AFTER THE BEASTS… THE BEAUTIES

(après les bêtes, les belles)

I love the maxi dress with maxi coat

I love the bi-color hair, the blue with the accent on the  bi-color shoes

Maybe a bit too much at first, but because her face is strong she can pull it off.

Love the androgynous look, very elegant, very Lauren Hutton

Victoria Beckham

Walking on sunshine…

In three years Victoria Beckham has established herself as a design force to be reckoned with. For The Whatever The Weather Issue, i-D hooked up with the popstar turned designer to eat cake and discuss her stellar spring/summer 12 collection, LA life, and Harper Seven, the best dressed baby in Hollywood.

“When I started it was all about the corset dress. That’s what people associated me with, and possibly if I’m honest a sign of my own insecurities as well. But the older I get and the more comfortable I am in my own skin, the more I realize that to look great and feel great I haven’t always got to wear something tight.”

“I’ve stood on many a red carpet and been photographed from every angle, so I know how important it is for a dress to be flattering.”

“I don’t follow fashion and I don’t follow trends, I just follow my instincts and think what do I want to wear? What am I feeling for next season?”

Once upon a time….. I was walking in Ebisu when I saw this gorgeous Japanese girl passing me. I stopped her immediately and asked her to enter the Miss Universe Japan 1999 competition. She did!

Fast forward 2 months later….

One of the judges for the final was rock-star and lead-singer of the Duran Duran band: Simon Le Bon. But 2 days before the final Simon unfortunately canceled due to some travel problems. Nick Wood, Simon’s dear friend, business partner and top music producer, replaced him and when he saw Norico on stage his jaws dropped and he felt instantly in love.

Norico.com becomes Norico Wood

Fast forward a few years later, and here they are celebrating their union, their love and their future together. My baby girl is so beautiful, pure, elegant, fascinating in her wedding dress. I am so proud. I love you Norico, you are one of the sweetest on earth, you have a pure heart and a big one.

“If you love someone, let them go. If they return to you, it was meant to be. If they don’t, their love was never yours to begin with…”

Listening the funny stories about Nick by his ex-roommate: supermodel Yasmin Le Bon and super-designer Marc Newson.

Nick has so many funny stories. He is bigger than life, one of the most unique and sincere person on this earth. I do have many funny memories or stories as well, from Tokyo, Dubai….

Yasmin Le Bon is spectacular, simple, fresh, bubbling. I have a lot of admiration for Yasmin. She is pure gold, no wonder so many couple break up but together with Simon, they are still together, loving after a decade. More than 25 years married!

Below Norico is taken to the aisle by Simon, Yasmin’s husband. Norico’s stunning wedding dress is a gift from the couple, sweet!!!!

When two creative genius join force…
