Today, Chloé announced the end of Hannah McGibbon’s contract as creative director of the fashion house.
During the past three years, Hannah’s work has always been quite controversial…especially her last collection, which went way too heavy on snakeskin prints. Despite all, Hannah did a great job at Chloe, so let’s have a look at Les Coupines’ favourites:
This spring’s collection was full of wonderfull ballet references (which are perfectly captured in this video featuring prima ballerina Janie Taylor)…we loved the tulle and pleated skirts, the mix of nude and red, and also those sublime black leather shorts.
Our highlights of past collections include the very vintage-like denim patch work look, those perfect dark green velvet pants with the cute cristal and bow embellished ballet flats and the little silk shorts and scallop appliques from Hannah’s debut collection.
New creative director succeeding power women Hannah McGibbon, Phobe Philo and Stella McCartney, will be Pringle of Scotland’s Claire Waight Keller. We’re excited to see where Chloe is heading next…

Sexy with your XL hair down like Lily Donaldson.
À la Parisienne with your parka effortlessly slung over your shoulders. Perfect! I mean we don’t want our expensive COATS to fall off and get lost forever…Read more here.
Accessorized with tan leather pieces like a polished Chloé bag or wrap-around bangles for a nice contrast. Works all the time!
Rough-looking – the ultimate in effortless cool. It admittedly takes a bit of courage to tear up your military shirt at the shoulders – for fashion pros only!
The cute way – with a cozy hooded parka, a matching full skirt and those Chloé booties from F/W 2009. Just gorgeous!
Camouflage – it’s the new thing! Make sure you team this with another trendy pattern (like leo) and lots of chunky jewelry.
Camouflage II - invest in a camouflage print silk dress or bag from Prada’s pre-fall collection. Fail-safe!
Will do an edit on which pieces are worth buying into but need to do a store-check first!
Promise to be back soon for more;-)!

Voilà: Mon weekend wish list! Inspired by every blogger’s all-time favorite and one of my personal wardrobe staples: cut-off denim shorts (preferably Levi’s vintage). For early fall I will wear them with a powder toned silk shirt, the new loafers and Chloé-sque retro accessories. So this would be my ideal outfit for the weekend. What’s yours:-)?

A spontaneous trip to Como last weekend turned out to be the greatest idea ever! I enjoyed every single minute. Pure Dolce Vita!

Wohooo!!! I just found out that my dearest Coupine will stay in Paris and decided this was totally post-worthy! I guess it’s really important to find a place in the world where you just “fit in”. Not only style-wise or socially. But above all it is about finding a place that inspires you and that can give you energy. And the opportunities to get closer to your dreams;-). I feel like Paris can be all that for Nati. Soo happy!

I had already told you about my hat obsession earlier…and indeed I have been buying and wearing lots of hats lately…can’t do in Paris without one!! I have been meaning to post this “hat outfit” for really long:
This is one of my favourite hats. Technically, its not even mine, but I “stole” it from my friend Isa. It’s Vintage and we bought it together chez Episode on Rue Tiquetonne.
Rest of the outfit: Zara shorts and blazer, Isabel Marant plaid tunic, Zadig&Voltaire scarf, Chloe Elsie bag.

Phoebe Philo photographed by David Sims for the first issue of the gentlewoman.
Apart from being a truely stellar designer (back then at Chloe and now at Celine…), Phoebe Philo just has this incredible natural beauty!

As always when there’s a change of season, you start wondering what to wear…well, I’ve the feeling I just have winter clothes here in Paris, so I really need to do some Spring shopping asap!
Voila, a small selection of my favourite streestyle inspirations for Spring:
I believe everything Jeans is gonna be huge! Jeans shirts, jackets, patched up Jeans like the ones from Chloe and playsuits ( I fell in love with this one from ACNE)…
…then there is gonna be lots of beige & khaki and flower prints (go Vintage for that look!)
…and some of our favourites from last seasons like sharp shoulders, leopard and good old chucks in bright colours.
What do you think are the essentials for Spring?!

Former Teen Vogue editor Taylor Tomasi is one of the coolest girls out there when it comes to creative and quirky styling. Plus, she is incredibly pretty in real life. I was truely stunned when I saw her at the Chloe show this week.

Today, at the Chloe show, I tried to snap some pics of lovely Clemence Poesy…
She was literally running away from the crowd of photographers, so that’s the best I could get:
p.s: Don’t miss out on the Louis Vuitton lifestream today!! Watch it at 2.30 pm CET, either on the facebook fanpage or on the i-phone.

Our first stop today was the famous Jardin des Tuileries and we got the fashion crowd OVERDOSE right away…It was a beautiful Indian-Summer-kind-of day and we had lots of fun hanging out outside the Chloé show and spotting streetstyles from our favorite fashionistas. Here’s a selection of the most stylish GIRLS in Paris. Be inspired!
