Style Icon: Catherine Deneuve

Catherine Deneuve is one of the most beautiful, elegant, and classy actresses of our time!  The French actress is most known for her films; The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) and Belle de Jour (1967). You may also be familiar with Indochine (1994) , The Hunger (1983), and Dancer in the Dark (2000). 

Catherine is still a stunning beauty to this day, but of course I love her look in the 1960's. Her style was and still is very classic, very chic. 

Due to her classic style the eyes always seem to focus on her face and that wonderful hair! 

That face! 

In the 1970's she was the face for Chanel and perfume sales skyrocketed. She was also a muse for designer Yves Saint Laurent and modeled for his skincare line. She has also modeled for L'Oreal, MAC and Louis Vuitton. She is still on the best dressed lists today at the age of 69. 

Retro Looks In The Modern World: Belle De Jour

As much as the modern fashion world looks forward it also continually looks back in time. Here we explore Retro Looks in the Modern World.

Vogue Spain's September Issue takes it cue from the 1967 Luis Bunuel film, Belle De Jour. While no one can replicate Catherine Deneuve, this comes pretty close.

Mid-Week Inspiration: Catherine Deneuve

The new issue of Vanity Fair has come out and on the cover is the very lovely and talented Kate Winslet channeling her best Catherine Deneuve. While Kate looks absolutely stunning, no one can out do Ms. Deneuve. For this week's Mid-Week Inspiration I have chosen two photos from two of my favorite Deneuve films, Les Parapluies de Cherbourg (1964) and Belle de Jour (1967). I love her early 60's look, and the hair in both films is very inspiring.
