alex is the colette library chief and used to be the biggest pessimist i know. that all changed when he found love. he likes ny brand ANYTHING and campy house music. his biggest drawcard however is his artwork: now not many people are aware of this, but he is a really talented illustrator. he also makes amazing mix tapes if you’re nice to him…

this one gets a super special mention. ileana is one of my dearest friends and is absolutely one of the most stylish people i know. having left her native greece several years ago, paris has been her home for a while, but lets face it: even the french capital ain’t delivering what this little lady deserves these days. she is an incredibly gifted textile designer currently working with comme des garcons and will be featured regularly on my blog so get used to being awe-inspired by her iconic style.

an all-out mac daddy named richard. aged 83. likes eminem (i’m serious). lives around the corner from colette.

en route from place vendome. because you’re never too old for electric blue ponchos teamed with lace stockings and a chanel bag….
