From catering to your events to be your domiciliary chef,
Emilie Mazere has not failed to impress us. Emilie is a young talented Parisian chef trained by great chefs in Paris (Y. Alléno, A. Dutournier and A. Ducasse), her passion is to offer you a creative and gourmet cuisine combining French Gastronomy with Far East flavours. A true must do in Paris!
Being just back from a trip to Paris, my hometown, we thought we had to share with you this address. Itineraires is a restaurant which is worth going if you do come and visit Paris. Sylvain Sendra is a talented young chef who has just been awarded for “Etoile Montante de la Gastronomie” which means Gastronomy rising star.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is very warm and welcoming, the staffs is charming, the decor is simply stunning as they used noble materials like wood and stones (which as you know I am a fan of) and enhanced it with a sophisticated touch, I personally loved the ceiling lights.
The food is absolutely delicious: it is original, fine, researched and genuine. The menus are changed with the freshness and seasonality of the produces available. The originality of the fusion of different flavours and textures is truly one of the chef’s innate capabilities.
Itinéaires 5, rue de Pontoise – Paris 5e. France – Tél: 00 33 1 46 33 60 11

Fashion
I feel terribly moved by the sad news today. Being a Parisian and loving Haute couture, I have to say that Yves Saint Laurent was an Icon.
He has revolutionised the fashion for women by introducing us to wear trouser suits and trenches inspired from military uniforms, he was a pioneer of his field and a genius in obtaining the utter femininity through these manly style of clothes. Inspiration came from what was happening on the street and also came from cultures across the globe: caftans from his North African childhood were one of his favourite; and safari-inspired clothes, Russian peasant tops, Spanish gyps

y skirts and Chinese silk jackets, a total revolution for the Haute Couture world!
Saint Laurent was the one transforming Haute-couture by creating a more wearable and popular designs which gave birth to the “prêt a porter”. In 1966, his Rive Gauche store became the first ready-to-wear boutique opened by a couture designer.
