Men wearing glasses have always been great. They are perceived as a symbol of being intellectual. In recent years I feel that there is an ongoing change in the perception of woman wearing glasses. Many stylish woman showed up wearing glasses at fashion events. Here are my top 3 woman wearing glasses.

Woman wearing glasses – Ines de la Fressange daughters

Nine d’Urso (20), just for reference the testimonial of Bottega Veneta’s fragrance campaign, and her sister Violette d’Urso (15) often wear glasses while accompanying their mother Inès de la Fressange to some of the hottest fashion events. Both prefer bold, tortoiseshell frames with a vintage edge.

After reviewing Emmanuelle Alt’s and Carine Roitfeld’s couture week looks here comes a closeup of the outfits of another style icon of mine – Ines de la Fressange. While Emmanuelle strongly adheres to Isabel Marant, Saint Laurent and sometime Balmain for the composition of her looks Carine favors Givenchy and Tom Ford as well as other big name brands. Ines de la Fressange style is totally different. Her looks are usually made up from pieces made by lesser known labels. Thus making her appear like she has handpicked everything on her tasteful shopping trips into the most secret stores of Paris (…the effect is definitely intended as a number of short films named “Ines little diaries” is available on the Roger Vivier homepage. Main actor of the films usually is Ines while shopping in a particular region of Paris! – By the way very inspiring to watch for a Parisian or someone who visits the city more often!) That said what Ines de la Fressange style inspirations can we get from couture week?

For her appearance at Schiaparelli Ines de la Fressange chose a simple look combining a cream white tunic top (very similar one from Isabel Marant, available at mytheresa.com) with a pair of cropped pants. Accessories – of course Roger Vivier bag and loafers! Continue reading →

Inès de la Fressange is one of my favorite style icons. I simply love how she mixes really classic pieces and transforms them into an extremely fashionable look just without following a lot of trends or incorporating of lot of super iconic pieces (You know Mise en Dior double pearl earring, Kenzo sweater, Balenciaga cutout boots….). I also love the Japanese high street-retailer Uniqlo for their super functional and high quality pieces with a really fair price tag. Consequently, a Inès de la Fressange Uniqlo collaboration seems incredibly interesting to me.
