From 15 October to l8 Feb. 2007, Grand Hornu Images will present an exhibition of haute couture bijoux curated by Florence Muller and Patrick Sigal. The 700 + collection includes pieces on loan from the couture houses: Chanel, Ungaro, Lanvin, Valentino, Mugler, Lacroix or Dior along with loans from private collectors.

I was speaking with Florence Muller after the press conference when someone asked Florence who designed her dress. I think that she credited Dior for Redoute. Redoute being the French catalogue with price points much the same as H & M. It is perfectly of our times, isn’t it? Couture jewels with catalogue clothes, the shoes came from Redoute as well.Before leaving I was informed that Tim Blanks formerly of Fashion Files has now left CBC after close to two decades, lost 30 pounds and will now be the new host for Style.com’s internet tv. All praise to the internet and Congratulations Tim.
Later, Diane
