Photos of me again!!! (Just let me know when you get tired of it.)
The beautiful Yasmin Sewell has just launched a collection with Barneys.
She had told me about it in ultra secret mode back when she was working on it and of course, I immediately tweeted her secret to the world – uh, just kidding, but it was pretty difficult for me not to, given how I excited I was for the collection to come out.
You know, I’ve always loved her style – she’s been working in retail for years, she’s got a great eye and a sense for quality – so I knew it would be an exciting collection.
Exciting, but maybe not for me, I thought. Because, as you can see in the photos, Yasmin and I do not have the same body type. I mean, we’re pretty much opposites. And I was convinced that most of the things that make up her style wouldn’t be things I could ever wear.
(Oh, but now she’s pregnant, so our differences have balanced out a bit, huhuhuhu)
I told her that I would never in my life wear a crop top (there are two in her collection) and she promised me that she was going to prove me wrong.
So she came by the Studio in between shows and had me try on her collection.
See, she even made me wear a crop top.
“This was all about proportion, I wanted the skirt to sit high enough on the waist so it really elongated the leg, and the top was designed to pretty much sit perfectly at the high waistband. Again, I was thinking proportion and a slim fit skirt and oversized wide top I think is a great balance. I don’t believe in total body con, it’s gotta be balanced out.” – Yasmin
Ok, let’s not exaggerate. We all have our own body type. We definitely burst out laughing when she tried to have me put on the mini crop top with a tee-shirt underneath – one of her signature outfits, which I promise on the head of Anna Dello Russo, will never become mine.
But the rest of the collection is just as perfect as I imagined. The coats with subtle stripes, the super well-cut pants – everything is really lovely, very Yasmin, but also perfect for everyone.
“Seeing this [coat] on Garance made me very proud, she wears it exactly as I imagined it when I designed it. A lot of the collection was about classic items but I pushed a little with fabric and colour. This coat will hang off a lot of women, of any age or shape, but in aqua alpaca stripe it goes somewhere else. I think its still super effortless to wear.” – Yasmin
I love it when my friends do great work like that. I hope you’ll like it just as much as I do.
And tomorrow, a video of me riding a horse naked on the beach!!! IN SLO MO!!!
No, just joking.
Kisses!

Je crois que c’est la 1ère fois que tu dévoiles ainsi tes bras aussi, non?
Tu es rayonnante!
Ma Garance you look amazing in the blue jacket !!this is not an easy color to wear but for you it’s wonderful ,i love also soft color for you like different creme ,white,camel….although black is my favorite color ..i find it is not your best color….anything you wear becomes elegant because of you!!!
Yasmine collection is wonderful good luck for her:)

Je me suis faite exactement la même réflexion que Anne. J’ai l’impression que c’est la première fois que je vois tes bras.
Eh bien tu devrais les dévoiler plus souvent, ce haut sans manches te va à ravir. Beaucoup d’élégance avec ces cheveux courts qui dégagent la nuque !
Bon et sinon comme d’hab hein tu es canon sur ces photos, je te trouve de plus en plus belle avec ta nouvelle coupe : une femme à la fois séduisante et pétillante ;)
Great post and you look perfect with that hairstyle. xa

Such lovely pictures!
http://sheseeksadventure.wordpress.com
Très jolies silhouettes, effectivement, quand je regarde des photos de toi, je me dis que cette coupe est devenue ta signature.
I can’t even begin to explain how beautiful I think you are :)
I never tire of seeing you, Garance, on your website. Your style, exuberance and delightful personality is what makes your blog extraordinaire!
Aaah love that coat!And Garance you should post photos of yourself more often! You are so beautifull :)
i am super in love with her and her style. whenever i can’t figure out what to wear in the morning, i do a pinterest search for her and it gets my creative juices going. :) i think what i like best is that her style is creative but it’s also somehow relatable – you can see her wearing a particular pair of shoes over and over in different ways, certain colors that show up again and again, and you see her doing various riffs on certain silhouettes. it inspires me to find things that are “me” and can be done in a whole lot of ways. i don’t have to reinvent the wheel every season. thank you for featuring her here!! xoxo
Radieuse! Comme la couleur de ce manteau celeste si adorable!

wow, you look great in that brown crop top with the high waist skirt and the booties !!!! very chic indeed, you own that outfit !!! besos !!!!
La” vest” bordeaux cintrée sleeveless est magnifique et met en valeur la silhouette de manière épurée( less is really more), et sur toi Garance, on a envie de tout. Les vêtements semblent bien construits et “tombent” bien avec de belles matières. Très flatteurs .
J’ai été voir sur le site Barneys…tu les portes mieux que le mannequin du site:-)
great job Yasmin Sewell.!
waiting for tomorrow! ;)

What a gorgeous collection. The coat looks great on Garance.
Garance – I really love seeing photos of you on the blog. It’s so good to see the face that goes with the (written) voice.
Ces photos sont superbes et semblent si naturelles !

Garance, we love seeing photos of you. Don’t ever expect us to get tired of them :)
Justement ma tenue préférée est celle avec la jupe et le crop top, ça te va super bien ! Elle a l’air belle cette collection.

Ne t’inquiète pas Garance, nous on aime les photos de toi, surtout quand tu es si radieuse !! La collection a effectivement l’air top, en tous cas tu assures en modèle ;)

Moi je dis, encore plus de Garance :)
tu es trop trop chou sur toutes ces photos, c’est gai et pétillant et entrainant !! Encore ! :D
You look beautiful Garance!! And Yasmin. Great photos :)
Those olive green suede pumps are fantastic!
Elle assure ta copine ! Même le cropped top a l’air pas mal…
Great pieces.
Also…wanted to say that you look BEAUTIFUL! You are radiating this light. Love the hair growing out and the lighter shade. You wear it all so well.
I love the photos, you look fantastic. I loved the coats and the black skirt and top-so I jumped online to see if I could purchase. Sadly everything is out of my budget but I love the collection!
You are amazing in the blue coat!
I’ve been dreaming about that navy coat for over a month now… *sigh*

I love the intimacy and connection that you can feel in these pictures, part of dressing up is sharing the joy and playfulness in this ancient ritual that women have shared throughout the ages and across the world. It is a way to celebrate and nourish and display what true womanhood is.
Parfaitissimement parfait :) j’ai même vu de jolies bottines ;)
Et le manteau bleu ! Vavavoum !!!!
L’ensemble jupe+top cropped est canon!
Tu es resplendissante sur ces photos Garance ! Et ca donne envie de porter des ravissants vêtements.
Garance, on ne se lasse pas de te voir! Surtout pour présenter avec autant d’enthousiasme la collection d’une amie talentueuse! :) Les manteaux sont effectivement superbes, le bleu turquoise change des couleurs habituelles de l’hiver.
Never heard of Yasmin Sewell before but what a discovery! And I couldn’t agree more that it is all about proportions…
Non mais ces photos sont géniales !!! (surtout la première d’ailleurs !). Et puis les chaussures sont d’une splendeur sans nom !
http://www.pardonmyobsession.com/
hors de prix mais absolument magnifique !
Do you know where from is her spike necklace ? It’s such an amazing piece !
Comment ça vous n’avez pas du tout le même physique? Moi je ne vous trouve pas si différentes! Et en quoi le fait qu’elle soit enceinte “rétablit l’équilibre”? Garance, tu te sens si “ronde” que ça pour te comparer à une femme enceinte?
I so like the simplicity of design! :) Looking great G!

Eh bien voilà! Garance a besoin d’une personnal stylist.
OK je veux toute la collection! Ok je fais du 44!! Ok dis moi que j’ai pas besoin de prendre n billet pour NY pour les achetet! Ok je sors….
Never tire of photos of you! (You’re “realer” to many of us than models)
Dear Garance, I never tire of looking at beautiful images like these. Here´s my perfect tune of the week for your next session ;) http://www.fairaporter.com/post/97879518124
Have a lovely friday night, Alex
Moi j’adoooore voir Garance en photo, non non on n’en a pas marre !!!
Garance, Yasmin was right, you look amazing in every outfit! On me, on the other hand… Crop tops do not work for petite Asian women with hips and a booty!
Yasmin, the fabric and drape look divine! Congratulations!
