We're talking about GLOVES ! 

Worn with: 
- sensuality in the unforgettable sequence from Gilda (1946), featuring an amazing (redhead) Rita Hayworth.
The way she takes her gloves off is worth a thousand strip-teases 
- careless, natural elegance by Audrey Hepburn in the film "Breakfast at Tiffany's", directed by Blake Edwards
- pure and simple class in this photo by John French (whom I really love) of Jennifer Howland in a Cavanagh gown (Victoria&Albert Museum)
- absolute and graceful majesty by a still yo...

C'EST LE 1ER MAI ! 8 months ago

Et puis Paulette
On était tous amoureux d'elle....

IMMORTALITY AND JOY 9 months ago
As I'm working on my new collections this afternoon, I listen to two of my favourite composers. 
Well, that's not so surprising, is it ? 
It's also not so surprising that those composers are Mozart and Fauré.
What could maybe surprise a little more is that I 'm listening to their "Requiem" compositions.
The version I chose for Fauré is Seiji Osawa's
and, for Mozart, Von Karajan's historical recording with Berlin Philarmonic Orchestra
Not because I feel morbid. 
Quite the contrary.
The explosion of bloom...
