First steps on the catwalk for nephew Simon!

Nephew Simon, the oldest son of my sister Inge, made his first steps on the catwalk!! A few weeks ago he was asked to take part of the autumn/winter teenager 2010 fashion shoot for the new magazine of the Belgian fashion store, DELEYE.

The new Magazine was edited just yesterday, so I wanted to surprise Simon with this post!!!

Cover of the new magazine, with at the bottom…

Doesn’t he look cute with this cap?

Valentino’s catwalk

This morning I received an email of the company QUERCUS.

This French company is a maker of high-quality handmade wood floors.

They work in the tradition of the French and Italian woodmakers of the 17th and 18th century.

I discovered this company at the Maison & Objet exhibition in Paris this year.  And I can tell you that their work is beautiful!

So in the email the company QUERCUS was proud to announce that they had delivered the parquet floor for the catwalk at the fashion show of Valentino. Fashion week in Paris, 2 weeks ago!!!! Isn’t that fantastic?!

 

These first 5 images I got emailed from Quercus this morning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the floor used for the Valentino’s catwalk. Named CADORE, made of European oak. But in another finish.

   Quercus Historical Italian collection 1760.

 

Some other QUERCUS floors :

  Versailles. Historical French collection 1600. Walnut.

 

Louis XVI Historical Italian collection 1650. European oak.

Eye-catcher

I'm not that fashion-addict, but this pub from Ralph Lauren , I saw in the Elle Magazine by sitting at my hair-dresser today, is an eye-catcher, to me!

What do you think of it?
