A chic little black dress you ask for? Just dressing up a plain pretentiousless LBD in your wardrobe is made easy with the help of a few carefully selected accessories…

This exhibition is really worth the detour ! The Les Arts Décoratifs of Paris invite some of the most innovative and visionary designers of our time and that past, and today honour a marvellous exhibition featuring the works of Hussein Chalayan. What would the little black dress look like after the experimental and conceptual process that is Chalayan’s production method, a designer who places himself at the frontiers between fashion, architecture and design.

Fed up of France? Looking for a little fun? If so, an exhibition on London, city of the birth of punks, is on at the Bon Marché, since August 28th. You know, the little black dress is not uncommon in Shoreditch, one of the best places to admire the trendy hipsters of the city. With their excentric and quirky outifts, they are a sight to see mixing tradition and modernity with style ! Enough to give any black dress a second life !

It’s the end of sweet summer days under the Chinese sun, I am back for another season ! Talking of which, what are the trends to steal from the catwalks for this AW 2011/2012 season ? A lot of bright colours printed in block like Japanese art, but does this indicate the end of our LBD ? Absolutely not !
