When I like something in terms of fashion or appearance, I tend to stick to it obsessively for a time. I’ve never really had fashion idols but I do get inspired by movies, people, art, and life in general.

In 2008, when Styloholic made a apiece about me, I was obsessed with my riding boots and my riding pants. I remembered the shop girl asked how long I’ve been riding. “Well, I don’t. I just love the clothes”, I answered. I asked her what she thought of my look and her answer was ” Well, it looks like you’re going riding.”  oh, ok. Thanks.
I walked all over New York with my equestrian knee-high boots ( which were horrible to break in because they were made for riding support and not strolling  on cobble stones..). Nowadays, everyone and their grandmother has a pair of riding-inspired  rain boots, but it still love my pleaded riding pants.

So maybe I should get to my current, and somewhat un-orthodox, inspiration du jour: A 12-yeard old fictional  kick-ass girl named Mathilda. Yes, Nathalie Portman’s character from Leon. Luc Besson is my all-time favorite Director ( ALL TIME), I love Jean Reno, and Nathalie Portman used to be amazing.

So, I bought my bomber jacket at Uncle Sam’s on 8th street, I’m saving out my hair to cut it like hers, and I got my Dr. Martens. OK so maybe they’re a little to flower me happy, but hey.

Magali Guidasci was the costume designer. I looked her up and she’s done a bunch of movies, but nothing as good, in my opinion, as Leon.

I can’t get over how much I love what she did with Nathalie’s , and Jean’s, clothes for this film.
