STATE OF PERSONALITIES

ONE LOOK ONE SONG

Mykki Blanco - Performer, rapper & poet

@ Place Gustave Toudouze - Paris

His Look : I was very intrigued to bump into Mikky without his famous wig so I have barely recognized him. But you can't walk by him without noticing his sharp fashion sense. He told me wearing all "PIgalle Paris" clothes.

If you want to look amazing like Mykki : https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pigalle-Paris/108050522594442

This californian born trans gendered entertainer is really one musician to watch for 2014 - if you have never listened to his music before, please do  it now!

His underground work is powerful and surprising - as his choice of favorite song (I didn't expect at all that a rapper as Mykki will love listening David Crosby).

But I guess his uniqueness comes from his very different influences.

His song : What are their names - David Crosby

Constance Jablonski - French super star 

@ Paris - rue Etienne Marcel

Her look : Another Victoria's angel on SOP! I know some boys who'll be jealous of me! Anyway it was nice to meet Constance, french super model who made a major break into the industry 3 years ago. She is the reference for each young starting models, as her career is like the example to follow.

I wanted to ask her some tips to share them with you, but she didn't have time (actually she didn't even let me ask! haha) to answer to my questions, she was in a hurry for another job!

- Too bad for us - 

I love her elegant look - with a simple jean and rocky leather boots - and please look at her her AMAZING and cosy coat. Just want to live in it!!

Before picturing her, she told me listening to MS MR on repeat, a new pop band who's, like her, full of success. Cool mix!

Her song : Hurricane - MS MR

Carol Lim - Opening Ceremony Founder & Kenzo Fashion Designer

@ Paris - rue Etienne Marcel

Her Look : How lucky I am running into Carol Lim during my lunch break! The whole story is, as I am such a groupie, I have waited 20 min for her while she was shopping at Bonpoint. I couldn't miss the opportunity to have her on SOP.

I think fashion is much more interesting since she (& Humberto Leon) have created Opening Ceremony 10 years ago. By constantly looking for new trends and hot designers, they really bring a new atmosphere in this world, more casual, so LA cool attitude. 

They have also created a new era for Kenzo, a brand which nobody had any interest in 2 years ago.

They are not only fashion designers, but real creative people with strong and great personalities.

This is what Carol's look is telling us. She looks very casual but so fresh and edgy in the meantime - she is obvisouly wearing THE print of the season : "Kenzo eye".

Her favorite band is as eclectic as her work is - and had written addictive songs as Kenzo prints could be.

Her Song : Somebody - Depeche Mode

King Krule (& a very annoying fan who ruined my picture) - Romantic punk poet

@ Trabendo - Paris

His Look : 6 feet Beneath the moon is one of the better thing which happens to the music industry this year. Archy Marshal alias Zoo Kid alias Joe the Beatmaker and alias King Krule is such full of talent- and seems to have live almost 10 different lives - that sometimes you can forgot this charismatic songwriter just turned 19.

Because of this f**** (sorry…) fan, you can't really see that King Krule is a truly Londonian - from the top (redhead) to the bottom (camo jacket, chested shirt, vintage pants, sneakers). But trust me, when you are hearing him speaking (and singing by the way), nobody could say that he's coming from anywhere else than UK. He actually grew up in Peckam - londonian artistic birthplace.

His music is kind of a shock each time I listening to it - It is so unpredictable coming from a skinny teenager.

So I was really curious to know what was the song which Archy has been obsessed with and what artist he has been admired to and I am sure you too.

You can thank SOP - Here it is :

His Song : Forever - Pete Drake

Emily Didonato - Super Model 

@ Paris - Rue Etienne Marcel

Her Look : Do I really have to introduce her? Acqua di Gio and Maybelline gorgeous face, Victoria's secret super angel - Emily Didonato is THE girl of the moment.

No wonder why she dated one of THE guy every girl dream of : Jake G. 

Her look is simple and sweet as she is. She is one of the 50 most paid model in the industry and still smiling - how can that be possible! 

I am sure it is thanks to the song she told me listening to it every day - Stubborn Love. Relaxing and romantic, there is no other song which could perfectly match with Emily's personality

Her song : Stubborn Love - The Lumineers

James Blake - Electronic music artist - Founder of 1-800 Dinosaur

@ Paris - Le trianon - October 14th 2013

His look : A very classic look for this fresh mercury prize winner. James is not into fashion, actually he really doesn’t need to. He’s a real genius, and had created a new way of doing and listening to music.

The show at the Trianon was one of the most intense moment of my entire life.

James also has a typical english sense of humor - down on my knees to take a picture of him (he is so tall!!) he told me “Are you going to ask me to marry you?” Haha - I secretly wish!!

One of his inspiration is Joni Mitchell - he even did a cover of one her song (A Case of You) - so no wonder why he picked a song from this amazing folk canadian singer.

His song : Roses Blue - Joni Mitchell

Tilda Lindstam - Established Model

@ Paris Fashion week - Vanessa Bruno Backstage FW12 - Palais de Chaillot

Her Look : Do you recognize this swedish girl? Back in 2012, it was one of her first season - Total classic black look but she still looked so cool  

I knew that she was a face to watch.

With a far-away look,  she might think about her favorite song lyrics - hoping that she is going to be the new supermodel (and she will! - last season she scored 29 shows - congrats Tilda!)

Her song : Girl, you’ll be a woman soon - Neil Diamond

Noah Shelley & Angus Munro - Casting Directors (AM Casting)

@ Paris fashion week - Backstage Kenzo SS14 - Cité du Cinéma

Their Look : Aviator Jacket, suede boots for Noah. Classic sweater, sneakers for Angus. Two different personalities but the same motto :

- "if you can't laugh during fashion week, good luck and god bless"- (another mag interview)

These two guys always find THE girl who will break out the fashion season, their work is way ahead of the trend.

I am sure they find inspiration by listening, the Talking Heads, mostly known for being an "avant garde"punk rock band. 

Their song : Take me to the river - The Talking Heads

Leigh Lezark - DJ / Model / It-girl

@ Paris Fashion Week - Kenzo SS14

Her look : Total look = Kenzo. Life is pretty easy as an it-girl, everyone wants you to wear their clothes, juts have to get pictured and look great in it.

When I have asked for her favorite song ever, she was like:

" I can't have one, I am a DJ" - (ok, sorry Leigh)

so I have asked for her favorite song of the moment and she obvisouly picked one of the most hip electro band.

Do you want to know what is hot in the music industry now? Follow Leigh lead!

Her song - When a fire starts to burn - Disclosure

Aaron de Mey - Make up artist

@ Paris Fashion Week - Backstage Kenzo SS14 - Cité du Cinéma

His Look : Sneakers, leather pants and jean jacket is Aaron basic look for running around during fashion weeks. I am sure he got that look from 90's punk rock band.

- BTW, his favourite band is Smashing Pumpkins -

But what I love the most are his long blond dyed hair! 

Aaron is one of my favorite artist. Look how serene he is whereas everyone is acting like crazy - backstage.

Fashion world should only be people like him!

His song : 1979 - Smashing pumpkins
