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 !

Anyone who knows anything about fashion will know Madame Grès (1903-1993) and her taste for asymmetry and her singular way of creating Antiquity reminiscent drapes that appear sculped directly on the body. Among her many designs are some distinguished little black dresses of course.

The MMV (Marché de la Mode Vintage), held every year in Lyon, celebrated last weekend its 10 years of existence and remains the event that federates the largest number of visitors and exhibitors within the different events pertaining to vintage fashion in France. Each year the selection of exhibitors gains in quality and in number, and over 25 000 visitors, with a particular accent made on professionnals come from abroad, especially those from European cities where vintage is strongly present such as Edinburgh, London, Brussels and Vienna. And so I set out myself, in search of a few LBDs… vintage of course.
