A new foodie and bibliophile destination has landed in Bond Street courtesy of @maisonalaia. Unlike other luxury fashion houses with their ultra brand-coded cakes and confectioneries (hello Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami cakes) this is a somewhat more wholesome approach. The food is consumed round an aluminium communal table nodding to the original spirit of Azzedine Alaïa himself, famous for inviting models, seamstresses, editors and even passing VIP clients to join the home-made feast at the studio table. (The cakes and coffee courtesy of @violetcakeslondon are delicious btw.)Don’t miss the placemats and strategic setting of a knife and fork to show off the embroidered Alaia logo! 👀And afterwards, bookish aesthetes can wander to the window seats and peruse the @clairederouenbooks-curated art, fashion and literature books, all part of @pieter_mulier’s ambition for intellectual stimulation and cultural exchange 📚Azzedine Alaïa’s story really is incredible. Do check out the film about him that #JoeMcKenna made a few years ago (link on my blog) and the timeline on the Alaïa website (props to whoever pieced all that together https://fondationazzedinealaia.org/en/chronologie/). Did you know he once created a leather collection for Charles Jourdan? And created the prototype for the famous Yves Saint Laurent Mondrian dress?Read more on disneyrollergirl.net or link in bio https://www.disneyrollergirl.net/culture-fashion-food-alaia-bond-street-violet-cakes-claire-de-rouen-bookshop/

Thinking about… opera pumps. The perfect footwear for formal attire, especially with a white sock, ALT-style ✨Women’s versions are hard to come by but hunt out Bode, Suzanne Rae and Thom Browne. (Update: @toneloki just told me he can make the opera pumps in women’s sizes too.) Or search for vintage Church’s and other trad brands on eBay, which will come up smaller 👀More on disneyrollergirl.net or link in bio#operapumps

What’s the deal with oversharing on social? Let’s ask Sophie Calle:“I am both very much about oversharing but, at the same time, not at all. I am not on social media; I don’t have Instagram or Facebook. So, I am saying a lot less than anyone who is writing about what they had for dinner last night, or where, or with whom. There are a lot of people who think that they know me, but that is completely false. In fact, I choose a moment, but it is just a moment—I don’t tell what happened before or after. I have been with the same man for 20 years, and I have never written one line about him or shown one photo of him. For 20 years, no one has known how I really live my life.”Sophie Calle, W MagazineMore on disneyrollergirl.net or link in bio#sophiecalle #oversharing📷 @timelkaim @wmag
