that Diana Vreeland loathed.
The movie is actually better than antidepressant because it is full of good energy. So, even if you don't look like a supermodel, you can succeed in fashion and have confidence in yourself. Even her name "Dalziel" means "dare" in Gaelic. This need for being eccentric is really in her DNA. Indeed, even if I admire Diana Vreeland's personality and work I have to admit that she is not what you can call a beauty. The more important thing for her (same motto for Poiret) was style because "without style you are nobody."
Better than American Idol or Project Runway, Diana Vreeland knew how to launch artistic careers. She was the one who discovered Twiggy, told Manolo Blahnik to be interested in "extremities", that is to say feet, made Mick Jagger known in America because "this boy has such marvelous lips!", turn Angelica Huston into a model (I was astonished to see how beautiful she was because for me she would always be Morticia Addams!) and gave Jackie Kennedy advice for her outfits.
She was a woman who went through the whole 20th century but she was also a kind of a fortune teller because according to her the role of fashion is to "offer what people don't know they want yet".
