This feature was published in the Vogue Paris August 2006 issue. Despite being aware that those quintessentially French items were put together solely for the purpose of the shoot, I was very much smitten by the selection because it represented everything I wanted my life to be at the time packed in a single Goyard suitcase.
I'm still fascinated with this article because it reminds me of the many "Parisian chic in 10 easy steps" guides, only it's much better. There's a book of Mallarmé's poetry, not to mention the moleskine. They were obviously thrown in for the cool factor, but I also understand them as demonstration that the core of chic — any, not just Parisian — is completely unrelated to what you wear.
See Anna Mouglalis's interview for the perfect example:
What is the last thing you do before departure?
― I promise never to return.
What do you do during the journey?
― I dream.
Do you have a lucky object?
― No.
What is the most extravagant souvenir you've brought back from a holiday?
― I only bring back desires.
With whom would you like to depart?
― I don't know.

the only thing I have from this suitcase is 'agenda moleskin et debardeur blanc petit bateau' I guess everything else is out of my price range :-(
Tres Chic items, I like Mouglalis's answers to the interview!
Happy sweet tuesday, Eva!
And thanks for leaving your sweet comment ;)
Finally it´s here.. your "new" blog!
Hope I´m not wrong ;)
Can´t believe the "parisian chic" photo is already 4 years old. "Chic" is sometimes timeless!!
Wishing you a beautiful day ahead, Eva!!!
Hugs & Kisses to you!

Chic nikoli ni ime zveze z oblekami, torbičkami, cipelami. Si ali nisi;-) To je vse.
J'adore l'éditorial. Parlez vous français, Eva?
Honestly, I after eight years of French, I have mostly lost it. I can still read it, but speaking is pretty much impossible. Learning Japanese these past two and a half years have pretty much kicked French right out of my head.
Je comprende. Je ne parle pas. Zut!
