Pretty Pastels
As we all know, summer is the time to bring out the bold, vibrant colours that are going to stand out.

Legendary editor of French Vogue from 2001 to 2010, she may sound a little The Devil Wears Prada even though she’s been known as the Anti-Anna. Rumored to weigh her staff (she didn’t) and that everyone who worked for her at French Vogue was “very skinny and very beautiful.” To read interviews about her, she embodies every stereotype of a fashion editor.
