..Who it is. Our own Valerie D, stylist du jour shows us all how it’s done.
1960s inspired looks from C. Madeleine’s at last Saturday’s vintage fashion showcase
at the Viceroy.
Over 70 looks were modeled spanning every era from the 1920s to the 1990s,
an over the top array from the eras of fashion represented in the C. Madeleine’s
vintage designer clothing showroom and website that can be mixed with today’s
pieces for a sophisticated balance of past and present. The stylish turnout made
for a fabulous afternoon with Danny Santiago, stylists, fashion designers and
fashion afficianados alike.
C. Madeleine’s Madeleine Kirsh and supporters of Community Partnership for the
Homeless raised money for the new WOMENADE campaign, which aids area women in their
times of need. A great showing for a fun inaugural event!
Earlier this week, model/actress Devon Aoki came into C. Madeleines after hearing the buzz about the store.
She was on her way to the airport, and only had 5 minutes to look around. “I only have 5 minutes but I had to see the store.” said the model. “Everyone is talking about it- they always tell me I have to check it out when I come to Miami”.
She then told Leslie [One of our C. Madeleines employees] more or less the stuff she is interested in, and told her to take photos of them and send it to her via e-mail since she was in a hurry to go. Aoki has modeled for the fashion houses LancĂ´me, Chanel, and Versace. She has also done ad campaigns for Chanel Ready to Wear, Chanel Couture by Karl Lagerfeld, Versace by Steven Meisel, YSL by Juergen Teller, Alessandro Del Aqua, Hugo Boss, Moschino, Ungaro, Fendi, Junko Shimada by Bettina Kimenda and Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons.
