The Mariniere top and the seaside trend viewed by French born contributing stylist Caroline Hegarty

by Chiconomics | Tue, 23/02/2010 - 21:04


Chanel made it popular, Jean-Paul Gaultier made it global, and Brigitte Bardot made it an icon, the Breton top - or Marinière in French - never went out of fashion. It has always adapted to our wardrobe.

This is a timeless piece a lot of French girls like me (and boys too) kept in their wardrobe, maybe as a reminder of a long gone childhood: the Breton or Marinière shirt. Against every trend, the navy and white striped top has resisted fashion diktats.


Who wears the Marinière top the best?

High waist or low waist? Skinny leg or wide leg? Who hasn’t been there, a shopping afternoon turning to a depressing day after trying on trousers that didn’t fit us?

Of course there are many factors to be considered when looking for the perfect pair of trousers (such as overall proportions and body line, legs length, etc…) but here are a few guidelines to help you choose the right trousers cut for your body shape.

Prioritize luxurious materials

Attention Trend Spotters – Transfer Tattoos the latest beauty must have!

by Chiconomics | Mon, 08/02/2010 - 21:57


Chanel sent its models down the Spring/Summer 2010 Catwalk covered in transfer tattoos, closely followed by Rodarte and Jean Paul Gaultier confirming that body art is set to become the hottest new beauty craze of the season. Models sported chain and pearl designs around wrists, necklines, thighs often in lieu of jewellery for an effect that was both delicate and whimsical while creating a sophisticated edge.

It is nothing new for a celebrity to be seen with a new tattoo in fact it is almost de rigueur if you want to make the A-List. Rihanna, Victoria Beckham, Angelina Jolie to name just a few are already tattoo enthusiasts but this new, more temporary take on the trend allows us all to join in. Now we can adorn our skin with intricate designs without the pain, and in the knowledge that it can be replaced with an equally attractive piece within a few days.
