This weekend at
John Galliano's Spring show Lou Doillon revealed her plans to open a Parisian store. The uber-cool French model/actress/designer revealed her plans to open a concept store early next year.
She told WWD, “We’ll have a mix of fashion, literature, modern and old, with more of an English than French influence, and not conventional."
Spring '09 Fashion Week: Mix Master Lou Doillon, daughter of Jane Birkin and style-setter in her own right, came out tonight to see Zac Posen's show. To show her support, the model/musician/designer wore a dress and bag by Posen. But, instead of going head-to-toe designer, she personalized the look by adding a vintage leather jacket with studded belt.
Lutz & Patmos have been crossing their fingers for this opportunity to arise and now it has; the brand has enlisted British actress and singer Jane Birkin as their latest guest designer.
“She has this really relaxed, nonchalant style without being overtly sexy, which is very sexy,”
said Lutz who also mentioned that Birkin, mother to models
Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon, has played their unofficial muse for quite a while.
Look forward to seeing Birkin's alluring, low-key style translated into organic cashmere sweaters and slim-fitting tanks detailed with raw necklines and crochet.
Lou Doillon has been described as the "French Kate Moss" and indeed there are many comparison points. They both like to party, they both have turned their hand to fashion design, and they are both models. But for me, this is where the comparison ends because Lou's style is far quirkier and much more intriguing.
Stylish city Paris got a fashion injection this week as
Fashion Week took over the city, with celebs and fashionistas descending on the French capital. Liv Tyler and Eva Mendes represented Hollywood, taking in several gorgeous shows over the week, Janet Jackson also visited the city in a whirlwind and – flying the flag for us Brits – was the awesome Helen Mirren, and Alexa Chung who looked amazing at the Chanel show. Lesser known
singer/model Micky Green gets my pick for looking cool in her funky monochrome look, and French natives Lou Doillon and Charlotte Gainsbourg looked stylish as usual in their laid back and more formal get-ups.
This weekend saw more
Cannes activity, including a fabulous Dolce & Gabbana party that saw familiar and new celebs to the Film Festival walking the swirly carpet to be photographed. Lindsay Lohan
had reporters buzzing after showing up wearing a sparkler on her engagement finger, Rose McGowan had to accessorise with her large plastercast after she broke her leg, and the host duo showed up with
Cannes birthday girl Naomi
"Don't call me a supermodel" Campbell.
Kate Hudson looked stunning in a white mini-dress and was apparently
cosying up to her photographer-shy man Lance Armstrong all evening, Natalie Portman and
her man Devendra Banhart also showed up, posing separately, but Devendra showed just how happy he was to be there by having
a pre-party groove in front of photographers.
Dolce and Gabbana threw a party at Baoli, Port Canto during the
Cannes Film Festival this weekend, and things must have gotten hotter because the dresses keep getting shorter. Lindsay Lohan looked spectacular in a short mini green dress and a beautiful sparkler on her finger. Hmmm, could it be a gift from one of
her many suitors?

Mischa Barton and Milla Jovovich mugged for the camera at the Lou Doillon Party for Lee Cooper in Paris yesterday before hitting up the Miu Miu show today as part of
Paris Fashion Week. Don't both girls look 80s-tastic with their off-the-shoulder and brightly colored outfits? And doesn't Mischa just look thrilled to be there?
