It's funny how things come full circle. Back in March, when I had just launched the Clothes Whisperer, when the background was that icky black and the images practically thumbnails, my very very first blog post ever was a recap of LFW AW09 Day 2. My first review on that first post? Bryce d'Anice Aime. Fast forward six months later. Delphine and my very first Style Whispering? One into which we fell almost by mistake having arrived on the tail end of a store launch to discover an empty shop and beckoning fitting rooms? Bryce d'Anice Aime. So rather than suffer you to listen to my philosophical and quasi-New Age waxings on fashion fate and so on, suffice it to say, it's a tickling coincidence and one might even say it was meant to be.Now, on to the whispering.
Born in France, Bryce relocated to London in the late 90s and wound up studying design at CSM. He launched his label in 2006 and just a few weeks ago, opened his first flagship boutique at the very swish address of 95 Walton Street. Having arrived a tad on the late side for the launch, Delphine and I discovered the champagne gone, the canapes consumed and the sales assistants meekly offered to brew us some tea and let us have a pick around.
"Can I try something on?" one of us asked.
"Can I take a picture of her trying something on?" chimed in the other.
Before we knew it, Delphine had piled on the iridescent arm and shin cuffs, slipped into a little metallic black number and some sky high heels and I a brocade fitted coat in a jewel tone blue. One thing led to another. Meaning, a printed black and white silk blouse worn two ways: sheer and paired with rubber leggings on le Parisian and layered under a little vest and paired with shingled mother-of-pearl mini skirt on the New Yorker. Because I'm bad ass like that.
Re that skirt (the first thing I rushed for when the feeding frenzy began). Interesting to note, in that first post I wrote: "Bryce d'Anice Aime at Vauxhall, not a very interesting collection save one iridescent shingled skirt paired with a tuxedo blouse which was kind of DVF-ish."
It's funny how things change. Time passes, blogs evolve and collaborations spring up. But style, your personal taste, remains intrinsic, perpetual and ever unchanged. And that little realization is all down to that shingled mini. Maybe I should buy it.

I conclude that the clothes only fit for limited ladies. Must have the same skin tone as the models and simply the body structure. Black Varsity Jackets Black Varsity Jackets
