November 24, 2009 2:50 pm
Ce n’est pas juste: Not only do French women not get fat—so we hear, at least—but the lucky ladies also seem to be able to pull off outfits no Upper East Side social could even dream of. Take Leonor Scherrer. The daughter of couturier Jean-Louis Scherrer and object of Riccardo Tisci’s affection (”I’m completely in love with her,” Givenchy’s creative director has said. “For me, she represents France in all senses: the elegance, the aristocracy, the darkness”) wore the designer’s long, lean column dress to a charity dinner in Paris last night. It’s the head wrap that really sets Scherrer’s look apart, though. Who else but a French fille, we ask, could make a pashmina look like a prop from an Ingres painting? Do you like the look?

As you say, it works beautifully on one very specific type of woman: french aristocratic.

Now, what do to do about it…
By NotMod on 11/25/09 at 5:10 amOh, I’m completely agree with Givenchy’s crative director. I can only add that her look is elegance and ironic at the same time.
By bronni on 11/25/09 at 12:29 pmAt least she doesn’t look as a clone of Rachel Zoe’s clients.
I think her dress should be more colorful or have some embroidery.
By futurefashionzoey on 11/27/09 at 11:01 amLeonor Scherrer, as was exclaimed by Tisci, is a beacon of elegance and darkness. Her look in this particular photo exudes this beauty and mystery - with the headgear, I can’t think of a better way to wear this gorgeous gown.
