My dear readers,
I'm sorry for the major hiatus and that I've fallen off of the face of
Quinntessential Style, BUT! I have been working all summer for Condé Nast Digital here in Paris, on the Vogue Paris
website in English.
If you'd like to see what I've been translating, and follow my work you can do so on the Vogue.fr in English site of course, or by checking out my '
My Vogue Translations' board on
Pinterest.
As Fashion Week has come around once again, I plan to set aside some time to catch you up on some of the amazing shows I saw last season (and show you what you should be wearing this fall!) and to set aside some time to start adding some Fashion Week footage.
Also, I can't wait to share the images from "when I got married" in the
Gourmandise et Douceur de Vivre à la Française bridal photo shoot for The Wedding Tea Room blog. Check out Fréd's (the author) post about the shoot on her
great wedding blog.
In the meantime, I'll leave you with a sneak-peek shot from the shoot...

My job is fantastic and I'd love to share my work with you, so pretty please check out my translations and
Vogue.fr in English - the site only just launched less than six months ago! - especially as we continue to cover the Fashion Weeks from New York to London to Milan to Paris.
Happy Fashion Weeks.
Bisous.

Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez celebrated their 10th anniversary heading design at Proenza Schouler this Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion Week, and to mark the occasion, the New York design duo decided to go back to essentials and honor the label's classics in their spring collection, including electric blue motifs with black zebra stripes, colorful python, woven leather, futurist shoes, punky handbags and touches of acid green that cropped up throughout the entire show. Metal rivets, A-line skirts, zippers and psychedelic prints were just a few of the New York brand's standard design codes immortalized this season with a soft 1960s reinterpretation. Skirt suits appeared in colorful leather patchwork and graphic motifs, and black crocheted tops were paired with glossy black leather skirts. Prints appeared as postcards sent from the forest, the sea, the beach and the city, and dresses had origami pleating in patchwork designs, resulting in wearable inspiration boards. The last look out was a dress printed with a crowd of people and sprinkled with fluorescent pink studs on the bodice, and metal rivets on the skirt. With the crowd of people and the vibrant stud and rivet confetti, the designers amped up the party vibe and set the mood to celebrate their florid Spring/Summer 2013 collection, and 10 years of divine creativity.
