For the last couple months I've noticed a little blonde French kid in a lot of French fashion blogs claiming he is "the next thing in fashion" and a "fashion muse". So who the hell is he?
So far I've found out he is a 16 year old high school student, Rick Owens, YSL and Margiela wearing, Dam/Mykro magazine troupe friend and I hear he scams his way into fashion shows and parties around Europe.
How does one do that? I even witnessed this when I was walking around Paris aimlessly with a friend on Rue Saint-Honoré and we came to a stop and saw a huge crowd of people outside the store Colette. We just stood there staring at everyone and were wondering what the hell was going on?! Then we spied Charles Guislain all prettied up in ALL black and wedge heels (yes men wear heels in Paris, crazy non?).
My friend and I both said "Charles" at the same time and laughed at each other for even knowing who he was. Anyway we watched him for about 5 minutes because we knew he was famous for getting into shows without tickets... low and behold! Charles got into the show at Colette.
Geeze maybe I'll buy me some Maison Martin Margiela or whatever the cool kids are wearing these days, and stand out front hoping to get into shows.
Here is a
link to a video of Charles during fashion week. He tells us how he gets into shows.
Anyway what else does he do? Why do I know who he is? How does he juggle school with fashion shows? He must so cut classes. Am I missing something here? Should I get a Joan of Arc hairdo? Wish I was a fashion muse. Dang!
