Could you be, the most beautiful girl in the world...
If I was a fashion designer, and not just a fashion commentator, Charlotte Gainsbourg would be my muse. There is something of the Elmira Gulch about her and never-the-less, this woman is beautiful. She is a conundrum. Breathy Anglo-French accent, long limbs and sulky looks make a seductive picture that has beguiled the likes of Balenciaga. Though I cannot now shift the harrowing character she plays in Lars von Trier's film Antichrist there is something of the unearthly about her that I will always see as highly romantic whether she is singing, acting or modelling.
Key principles:
Blue is best, midnight is better. Pay attention to detail. Fit is key. Check the rearview. Handwash and iron. Moths are evil. I love: Buttons, old keys, silver birch copses, Art Nouveau, canvas bound books, J W Waterhouse, The Kills, stripes, Polaroids.
