J'adore le français...

If you have bought any fashion magazines lately, you may have noticed the striking add campaign for clothing brand 'The Kooples'.

A relatively new brand, the adds feature models posing as a couple with details of how they met, how long they have been dating etc.

The brand itself designs edgy fashion staples such as lace tops, leather shorts and tailored jackets etc. It was announced yesterday that rock n'roll hellraiser Pete Doherty will be designing an exclusive menswear range for the label...now that will be interesting!

Unfortunately there is no store on these shores as of yet but the clothes are available to buy online on http://www.thekooples.co.uk/

Another label worth noting is French label Maje, which has recently been launched in BT2 stores nationwide.

Striking the perfect balance between Carine Roitfeld's sophisticated soignée and Julia Restoin Roitfeld's sartorial joie de vivre, the French line Maje is comprised of super-chic staples that are sure to leave you enchante.

For anyone who loves Isabel Marant, this label is for you and with the Anna Wintour seal of approval firmly embossed, any budding Fashionista out there worth their Miu Miu should check out this label.

Also keep an eye out for Sandro, yet another French label exclusively available in Brown Thomas. Girly yet tailored classics...

Style icon in the making....

French Actress Clemence Poesy has made quite an impact on the fashion world with her tres chic Parisian style.

As a style ambassador for Chanel, she is frequently seen in their couture designs. Off duty she wears labels such as Isabel Marant and teams skinny jeans with loose fitting blouses or embellished jackets, finishing off the look with a trilby for a slightly edgier look.

I love that she never looks overly done. She wears little make up and has slighly messy tousled hair, which compliments her easy going innate sense of style! Oui J'adore!

These are just a few of my favourite looks. To emmulate her look, try brands such as Maje, Sandro (both available in BT2) and even Zara for inspiration.
