Bell Du Jour




Twiggy

The Hat of the season for me is the Cloche hat. The cloche, coming from the French word for bell resonates the feminine and luxurious style of the early 20th century. Did anyone use to watch the House of Eliott in the early 90s? My sister and I LOVED IT. It was a BBC programme set in the 1920s about two sisters owning a Haute Couture fashion house. These two stylish ladies were supporters of the Cloche.



I read somewhere that the partial reason that Angelina Jolie was chosen to play the part of Christine Collins in Changeling was because her face emulates the look of the time period. It's so true, she looks beautiful and so suited in the costumes.





Blair Warldorf in Gossip Girl is a serial Cloche wearer. It completely suits her preppy, polished look. I particularly love the grey-cloche-white-coat combo. She looks so sophisticated. Blair is definitely the best dressed Gossip Girl character.
