At La Boutique, we'll always have Paris

Star-spangled style

Ever since its launch in 2011, local fluffy fashion brand La Boutique has been making sure their dainty and plume-loving girls get their foo-foo fix.

This season, the star-stamped label will take you to the fashion capital of the world: 50s Paris. A monochrome palette that echoes the classic, timelessness of Le Baiser De L'Hôtel De Ville (The Kiss By L'Hôtel De Ville), the legendary black and white photograph by Robert Doisneau, provides one of the sources of inspiration for creative director Patcharawat "To" Trakansantikul.

Although La Boutique is something of an authority with regards fluffiness and feathers, one trait you can always hope to see in their clothes is vintage with a modern interpretation. The shapes and silhouettes in this collection, "La Nouvelle Parisienne", are fitted at the waist, but flaunt pumped-up volumes at the shoulders, wrists, elbows and hips to highlight the sensuality and opulence in a woman's physique. As can be expected, there are feathers, crystal beads and star-shaped motifs galore, which add more dimension and texture to the tweed fabric. If you've always admired Chanel's signature tweeds, what La Boutique does with this elegant fabric is put a lot of stars and sparkle on it. The tweeds are used in the jumpsuits, dresses, skirts and hot pants, but if you want to leave people starry-eyed, there's also a line of humongous star accessories and star and Moon-printed fabrics. Do anything but wear the latter two together, unless you want to look like a walking nebula. Even with all the borderline excessive feathers and in-your-face earrings and necklaces, it's harder to go wrong with this collection than it has been with the previous, thanks to the all-white and black colour scheme. These two shades work magnificently with all skin tones and are also able to encompass any lifestyle and occasion.

Signature bags, Stardust and Mystique, are the items which are now available in new metallic shades. To complete your star-themed outfit, don't forget the star-shaped Stardust shoulder purse. Made from genuine cowhide, the leather is adorned with symmetrical star-shaped stitches and constructed with double layers for extra durability. For something to break the galaxy clutter, opt for the Mystique purse, a book-shaped leather purse with letter embossing, gold rims and metallic trimming to resemble a book cover. 

La Nouvelle Parisienne is available at the La Boutique Flagship Store in CentralWorld and La Boutique Corner in Siam Paragon, Level 1.
