Hi, I'm Louis Pisano.
I'm a writer and a fashion commentator,
and today I'm here with Vogue to talk about Parisian style.
So, let's get this started.
Okay, today, let's say it's a little bit of a combination of things,
of a fairly chic base,
with a little twist where I show some skin.
Let's say some pretty classic looks,
which I'm going to appropriate with something sexy.
Okay, I absolutely love this look.
It's giving me queer-cowboy popped right out of The Matrix.
I love the softness of the yellow shirt.
We have a coat with a rather traditional cut
but the fabric is what makes it interesting,
it's a kind of shiny plastic, which is very flexible.
It's Jeanne Friot, a pretty cool designer
who has some affiliation with Balenciaga.
Black coat on top adds that sort of edge and that grittiness
that I absolutely love.
The contrast between the two is just…
amazing.
I have a shirt from MoToguo, one of my favorite brands.
I also have a pair of Levi's jeans that came from a thrift store.
My shoes are Neith Nyer, they're cowboy boots.
And then, when you go down, you have the classic Levi's jeans
and the cowboy boots, which give that extra flair.
It's something I would wear 100 percent.
I would step out in the streets like this in Paris.
I love putting layers on layers on layers,
because on top of that it's fall, we love fall,
having more textures and adding stuff.
I have a bomber that I bought on Vinted.
Chanel bag that I bought on Vestiaire Collectif.
This is a kid's jacket.
I think it belonged to a 14 year old kid.
I didn't steal it, I bought it.
I quite like this look.
I think it's a very good example of how to layer different aesthetics.
As you know, we've got sort of this military bomber jacket.
Serious texture story going on.
This is a silk shirt from Strab,
a new vintage brand.
This is a very cool skirt, I love it,
from Zalando second hand
and my boots which are amazing,
which are so nice that I bought for 40 bucks on Vinted.
And so it's a full second hand look, which I'm very proud of.
I absolutely love her hair.
If you see me, probably a good like three-fourths of the year,
I have colored hair, usually pink.
For me, that's so cool when somebody does this with their hair.
So, it's very Scottish.
I know him.
Feminine masculine, so I put on a blazer, very oversized,
but very structured.
I really like it when it's structured, but I'm comfortable.
And then I'm wearing the kilt,
over suit pants
that went with the blazer.
For my shoes, I am wearing Tabis from Margiela.
I love the tartan skirt paired over a pair of pants with the Tabi.
Because everybody knows Tabis, they're a bad bitch shoe.
I don't know if I could say that, but I did.
When it comes to rings, I also like to accessorize.
And my little bag from Balenciaga, City.
Because I have classes after, so I have things to put in it.
And generally, I really like Céline,
well Céline by Phoebe Philo anyway for the glasses.
And that's what I'm wearing now.
That's actually what I wear every day.
First of all, I know him and he always looks amazing.
And this is absolutely the kind of look that I would have worn
to go to school if I had been allowed to.
So, this look for me is an A plus. I love it.
So, I'm wearing a pair of Base Sta,
the new 2021 collection,
black and white, it's the classics that I really wanted,
so, I managed to get it, I'm super happy.
Accompanied by pants from an American brand, MandM,
a Telfar bag that I cherish from the bottom of my heart
because it's an African-American brand.
This is a jacket that I found on Vinted
with my sister, in fact, we like to...
Match?
Yes, we like to match our clothes.
So, we bought it very cheap.
These motocross jackets.
I have a little Bape t-shirt,
and then it's all for me with my accessories
and a pair of earrings.
I definitely have all of these pieces in my closet, for sure.
So, I'm wearing a pair of Riccardo Tisci
in collaboration with Nike.
We searched a lot for this pair,
so we found it not too long ago
with a nice discount.
So we bought them.
Then, Wrangler jeans, I love the patchwork,
I wear only patchwork in general.
A Polo Ralph shirt from a thrift shop.
And then the Telfar bag.
I love this brand.
And we accompany all that with accessories,
just to enhance the outfit.
I really love the sort of streetwear vibe.
I love the motocross jackets.
The sneakers.
I absolutely love the Telfar bags.
They're good looks.
It's very American.
So, I'm wearing a coat,
it's the coat I wear every winter or so,
that I really like, that is very classic.
I stole this sweater from my boyfriend, which I like to wear during the winter.
This bag that I also stole from my boyfriend,
with a lot of threads, I really like.
Underneath, I wear this top.
I love her with this sort of 90s Nollywood babe hair.
I'm wearing a head jewel,
Ekoti that we made for our brand.
I put one on because it's been a long time since I've worn one.
So I decided to put one on.
So for me, these two looks are a really good example of when,
yourself, you give life to your clothing,
when you have that personality and that look,
that elevate your clothing
because, basically, they're wearing basics, you know.
I like this sweater because I'm comfortable in it.
A bag that I wear every day, that I sewed myself.
And these pants that I put on for the first time,
they're our brand's pants also in brocade.
And these Camper boots that I love.
But there's something about these two looks together
where you get sort of a character.
So today, I chose something very simple,
pants with darts,
I like how they fall on the shoes.
And where did I buy it?
I think I just ordered it on Asos a few years ago.
I wear these pants a lot, because they are really comfortable,
in the summer and in the winter,
They are pretty warm,
and in the summer I don't get too hot, so it's just perfect,
and the color goes with everything, it goes with black,
it goes with white, it goes with color.
Okay, first off, I'm getting like heavy model off duty kind of energy.
For me, the look is very simple,
and I think that the look really works on him
because he's already got a very sort of unique face.
He's got the slicked back hair and the earrings,
so you get sort of an attitude from him, even though the look is very basic.
You know, if if he didn't look the way he looked, then…
he's probably a model, I'm not going to assume,
but I think he's a model.
A simple black Carhartt jacket.
And for the shoes, I chose Doc Martens,
it's classic, it's black, it's comfortable.
You know, what's really funny for me is how cool Carhartt is here in Paris.
Like where I'm from, in the States,
Carhartt is very sort of redneck and hillbilly,
and it's so cool to see that Carhartt is fashion here in Paris.
So, my look of the day,
I was kind of going for a punk rock vibe,
I don't know if you know the "Nana" style, the manga.
It's really one of my inspirations
and frankly most of the clothes are either bought in thrift shops
or I made them myself.
Because frankly, I think it's better for the planet
and better for ourselves, more rewarding to buy second-hand
or transform something ourselves.
She either thrifted or she made herself.
We stan a sustainable queen.
This is a jacket that I like because it keeps me warm.
I'm very comfortable in it.
The fur, it's really nice
and I didn't expect that
from such a cheap jacket.
It was about 10 euros on Vinted.
It's a Forever 21.
Oh my God.
She has got the Avril Lavigne bag, so there you go.
She knows the mood board. She knows what's up.
And my shoes, they're Demonia, but they're a little old.
I added leg warmers on top,
because it adds a dimension of height.
I'm getting big Japanese sort of schoolgirl vibe from this,
also kind of meets t.A.T.u., the band.
So, of course, you get the cliche like naughty schoolgirl,
but it's done quite cleverly, if you ask me,
I love the sort of cyberpunk boots that she paired with it.
I mean, yeah, when I'm in Paris,
I usually do look a lot at what people are wearing
because I find the city so inspiring,
so it's kind of hard to ignore
when you see someone who looks amazing in the street.
It's a big part of what makes Paris Paris,
because people have a unique style.
I think the look that I'm going to be thinking about,
like the fur, you know, the rest of the day
and probably going to go into my closet and go and try to recreate
is definitely the look with a tight shirt,
with the black coat on top, and the cowboy boots.
Because, I mean, when you go out out the house looking like that,
everyone's going to be breaking their neck to look at you.
That look is amazing.
