I was so happy at the Bernard Chandran's show because not only were they giving Ferrero Rochers ;-) but also because among the crowd, was the talented Karen Binns, Editor and Publisher of What?! As Creative Consultant, Karen styled Chandran’s Autumn Winter 2010/11 collection.
Not only is Karen the Editor and Publisher of What?! but she's Tori Amos' stylist. And Tori Amos was then a bit among us at this show. What?! was on every seat and featured the beautiful, the amazing, the unique and so smart Tori. I've written about Tori in the past and how inspirational she is. I feel very close to Tori because we share the same references: TOOL and Viktor&Rolf.
She's been in my heart for a long time now and will always be.
"One the cover of this issue we have my long-time friend and sista Tori Amos, which I guess speaks for itself. She is one of the most insanely attractive people of our time: singer, songwriter, producer and a true Goddess. Knowing and hanging out with Tori is like flying on a silver carpet with candied apples and red wine. She has been an inspiration to my creative being for the last 17 years. Tori is the true channeler of our times, her success is not from the size of her wardrobe but from the spirit of her blood. Her Goddess is always on tap.
She was born with that 'thing' you just can't purchase, manipulate or steal - it's orginial without a price. Not forgetting to mention her dedication to her charity/hotline RAINN - Rape, Absue, and Incest National Network (www.rainn.org)" Karen Binns.
The Bernard Chandran's catwalk was very interesting, with plenty of references to the Japanese Noh theatre. Very elegant. The music was also very funny. I am not sure a lot of people understood it. But I did since I am French ! Judge by yourself:
