Choupette’s Diary: A Chic Guide to Feminism in Fashion

WeCanDoIt

Emma Watson and I have more in common than just our fashion icon, “Mommy” Coco Chanel – we know that ‘feminism’ isn’t a swear word, rather it’s misunderstood. Recently, the political world has seen a lot of promise on the issue but much less progress. This disillusionment about the female’s role in a patriarchal society extends down even into fashion.

The industry is one dominated by females, yet there is a disconnect between empowerment and exploitation. It’s easy to blame fashion for forcing scantily clad young girls onto the catwalk and photoshopping even the thinnest model on the cover of magazines. We justify it as being “edgy” even though it perpetuates a male exploitation of the female form.

Coinciding with the portrayal of women in fashion, there should be more women on the executive level of large fashion conglomerates. The roadblock is the never-ending debate over equal pay, which affects women disproportionately.

a_3x-horizontal

Instead of focusing on the past wrongdoings of fashion’s crawl toward female empowerment, we should be building a world where all women (and felines alike) have the opportunity to receive an equal education, opportunities, and careers. I’m calling for a restructuring on how the fashion industry – and the world – addresses youth, beauty, sexuality, and career-driven women.

Find out how Chanel is standing up for feminism.

Choupette’s Diary: A Chic Guide To Pampering with Shu Uemura

Cs2

In case you don’t feel good about yourself and your career success, take a moment to wallow in the fact the a feline has landed her own beauty collaboration. Don’t fret though dahhhlings! I will take those worry lines and turn you into the blue eyed beauty I am.

Daddy Karl Lagerfeld has a longstanding relationship with the Japanese makeup brand, Shu Uemura—he uses their cosmetics to color in his fashion sketches and collaborated on a holiday collection with them in 2012. Thus, it’s no surprise he wanted moi in on the action!

CS

While the collaboration was announced in July, the images for the campaign have just now arrived *cue the annoying human squeels of excitement*. The “Shupette” line features eyeshadows in minky, feline colours, crystal false lashes, the cult Shu Uemura cleansing oil and more. The packaging is complete with original drawings of me from Daddy –  who doesn’t want to see my face every morning on their boudoir?

The “Glamourpuss luxury” will launch in time for the holiday season so get on Santa’s not-so-naughty list early!

Screen Shot 2014-06-06 at 3.54.21 PM

Gifts? Why yes I would love one! Gifting? Not my cup of tea. With Father’s Day only one week away, it got me thinking about the important things in life besides private jets and black cards; the love and support Daddy Karl Lagerfeld has shown me, opening his chateau to moi when I was just a mangy model’s muse. In celebration of Daddy, here is a list of his favorite things:

1. Diet Coke — A staple in any fashion diet.

2. Sketch Books — For when inspiration strikes or I strike a pose.

3. Klorane dry shampoo — He who has the whitest hair wins.

4. Galignani — And you wonder how Daddy’s library got so full…

5. iPhone(s) — Yes, plural.

6. Sunglasses — “They are like eyeshadow. They make everything look younger and prettier.”

7. Pencils — Perfect for sketches or batting around Daddy’s desk incessantly.

8. Gloves – Preferably fingerless.

9. A Classic Fuji camera

10. Sweatpants — Non! Just kidding, Daddy!

Choupette’s Dairy: A Chic Guide to Meeting Your Plus One

Screen Shot 2014-04-18 at 4.26.58 PM

As invites stream in for previews, galas, and spring fêtes, the dreaded plus one on the RSVP card seems daunting. Don’t spend your Friday night indulging in cake, which will only induce a sugar coma and possibly tears of self-pity. He doesn’t have to be a male model like Uncle Baptiste Giabiconi, but he does have to have a dapper style, savvy sense of humor, and cunning networking skills.
