Whether it's strolling by the Seine in distressed denim, or wading in the pool impromptu at the Hotel du Cap in Dior Couture, all around it-girl and arbiter of chic Lou Doillon's effortless style is undeniably her own. All tousled hair, long limbs and killer cheekbones, the striking daughter of icon Jane Birkin and director Jaques Doillon has managed to perfect the Parisian art of delicately arranged deshabillé, be it in biker boots or a ballgown.
With creative collaborations with Chanel, Givenchy and Vanessa Bruno under her belt, as well as a diffusion range for Lee Cooper, it’s clear that Doillon leads, not follows. Take inspiration from the talented actress, musician and designer for a look that is part Joan Jett, and part coquette.
A strong set of monochrome staples (the tee, the silk blouse, the ubiquitous blazer, and ofcourse Chanel’s 2.55..) pieced through with worn jeans, form the base for an easy to wear wardrobe built on cult streetwear labels and topped with high-end luxe. A blend of man-style tailoring and feminine dresses will easily get you half way there. Unusual cuts and accessories, and the occasional eccentric hat, raise eyebrows and provide the sense of fun that is so much a part of Doillon’s style- particularly at night, when bright bandage dresses, body conscious LBDs or prints and sequins are thrown on under leather jackets to dance the night away. Just add red lips to a clean face, and a sweep of sixties liner, for the full french effect.
