Style icon: Sophie Marceau in "Anthony Zimmer"

I've been featured in Žurnal's article about fashion bloggers along with Ekoas. If your Slovenian skills are adequate, check it out. :)


Anthony Zimmer opens with a shot of Sophie Marceau walking in rain in Chanel heels. This aesthetically captivating image is not only the beginning of a film, but also an introduction to sheer fashion genius.

When I first saw it, I was very taken with how well Sophie's (we're totally on a first name basis) character's style corresponded with my sartorial likes. It consists of simple but very effective color palettes and not many accessories, allowing clothes to speak for themselves.

As she spends most of the time traveling, her outfits are very no-nonsense and practical. She doesn't wear heels when she doesn't have to and the only thing that really stands out is her men's IWC watch.





LOOK #1




The red shirt drapes in a way that reminds me of Yohji Yamamoto, but I doubt it's actually Yamamoto — the hems are finished.





LOOK #2




In her universe sunglasses don't protect eyes from the sun. They build walls.





LOOK #3




What else but loose clothes do you wear at the French riviera in summer, anyway?

I just got back from the French Riviera... Summer still has to wait. I know the movie and loved the heels' scene. She is scrumptious and so incredibly sensual!
