Who's that Girl; Valentine Fillol-Cordier

For Valentine Fillol-Cordier life is everything but boring. This Paris-born, London-based beauty started modeling at fifteen. With her fresh boyish face and beautiful dreamy eyes she conquered fashion community in a minute. She was a face for brands such as APC, UO and Whistles and one of the frequent faces in magazines such as Nylon, Lula or Purple. After she seduced the photo objectives with a face that slightly reminds of Kate Moss in the 90s, with her style she enchanted many so she began to style editorials and runaway shows. Not only that she became muse of few designers, she is muse of many fashion-obsessed. For Charles Anastase she is not just consultant, stylist and right hand, but also a great friend. And probably his biggest muse; styling of the spring collection was just wonderful, lot of simple garments brought to life through bit of colored details in transparent way. She also styles lookbooks for Charlotte Olympia shoes and is contributing editor of Dossier. Not just the muse of the photographers, seems that video cameras loves her also, so you can see her performance in many short fashion films, act in ad directed by Wes Anderson and dance in rock video. Talking music, for a while this girl was one of the vocals in UK band The Big Pink. Talking friends, if you are visitor of hip places you can see her with Alexa or maybe Tennessee. She is also friend of Skye Parrot, photographer and co-founder of Dossier magazine. And talking style, she knows what she does. She loves menswear that wears in very elegant and feminine way. In a vintage dress and Charlotte Olympia heels she looks like she popped out from some couture show. Elegant, but never too polished, fresh but always bit vintage. I would say Marc Jacobs girl with French manners. And she is not trendy but is inventor of the trends. Not only she was dating Jamie Hince way before Moss even heard for the Kills, she was wearing Charles Anastase Dungeon boots before the Jeffrey came out with the name Lita. When she cut her long messy hair to a bob with bangs in manner of Anna Karina (same haircut had the Charles Anastase spring runaway girls) you can even more feel that French scent. Not to mention she has beauty mark on cheekbone. And yes did I mention she has more polaroids than you and me together… And that from the all interviews with her I read, she sounds like a really quality, smart and self-confident young women. So that makes Valentine the perfect choice for this belated first post in the New Year.

Who's that girl; Tennessee Thomas

You can think of nowadays hip indie kids whatever you want but you must admit many of them have great sense for style. It goes also for Tennessee Thomas, drummer of girl band The Like and daughter of Elvis Costello’s drummer Pete Thomas. This rock infant from indie-royalty cliques (one of the BBFs Alexa Chung and ex boyfriend Mark IT girls-radar Ronson) in teenager years formed a band with two school friends. The Like today has 4 girl members and they intrigue both music and fashion spheres. They were performing at Vena Cava’s fall show, and Zac Posen hired them for short film to promote his collection for Target. (Directed by Gia Coppola, another school pal)
Talking fashion, Tennessee is already a star of the field. Not happens to every girl nowadays that has glasses frame named after her (Charles Anastase oversized Tennessee glasses). Talking modeling she was recently hired by FOREVER 21 for Boutique and with above-mentioned Alexa was star of Wren lookbook. The Lula Mag cosset, which is a frequent face on Lula’s scrapbook, also appeared in a film Spell, collaboration between Topshop and Lula, directed by Maximilla Lukacs and Sarah Sophie Flicker. It’s not strange she is Lula Darling since she has a glance of exact girl from the dreams that popped out from pages of vintage Polaroid editorial.

The rock'n'romantic blond wears loosen mane and bangs that go almost into the eyes in a manner of old school rock star. Her Peter Pan collar dresses look like she spent some time hanging with Marianne Faithfull. And all of the 60s sweetheart romantic dresses and lace items she wears makes you want to delve into her closet. Recently in the Band interview for Refinery29 she stated she has a style of a Beatles fan and that dresses with white collar are her secret style weapon. Sure they are -Just look how she wears them. Details like Saddle shoes, basket bag, heart tights, over knee stockings, tell Tennessee is a girl that knows how to have fun. And apparently it looks like she is dressing up for herself. That is why she is so irresistible-in style.

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.

What Tolula Wears

Short curly hairstyle, body to envy on and the poster of a diva, Tolula immediately catches your eye. Small presence in media for such an exceptional style, you begin to wonder where the girl is hiding? ANSWER is the UK.
Tolula Adeyemi is 25 year old model and aspiring actress (role in Last Chance Harvey and recently has launched own theater company La Teatra, according to vogue uk)
She is face of Lainey Sheridan-Young label Hari and Vivienne Westwood cosset. We love Tolula’s style because it is everything but boring, and doesn’t fail even if she wears metallic blue nail polish or two diverse leopard patterns in the same outfit. Name the person that looks style icon in white chemise dress, leopard heels and hat, all spiced up with big orange clutch. Tolula’s eclectic style no matter she is red carpet walking in astonishing dress or is the pants with little longer blazer, is always put together. Items like orange bag that she turns into the clutch, which seems that she adores (we too), punk bracelets, rings or metallic wedges, just work for ladylike eighties edgy. At the end we all know Vivi has an eye for extraordinary.
That’s why we want more of What Tolula Wears reports.

Who’s that girl

I am sure you did spot her before if you were paying attention on front rows and après parties. She is one of those cool girls that are usually in a party report of those cool mags and with her witty but come–together-outfits she won the hearts of fashionistas over the last years. You must saw the Sophomore Lookbook last year where she modeled along with Cory, Bijou & co for her friend, Chrissie Miller, the designer. If you wear wondering who is the girl that wears perfect red matte lipstick and glossy long brown hair in the manners of indie film star, response is Jen Brill.
Jen is Parson's grad, photography and art agent that works now as Director of New Business Development at Fred & Associates. And she is not one of those hippies hungry for status symbols with rich parents behind her, according to insiders. Brill is a successful business woman that in the same time apparently knows how to wear purple YSL Mary Jane’s and sit in the front row on the Alexander Wang show. Ability to be a bizz and party girl in the same time is the reason why we heart her. Add on that great style and coolness you have a real American edgy style princess. “Everything goes so fast here if you want to be part of it, you have to be one hundred times better than anybody else, otherwise just forget New York, just go live in New Jersey, get married there and have kids”, said Jen for September 08 issue of Jalouse Magazine.

Jen Brill for Vogue China
Though she would manage to earn for living as a model: just take a look at Sophomore book, Vogue editorial or ID-magazine photo shoot. That is what the meaning of the word personality is. At Chanel also spotted that because she is named beauty ambassador of the same, along with Vanessa Traina, Leigh Lezark, Caroline Sieber and Poppy Delavigne. She claimed for few mags she is not fashion addict, but somehow she became inevitable part of the fashion word. Is it because of her boyfriend photographer and according to the rumors her future hubby, famous Terry Richardson, or friends like Chloë Sevigny, Jessica Stam, Genevieve Jones?! That is totally unimportant because Miss Brill earned her status cause whether she is wearing jean shorts and tee on plaid shirt or rocking Chanel or Proenza Schouler, she has style.

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.

Rock-n-Royal

The Ronsons. They are everywhere. I don't care, you can call them Fashion Kennedys or blonde Adams family, whatSOever. They are chic. So we will gossip bit about extended family.
Awfully cute Mark, twins Samantha and Charlotte, for Harper's Baazar photo shoot

Do you know why Lilo is dating Samantha Ronson? To get close to Ronsons. Okay, now misslikey is nasty gossip girl. Don't get mad at me Lilo. I love chic people same as you do.

Ronsons sorority
Olsens, you are just two. Don't be jelaous girls; Numbers are not on your side. Samantha, Charlotte and Annabelle Dexter-Jones are kind of rock-chic-indie sorority. And they are all Ann Dexter-Jones daughters. Now, Say hello to awfully cool mum. Ann Dexter-Jones is absolute NY socialite and rock wife. She kinda has little of curly Carrie but with five kids. Annabelle's last name is not Ronson but that isn't reason to be less chic. For God's sake her dad is Rockstar.

Since we can see samantha-lilo photos daily lets have sneak peak what the rest of sorority is wearing
Charlotte Ronsonon, designer. Don't you adore her style same as I do?

Youngest Annabelle is Charlotte's muse. Misslikey thinks Annabelle rocks. On first photo she is with super cool mummy Ann.

p.s. At first, this post was meant to be only about Charlotte and her new spring summer collection. Everyone adores Charls rock influenced collection. Since misslikey doesn't have enough space for photos you can see collection at fashionweekdaily . What can I say, I just couldn't resist to Ronsons. They kinda remind me of my family. With one of them comes all family in package. I remind my mum all the time; Mum it is not you that's going to prom(when i was 18), mum is not you that is getting married(on my brother's wedding) etc
beyond p.i.s.s. Now misslikey is analysing family trees. What's the next? She is gonna hire private investigator to stalk chic people? Or she should start her own agency.hmmm Misslikey comes out of shadow. Don't you agree it is adorably cute name for detective?!
