Offspring Perfect











When the Birkin bag was named after your mother, you know fashion runs in your blood. The daughter of famed actress Jane Birkin, allow me to introduce you to Lou Doillon model, actress and collaborative designer. French, quirky and smoulderingly sexy are only a few ways to describe her.
Lou says her love of fashion began at a young age (she had tattoos and a tongue piercing by age 11) she was often found dressing up in men’s shirts and eccentric top hats, a look she still sports in the present day. I adore Lou’s undone masculine style which she still manages to keep sexy in a classic Parisian fashion. Lou says she almost all the time will wear anything focused on the waist, as it just works for her, but mostly she dresses to just make people smile.

French, chic, eccentric and perfect DNA, in my next life can I be Lou Doillon please?

Obey Thy Sultan






Peasant chic at its best, I introduce you to Sultan Wash inspired from the uniforms of Chinese military, created by Jeremy Sultan. Sultan Wash shows us what dressing like a red blooded Parisian is really about. The attention to detail in every piece is exquisite from the frail creases in the collars of the shirts, to the delicate wash of soothing earth tones that run through every stitch of the 100% all natural fabrics.

What makes Sultan Wash so special for me is that I could easily see every piece draping on from a French washing line from one flower bedded apartment window to another, in a quiet Paris alley building. The collection is filled with the dopest utility jackets, body touch tanks and silhouette perfect knitwear, classic, simple and light I dare you not to adore. Pull a studded belt around the Parker and fingerless knitted gloves on your hands and your good to walk the St Germain.

Wearing Sultan Wash feels like climbing out of bed and into your boyfriends clothes instantly dressed, instantly irresistible and instantly out the door.
