Couture’s closing celebration at Grace’s spot

Yes, I know, I love posting about silly little connections with no relevance. But even after Valentino's post yesterday I could hardly resist to post about this too.
One of my favourite moments from 'The September Issue' is Grace's trip to Versailles when she is standing is one of the galleries overlooking the gardens. And I love it because have similar moments when I visit anywhere built before the 19th century. It's almost as if I felt guilty for missing such incredible moments in history. Kind of emotional. But don't worry, I'm not getting soppy here.
The Chambre Syndicale de la Couture, the organisation which looks after all things HC, threw a huge party last week to celebrate the closing of the couture shows. And the venue they chose was the Grand Trianon, the Louis XIV commissioned retreat Grace found so inspiring.
I'm unaware of whether this is the usual location for this event but I suddenly found myself daydreaming about attending this year's party and sipping champagne next to Rick Owens, Michele Lamy, Haider Ackermann and Christian Louboutin and together looking at the fireworks over the French jardins...

the film of films

It has taken me a good ten minutes to calm down and be able to write this post without too many capital letters and repeated vowels at the end of words, but this news surely deserve over-enthusiastic spelling. When The Devil Wears Prada first came out any true fashionista-at-heart was ecstatic to say the least. But what if I told you that the Queen of queens from the Magazine of magazines is now the protagonist of the ultimate fashion documentary made into a film? YES! Anna bloody Wintour herself is the centre-point of The September Issue, the film that none of us imagined would get done even in our wildest dreams.
Click here to see the trailer and stay tuned for dates. So far NYC and LA will be the first to see it but "selected cities" will follow.

Is this pure joy or what?

I'm off.

PS. Merci beaucoup to Karla and her facebook status.
