The heroine of the new material, the designer of the French brand with a 10-year history of American Retro Laure Parient, shows us his collection of vintage Chanel and Hermès bags and things of his favorite French brands like Filles à Papa.
American Retro shirt and jacket, Filles à Papa skirt, American Apparel stockings, Birkenstock sandals, Jade Jagger rings, gift, Van Cleef & Arpels
This is my typical everyday outfit, I am comfortable in such clothes, and this is the most important thing. The jacket, by the way, is from my joint collection with the classics of Schott leather jackets: it is made from a mixture of patent leather and sheepskin. I do not take off Birkenstock sandals all year long for many years in a row: in the summer I wear them barefoot, in the winter I wear them with tights or socks. I like to wear a lot of rings at the same time and paint the nails in different colors. Here is a noteworthy ring from Jade Jagger's first jewelry line, followed by an Art Deco ring from the 1930s, which was bought at Dary's on Rue Saint-Honoré. A small ring with black and white diamonds is a gift from her husband during the last trip to Lake Como. Lucky Clover - Van Cleef & Arpels.
Sweater vintage, scarf from nanny, Topshop jeans, Nike sneakers
Zooy is boned up and down at Bonpoint, and also in Nike sneakers: she loves to combine girlish things with something more masculine. Dean is my third child, and he is crazy about Mickey Mouse. I am here in ordinary casual clothes, in which it is ideal to go with children to some cool museum to see the exhibition. I found a sweater in Portobello and changed it for myself; I got my favorite floral scarf from a babysitter, she comes from Russia. I like it, reminds of all my matryoshka female friends from Moscow. Air Max I carry since childhood, now I have a small collection: the most rare are from 1999.
Top and jumpsuit American Retro, Valentino shoes
I looked at this combination with my good friend Mimi Xu: she was in it during our last visit to Moscow in October. I adore shoes, they give each bow something patsanskoe.
T-shirt Filles à Papa, vintage cardigan, Zara skirt, Stella McCartney shoes, Hermès bag
This is a schoolgirl's bow. The main thing in it - a cardigan in a cage with Portobello. Ankle boots look as if they are difficult to wear, but in fact they are the most comfortable shoes in the world. Kelly is my real passion, I collect vintage. This 1954 is in very good condition.
Jacket Filles à Papa, Comme des Garçons shirt, YSL tie, Levi's vintage skirt, Kenzo shoes, Chanel vintage bag
I like to wear tie with tights! I took the YSL tie from my husband, and these tights - Topshop. Skirt bought on Portobello for Zoe, but I wear it myself. Black and white Kenzo adore, they are so comfortable and look like men's shoes.
Acne shirt, Charvet bowtie, Céline pants, Valentino shoes, Chanel bag
So you can go to the theater! Notice that the Chanel bag adds to this vintage look.
Cape shirt and Maison Martin Margiela booties, Isabel Marant for H & M pants, YSL clutch, Lanvin necklace
Ninja boots from a very limited series, the most fashionable address is written on the clutch, and the necklace is the coolest Lanvin. My kids collect Coca-Cola bottles from the Colette Water Bar, and I collect Bearbricks toy bears. I buy them in different parts of the world, and I have a story with everyone.
American Retro Sweatshirt, Filles à Papa Skirt, American Apparel Socks, Converse Sneakers
I call this bow Supercool, in a print on a sweatshirt from my spring-summer collection. I combine with a skirt in sequins and vintage sneakers, which I have slightly changed in my own way.
All vintage, Balenciaga shoes
Such a bow will be in my suitcase when I gather in Los Angeles or Tokyo. A hat, a T-shirt with Mickey Mouse, a plaid shirt and shorts are my finds from vintage fairs around the world, and boots are Balenciaga.
American Retro Jumpsuit, Cartier Watch, Gianvito Rossi Shoes
So you can go to a wedding with friends or any special event. The jumpsuit is very feminine, but at the same time a bit masculine due to the cut.
Hermès Kelly bag
Maroon - the first in the collection.
Bag Chanel Boy
She was supposed to be in my wardrobe! It combines white and black, and this gives it added value.
Bag Céline
I chose a bag of a classic silhouette in an unusual color. I take it when you need to complement the outfit with bright color.
Balenciaga shoes
These shoes are my best.
Kenzo shoes
They are just great.
Topshop Ankle Boots
White shoes are the must-have of this winter.
American Retro x Liberty London Shoes
When I put on shoes from my collection with Liberty London prints, I feel that all the jungle is on my feet.

They are like sports, but go to any outfit.

Chanel pearls are always with me.
Topshop and Sergio Rossi Love Rings, Jade Jagger Earrings
The ring wears a daughter, earrings - again, from the collection of Jade Jagger.

A beautiful vintage necklace from the 1930s found at auction.
Necklace with Ibiza
A typical decoration for those places.
