City Style - Parisian Chic


City Style - Parisian Chic

On a recent trip to Paris this spring, I became obsessed with Lou Doillon (daughter of the famous style icon Jane Birken). She is everywhere in Paris - not physically of course, but rather the influence of her unique style: bohemian with a slightly tough, rock-n-roll edge, but also a touch of luxury. It is all so impossibly chic the way these women zip around Paris on their motorbikes, clad in leather jackets or leather pants and layers of scarves and jewelry. The key to this look is the right balance: keeping delicate or frilly things toned down with something a little edgy (a flowy, silky dress with a motorcycle jacket) and vice versa (a strand of pearls or rhinestones with a flannel shirt and trousers). Mlle Doillon is also the master at making menswear incredibly feminine and sexy. And last but not least.....don't dare brush your hair!
