Founded in Paris on 1936 by Hatmaker Auguste Michel. The Maison Michel has created hats for the haute couture and prêt-à-porter collections of companies such as Chanel, Givenchy, Nina Ricci, Laroche, Lanvin and Christian Lacroix. In 1996 Chanel takes over Maison Michel. And in 2006, the first Maison Michel Paris distribution collection was launched.

Today, celebrities such as Mischa Barton, Vanessa Paradis, the Olsen twins, Lily Allen, Kate Moss, Milla Jovovich, between others, have fallen into this wonderful world of Maison Michel hair accessories.

Just want to give a big applause to the designers of this amazing Spring Summer 2010 collection, and Chapeau to the creator of this amazing illustrations. That reminds me the wonderful work of my well talented and ex university room mate, Marta Ramos Muñoz de la Peña.

There have been many TV Shows in the past and in the recent days that have given a big influence in the fashion community, or should I say that the fashion industry have given a big stamp in the recent and past TV Shows. Starting from the very well known Sex & The City, with the amazing styles that Patricia Field dressed up some of our biggest past fashion icons such as Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker).

 

 

From clutch bags, to tulle skirts,  we followed all her styles. Now, I can’t wait to see Sex & The City 2, out in cinemas May, 2010. Check out the trailer!

After that came the O.C., with the well known Mischa Barton or Rachel Bilson, that were a big influence as fashion icons for all of us.

 

 

Following with a kind of a Reality TV Show style, Laguna Beach & The Hills with Lauren Conrad.

 

 

The other very well known and popular now a day TV Show  is “Gossip Girl”, with stylist Eric Daman, that made Blake Lively, Leighton Meester and Taylor Momsen also big fashion icons.

 

 

But for the moment being, I just became addicted to the Reality TV Show, “The City”, playing Whitney Port the main role and Olivia Palermo (her looks are amazing). Without no doubt, a great program to follow not only different styles, but also a deep look behind the work of all fashion companies. For those who haven’t seen it yet, you will find all the episodes here, starting with episode 1. Enjoy it. ♥ L.M.

Here it’s a little article about my favorite vintage outfits worn by celebrities.

The first one I must admit that it’s just what we could say, the lucky one, why didn’t I find it before. This is something very common that happens when we go Vintage shopping, as there is so much out there, that we can’t really figure out what to search, and sometimes just miss out the best pieces.

Reese Witherspoon, wore a vintage Christian Dior dress from the 1950s at the 2006 Oscar’s Ceremony. She bought the dress at a vintage shop in Paris. She received the Best Actress prize for her character in Walk the Line.
