Who's that girl: Anastasia Barbieri

On first you might mistake Anatasia Barbieri for movie star from the seventies; natural beauty with brown, silky hair below the shoulder, perfect face contours and Annie Hall meets Lauren Hutton in Paris style. Though she could be a movie star, she is one of the Carine's girls; part of the enormously talented clique of infants which every month allure us with cognizable style on the French Vogue paper. Well, we all know that Vogue Paris paper smells different and that Carine girls are all very pretty. Barbieri also, with the superb eye for the fashion. In the past years she had built envious portfolio as stylist; she is Vogue Paris mode editor also as fashion editor-in-chief in Vogue Hommes International. She contributes in Vogue Nippon, Korean and German Vogue, V Magazine, Harper's Baazar, Ten and many others...back in the days she also did styling work for Dutch Magazine.You must had spotted some of the admirable editorials she styled in (thank you Lord) politically incorrect Paris Vogue. No matter if she is dressing up the Femme Fatale or Countryside Girl they both have a dose of strong, sophisticated sexiness and mysterious romance. While even most flaring outfits have a frail and loose vibe (see Cherchez La Femme Diane K,The Princess Diary, Furry Friend or White Russian in Vogue Nippon, 30 avenue de Montaigne) in styling men editorials she plays with macho on some new level (see Rose Foudre in Vogue Hommes International).

 In fact you can feel how both masculine and feminine are influence on each other in her work.

Besides editorial work, she does consultancy for many fashion house and styles ad campaigns (for Alessandro Dell'Acqua, Givenchy, D&G, Costume National, Kenzo, Cacharel).

Taking part in LENY Project by Mariela Gamboa and with work on NOIR, Danish fashion clothing line with conscience as consulting stylist along with photographer Marc Hom, proves that Anastasia except talent has awareness and sense. And her style: that's a subject for itself. And subject spotted by many street style blogs like Garance or Sartorialist. She seems to adore suits with made to measure glance but she stays very casual. Like in her work she balances items like very power pantsuit or even formal three-piece suit in very fragile , feminine way. Sometimes she breaks masculinity with elegant heels or ballet pumps, blouse or silk scarf. And sometimes is just her lovely face and hair.

Except adorned by street style snappers- she and Giovanna Battaglia look so good together on common photos- maybe cause Barbieri is raised in Italy (she was born in Croatia), recently Meredith Melling Burke in Vogue.com Most Wanted made a feature about Anastasia's tailored menswear look. Oh Boy. Let's say if somebody is supposed to learn us how to wear tuxedo I am very glad that person is Anastasia.

coup de foudre in fashion world; Clemence Poesy

When it comes to front rows and the mingling around fashion outs and abouts, there is always some girl that outshines with her IN-Style. And all the cool papers instantaneously follow ˝What She Wears˝ like her private parade. With so many IT-girls you cannot blame fashion journalist and photographers of the social events if sometimes they forgot some name or distinguish them at all. Designers, muses to the same, photographers, models, musicians and various artists; many of them have great personal-with signature-In -style
Britain with real promenade of ˝bad˝, rebellious it girls with vivid lifestyle has always present duo Miller-Moss. In France, where competition may be even tougher (Traina, Gainsbourg,Fillol-Cordier, Dillon, De la Baume) Clémence Poésy with exceptional and sophisticated style rapidly have become darling of fashion press. Besides that every fashionista in industry knows her name, even many of the ones-not-in knowledge can remember charming Fleur with more charming French accent from Harry Potter. Accent was for the purposes of the movie, she states.
The style that is not connected with edginess, today, hardly can be IN-style or can make IT girl out of girl. Still, Clémence Poésy is Fashion Lovely even if only thing edgy is cigarette in her hand when posing at fashion objectives.


You can notice immediately French heritage when she wears delicate blouse or very feminine little jacket on very masculine men’s shoes. Or from the fact she didn’t deserve status of fashion icon by wearing designer bags and dresses, but having the knowledge of being chic in just pair of jeans.
This serious actress, that had many roles in British and French movies and TV shows, somehow can fit in stereotype of chic Parisian actress that lives in apartment with polaroids on the wall and books on the coffee table while enjoying in the glass of wine and slice of dark chocolate before sleep.
Clémence, that kissed Colin Farell as Chloë in In Bruges and was the face of Chloé fragrance with Anja Rubik and our another fashion boo-boo Chloë Sevigny, started acting when she was 14. She told Olivier Zahm for Interview Magazine that the fact she wasn’t popular in school was good for her because ˝You have to encourage people not to give in to the temptation to be normal, even if it isn't easy--because when you're young, you really want to belong.˝ The girl that wasn’t in front row in clique of popular girls in the school, today is regular guest in front rows at Chanel, Chloé and Balenciaga.
And it is not just the matter of many Chanel quilts that are slipping off her shoulders or fact she poses Chloé Sally tote, what we likey about Clémence Poésy is her settled style and at the end romance in her outfits even when she flirts with classic masculine pieces.
