a little more about Ines


  

A model for Chanel in the '80s, wife and mother, author, and representative for the lovely Roger Vivier shoe line and now a collection creator for Uniglo

".... people kept bringing up Parisian style ( so often ) that I started to think about it, to wonder if there was something to it, and that’s how I ended up with this reputation for being the ultimate Parisian. I didn’t choose it, but I’m very proud of it. But I think there are a lot of preconceptions. For example, there is this idea that elegance means wearing high-heeled shoes, a hat and gloves. Whereas in fact, wearing sneakers with more sophisticated pants, or mixing day and evening wear, slightly unexpected things — that’s what’s really interesting. But it’s never elegant to be too self-conscious. And when I see myself described as a fashion icon, it’s flattering, but it also makes me smile. The other day, for example, I went to the Chanel show and everyone was asking where I got my jacket. I had bought it from a mail order catalog."  ( from an interview in Womens Wear Daily)

we are calling this " life wear "

These dresses are perfect for all the things you do.  Shopping everywhere in Nashville, taking family and friends to brunch or lunch, or those days you have plans after work.  As the days warm these dresses are going to feel wonderful.
