In homage to Paris Fashion week, a favourite haunt of Kotur’s and highlight of our season in so many ways, this week’s Three ways to Wear focuses on working a bit of French chic. Be they working some serious high fashion or a boyfriend style tee, the latest runway look or a timeless classic, be they prim and polished or perfectly dishevelled, there’s something about the way these ladies dress that oozes chic every time.
Click through the gallery above of three of our favourite french fashion icons for some handy hints on how to work their looks (clothing details below.)
Carine Roitfeld – The ultimate French Editrix is a master at a sophisticated take on sexy. With a style DNA that relies heavily on pencil skirts, silk blouses and many a statement shoe, hers is a proven look that works a winner every time. (Smokey eyes a must.) (Picture from thesartorialist.com)
Clemence Posey - The french actress, all round ingènue and Chanel catwalk stalwart does youthful and pretty with perfect gallic insouciance. Tough girl boots, messy hair and a touch of couture do the trick. (Picture from glamour.com)
Garance Dorè - The french blogging star is known for her sharp tailored jackets, immaculate pins, way with a pair of flats and tomboy-esque chic. No wonder Stella McCartney is a fan. (Picture Mr Newton at harpersbazaar.com)
