A NEW FASHION FEDERATION IN FRANCE
A few weeks ago, there was a rumor about the creation of a new Federation of Fashion Designers which would compete with the French Chambre Syndicale of Couture in France!
The new Federation of Independent Fashion Designers would be controlled by funds from several countries. At the moment, the new Federation does not want to communicate on it.
Our investigation remains to this day in the most total blur. However, we can say that this new Federation has been raising hundred million euros, and already some famous brands and designers wish to become member once the Federation will be Continue reading
BALMAIN GOES WEST
Yesterday, we discovered this picture; a black & white ambiance which is the quintessence of the BALMAIN brand. On the photo we can see the most famous couple and most controversed on the planet : Kim Kardashian and Kanye West! The couple dressed in black is kissing.
A photograph was posted on the instagram account of the American reality show star. One thing is certain: the beautiful brunette knows how to handle his com and we doubt that this photo was unveiled by chance or by mistake … Continue reading
NEGLIGE BY LOUBOUTIN
The Parisian shoe designer has teamed up with American burlesque star Dita Von Teese on a new capsule collection. The seven-piece line includes a bra, bodice and suspenders, all featuring black lace and an all-over print designed by Louboutin, and also decorated with red Swarovski crystals.
The print includes Rococo style scenes with sexy burlesque dancers, French maids and male lovers draped in sheets, as well as Louboutin’s famous red soled shoes, of course.
Burlesque overlaps in meaning with caricature, parody and travesty, and, in its theatrical sense, with extravaganza, as presented during the Victorian era. “Burlesque” has been used in English in this literary and theatrical sense since the late 17th century Continue reading

BERNARD ARNAULT IMPRESSED
Today, we met Bernard Arnault at the new Trade show “Mes Créateurs Joailliers” in Paris downtown. After having lunched at “Le Coste” place St-Germain des Près, with his family he decided to have a glance at the fine Jewellery exhibition held at the Palais de l’Industrie.
Myrtille Mousson, who is the organiser, was quite impressed for the first edition of her show to meet the Magna of the Luxe. After an instant of panic she guided Monsieur Arnauld and explained to him why it lead her to organise such a show.
Monsieur Arnault found that some of the jellewery designers were very Continue reading
H & WANG
The moment we’ve all been waiting for is almost here: Alexander Wang’s H&M collaboration is this close to being released (the 61-piece collection officially hits stores on Nov. 6), and in in his typical, teasing fashion, the designer has now released an interactive video, showing his stylish clothes in action.
In the video-game-inspired ad, we’re able to spot a few of our favorite models — Joan Smalls, Natasha Poly, Raquel Zimmermann, and Isabeli Fontana — along with soccer player Andy Carroll — run, jump, and ball their way through a blizzard. Watch them all do their thing in the minifilm below, then scroll through to see the line, set to retail between $10 to $350, in full.
We have to say, with all this excitement and buildup to the big day, our wallets might be in for a workout, too. Karl Lagerfeld go out throught this body.
SAILING IN PARIS
Shared between bewilderment and enthusiasm, last Friday visitors flocked to visit the building of the Louis Vuitton Foundation whose access was free for three days. Some 25,000 reservations were recorded for these open days, according to the foundation. A mixed public of retired persons, families, tourists and some architects explored the building with glass walls in the Bois de Boulogne.
Despite plans distributed in the lobby, visitors found sometimes difficult to find their way and were guided by the Foundation staff. “We do not yet know if we like the building. It is strange to have such a convoluted outside and square rooms inside the Continue reading

GALLIANO IS BACK
Finally, John is back, and this time it’s true ! After a pit stop at Oscar de la Renta, John Galliano is back in fashion at Martin Margiela, to everyone’s surprise. In fact since that announcement, the blogger and social media have asked me the coherance of this nomination. I keep repeating the same thinks (a talented designer can do anything, and a talented designer should be pluridisciplinary), like Karl as photograph, Jean Mouclier at Cartier’s, Serge Mansau as the designer of perfumes but also as sculptor, Franck Sorbier as Couturier and Master of Art, but also creator of dreams.
The equation Margiella-Galliano seems at first sight complicated, but finally, several factors suggest that this is a Continue reading
BALMAIN IS NOT A. MCQUEEN
This year for the Spring Summer collection 2015, Olivier Rousteing, Balmain’s creative Director, presented his Ready-to-Wear collection. During the show, the fashionistas of Alexander McQueen quickly noticed that there was the copy of a white women suit presented by Alexander McQueen at his Haute Couture collection for the Spring/Summer collection 1997.
What a shame! That’s probably the reason why Balmain does not invite Canal-Luxe.org at their catwalk. They are surely frightened that we talked about their copies.
Next time which creator will you copy Mr Rousteing? Franck Sorbier? Alexis Mabille?….
Anyway, Canal-Luxe.org will have difficulties to post your photos as we will have limited spaces for the next show. Funny enough, it reminds us your email about limited places.
TRENDS FASHION WEEK 2015
Between hippie chic and La parisienne fashion victims (pants, mesh robe, pleated tunic) spotted by Roberto cavalier, Emilio Puccini, retro-style for Park Avenue women coat, printed flowers, ascot, top hat and boots, work pretty ggod at Gucci and Max Mara, we can already said the 70 is bach durind the next summer fashion 2015.
In Bailly, Pablo Coppola, the new artistic director also surfs wittily (Elegance long skirt top with sandals) Same Rowena Forrest in a very seventies style, open her boutique in Srt Germain des pres Paris France last week. Even Eric Tibush back from China for the Fashion Week 2015, open many shops in China this year and continue this development, Style from the 1970 vintage, exacly in the flux of trend.
The 1970s fashion, often called the “Me Decade”, began with a continuation of the mini skirts, bell-bottoms, and the androgynous hippie look from the late 1960s and eventually became one of the most iconic decades for fashion ever. And dont forget the top fashion models of the 1970s were Lauren Hutton, Margaux Hemingway, Beverly Johnson, Gia Carangi, Janice Dickinson, Cheryl Tiegs, Jerry Hall, and Iman.
ALEXIS MABILLE
Alexis Mabille’s catwalk at the Hotel Salomon de Rotschild signed a very chic, glamour and feminine collection and please do not pay attention to the rumor on internet about his cooperation with the H&M group.
For the Spring/Summer 2015 presentation, Alexis Mabille has created a sexy collection celebrating Desire and playing with the sensuality of the female body thanks to cuts well mastered. This collection expresses “”freshness, fluidity, relaxation, nonchalance of a modern and assumed, and terribly French liberated woman.”
Sexy silk dresses, trench coats inspired by the bathrobe of luxus hotels located in the south of France. For the evening, women will wear high size trousers and tuxedo jacket.
Congratulations Mr. Mabille for this moment of modern sensuality, full of emotions, and especially in a world where the sole erogenous touch is to use your finger to choose a woman on the Iphone.
But above all, the collection we saw, expresses a glamour and sensual spirit which reminds you of emotions we had during Monsieur Yves’s collections. He is there, somewhere in the shadow, Continue reading

VUITTON BY NC
It is in the brand new Louis Vuitton fondation looking like a large futurist clould ship, designed by the architect Frank Gehry that the fashion designer Nicolas Ghesquière presented his Spring-Summer 2015 collection which is a combination of the 70’s and fiction .
The light of the autumn sun reflected in the large sails of glass and steel that make up the building, located in the Bois de Boulogne in Paris. The eyes have to get used to the darkness that prevails in the room where the stars parade. Faces filmed in close-deliver messages of science fiction.
“The public is asked to sit in a place that does not exist yet, a vessel with a gigantic wooden (…) that serves as an incubator and stimulates creative minds,” set forth the faces . The parade starts with “The Sound of Silence” by Simon and Garfunkel, as of 1966.
The 1970s fashion, often called the “Me Decade”, began with a continuation of the mini skirts, bell-bottoms, and the androgynous hippie look from the late Continue reading
GALLIANO GOES TO ST MARTIN MARGIELA
According to our spie, John Galliano may return to fashion by the end of the year with Maison Martin Margiela. The former creative director of Dior may join the brand owned by Renzo Rosso, the head of Only The Brave (Diesel, Marni, Viktor & Rolf…), in order to design a Haute Couture collection. Discussions are ongoing, while Galliano has already hired five to six people for his atelier.
We have always been a supporter of John Galliano. According to us he is like “The Picture of Dorian Gray”. He expresses the desire to sell his soul, to ensure that the picture, rather than he, will age and fade. The wish is granted, and John pursues a libertine life of varied and amoral experiences; all the while his portrait ages and records every soul-corrupting sin. But over is over, it is like the phoenix bird which is cyclically regenerated or reborn.
In fact the flamboyant style he brought to Dior appears atodds with the somewhat austere designs at Maison Martin Margiela. But as a multifaceted Continue reading

YOHJI YAMASEXY
At 71 years old it seems as if Yohji has just discovered the women body. Till now his colletions were always made of loose clothing. Was it due to his shiness which would disappear with the age?
Anyway, this time the collection is sexy and glamour. We loved this undressed sensuality of silks against skin. The Musée de l’Orangerie was made for an intimate setting in which his women just glided past to the sound of tango.
After the show, Yamamoto said “I challenged what is sexy for me”. It isn’t the first time he’s done so recently, but it is the first where his entire collection revolved around such displays of Continue reading
