Doillon Daze


I, like almost every other person with an admiration of women with timeless beauty, intelligence and substance, adore Jane Birkin. However, it's her youngest daughter Lou Doillon that I have been obsessed with recently. I've always loved her edgy, boyish style and am always tempted to re-cut my fringe every time I see a picture of her perfectly unkempt mane.

Having one of the most famous and beautiful women in popular history as your mother must make finding your place in life pretty daunting, but luckily Lou settled on being a musician.

Lou's haunting yet smooth vocals and thoughtful lyrics make her debut album Places so unique and the entire record is a testament to her charm and ability.
I can't wait to catch her next year on her visit to Australia for the ever so stylish french lifestyle festival, So Frenchy, So Chic!

DAVID BAILEY

David Bailey is undeniably one of the greatest photographers of our time and easily one of my favourites. I love his simple, timeless approach to photographs and his unique style that has captured some of the most iconic portraits of the last 50 years.

Some of my all time favourite shots are from his "Box of Pin Ups" series which contain some of the most powerful, candid images of the true icons of the 1960's fashion, music and pop culture scene - So iconic and rare, original sets of the photographs have sold for over £20 000.


Jean Shrimpton



Michael Cane


Andy Warhol



John and Paul


Mick Jagger


Jane Birkin

Blow Up is one of my favourite movies and as the main character is based on Bailey and his eccentric personality and reputation, I thought I'd include the poster, which I love.

One of the Boys















Simple, menswear inspired dressing is one trend that is so big at the moment, especial among the sartorial elite. I have always been a fan of androgynous style and you'll often find me in the mens section of a store eyeing the coats, shirts and simple tee's and sweaters.

 Francois Hardy, Sophia Coppola, Nico, Jane Birkin and Caroline de Maigret are masters!
