Casque d'aviateur
Aviator hoodie

"I was inspired by a woman, I forgot her name, an American pilot with very short, wavy hair who was wearing an aviator jacket — which I love — and a little scarf that was so Hermès," Designer Jean Paul Gaultier said. "That's when I said, 'ah ha, that's it.'"

■■Carine Roitfeld's compressed jewel by César Baldaccini■■



~My Kind of MASTERPIECE~


Carine's César necklace is so divine. It is indeed eye-catching and unique.
I spotted her wearing this compressed jewel from César Baldaccini last june at SOIRÉE ALAïA FOR THE OPENING OF SCHIAPARELLI
« you can check my blog archive, June »
and since then I never stop dreaming about Carine's César.
I did a small interview with Carine and I saw her masterpiece so up-close...I die !
