Like promised last week, I'll share a couple of fun snippets of my findings from Maria Callas' letters and memoirs this week. It has definitely been interesting to discover Callas' thoughts in different eras of her life, and I think she has a very fun and beautiful way of expressing herself...

What would you think it feels like to be in Maria Callas' shoes? I'm beginning to get some sort of an idea of it now that I'm re-reading her letters and memoirs in French. I read most of the 598-paged book last year, but now I felt like going through meticulously every word of the book...

This week I’m reporting from an exhibition called Vestologie that is on display under the beautiful 19th century dome of the Printemps department store on the Boulevard Haussmann. 'Vestologie' refers to the French word "veste" that I now understand...

Alas, Paris Fashion Week has come to an end!  It's been quite a busy week, even though I haven't been really involved with the Fashion Week itself. I've mostly been watching some recordings of the shows and admiring some pictures of them...

Last week I delved into a couple of things that came to my mind during my visit to the Musée des Arts décoratifs, but I feel that there's still something more to the idea of the "Parisienne" that we can expand on and explore. To refresh our memory...

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of paying a visit to the Musée des Arts Décoratifs to see an exhibition called: "The Birth of Department Stores. Fashion, design, toys, advertising. 1852-1925." I've been wanting to go there for a couple of months already...

I cannot explain how inspired I feel right now! It's actually been a while since I've last had this strong of a feeling of inspiration – and it's wonderful and envigorating. You guessed it by the title of this email, my source of inspiration at the moment is the one and only Ralph Lauren...

This week I'd like to just make a friendly reminder that also serves as a note to self: if you're buttoning a shirt without a mirror, it's useful to check if you buttoned the buttons correctly!

This week I got to visit some bigger antique fairs with my parents for the first time in France – and it was a fun experience! In addition to finding me a new coffee table, I happened to find a very stylish old photo from a stack of random photos that one of the salesmen had on his table...

It’s been quite a while! I’ve had an intensive, but wonderful spring with my art history courses at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, and now it’s time to look for new adventures.🤓
