You will have, for the beginning of the spring, the clear but well framed face! And what is also top is that the hat takes the lead of next spring-summer trends!
So, to your hats and accessories for a terribly feminine fashion, so beautiful beautiful beautiful!

Above all, how to choose your hat?

To choose your hat, you have different options! Do you have a small head or a long face? So you can afford almost all of the capelin through the panama fashionistas and people.
Do you have a round head like an orange? Try hats with structured shapes and bold curves! They should make you happy and especially the trilby or the fedora!
Finally, if your face morphology is more square, you hats bells, berets and other pretty round shapes like a melon.

We love all hats!
Because it’s an accessory straight from the men’s wardrobe! Because it gives a charm to our outfits. A hat is like a cuff. It has this unique twist that asserts a look and gives a style in almost any situation.

In addition to asserting a style, the hat is customizable in a snap: a few buttons or a nice design solo button: it will be unique! Or if you’re a fan of scarves, you can match your capeline or panama to your outfit of the day!

Street style, haute couture, ready-to-wear: in terms of jewelry and feminine accessories, the field of creativity is unlimited!
But by the way, if everything is allowed, where to start? Original necklaces, bracelets or designer cuffs? Trendy bags, oversized belts or atypical hats? Make your own choice!
So, welcome to a jumble of design to inspire, adapt, personalize and feel beautiful and stylish everyday.
Unusual design necklaces
First, the necklace. Here, it is unusual and above all functional. Necklace bag in the manner of Hermes or Tods or keychain, there is something for all genres! We also notice the original necklace effect adorned with a bakelite buckle the baggycol because it looks like a bag except that he is not!

Pearl cuffs
As much as the necklace, there is an accessory that dresses all by itself: the jewel cuff. And Chanel to give the tempo is never wrong. But I admit to having a weakness for a stylish jewel such as a black pearl cuff or an end of the sleeve with beautiful black buttons.

Original jewelry loops
So here, look good! I love these fashion looks, street style trends. Headlines loops. Denim jeans, a jacket and a cuff on the wrist or ankle? You are dressed in every sense of the word!
But yes, there is beauty accessory sometimes underrated: the belt. It structures your line. In addition, the belt is a jewel! Although oversized, she can be more discreet and ultra-feminine! In summary, the women’s belt is all outfits!

From all smart fashion accessories, the couture button is my favorite … !
For once, this week, there is no question of women’s cloakroom! Because of all the subjects, it’s the button that I prefer (my nod to a French singer, Caroline Loeb)
So this is it. I decided, if you will, to take you on a journey to discover the 1001 materials of the button. But above all, little glossary on THE button!
It is used daily. And yet, the couture button is probably from all our accessories, the one that has a thousand and one tricks and secrets. Do not sociologists call it the ‘PPOC’? Because yes, the PPOC qualifies the couture button of the *Smallest Cultural Object, the S.C.O.! In French: ‘Plus Petit Objet Culturel‘. Simply because the sewing button is one of our most common clothing uses.
And I do not resist sharing this quote from an Austrian architect, keen on fashion and style.
“If nothing else survives of a vanished people but a single button, it would be possible for me, from the form of this button, to deduce the dress and customs of this people, their habits, their art and his intellectual life. So big is the importance of this button. I wanted to underline the relationship between the inner culture and the external culture. The way is as follows: God creates the artist, the artist creates the time, the time creates the craftsman, the craftsman creates the button.”
Adolf Loos, Words in the Void, 1897-1900, Ivrea, 1994
But there is resin and resin! Because while polyester is a commonly used plastic resin, there are many more sophisticated ones; including a beautiful resin from milk, more unknown: Galalith or mineral ivory. And I am passionate about Galalith! It is refined, white in the natural (that is to say before being tinted). It is especially as hard and resistant as ivory and of course, it has nothing to do with real ivory. (Wink to Stella ™)
Galalith is milk-white because it comes from a protein with the nice name of casein. And we consume a lot of it without knowing it because it comes from milk!
The mother of pearl
In the 19th century, France is the cradle of mother-of-pearl in the world. The city of Meru was the fief of all manufactures!
Mother-of-pearl is the star of couture buttons and jewels. It’s actually an amazing combination of carbon and calcium! And contrary to what we can believe, mother of pearl is organic and non-mineral. And when you caress her … what an intimate sweetness!
What is also fascinating with the mother of pearl, besides its beautiful iridescent reflections, is that there are all kinds! These couture buttons are perfect to fashion a dress or, as for coat buttons, the icons of your outfit!
Gray mother-of-pearl, from pearl oyster but also abalone, a seashell found on our atlantic beaches, there are many sorts and all of them make statement
My mother of pearl couture buttons but also my original design buckles that fashion my bracelets and leather cuffs are 90% of French origin: mainly Tahiti and also some gray nacres from Japan.
Precious wood
Or less precious … ! All the wood species are the muses of the couture button, object of sculpture! I get carried away for the good cause …
The wood inspires and it imposes itself as master! Master of the couture knob in raffia, cedar, olive, beech or walnut from our French countries. Only the oak resists him because too hard considering the size of his friend button.
All the woods are beautiful! And the button is KING. If it is rosewood, ebony or Macassar, then you are adorned with subtle jewelry.
And anyway …
This is the button I prefer! And if you like this piece of jewelry like me, then go here! The glossary of the button and its materials: plural resins, horn, rock crystal, Sèvres porcelain …

If every morning you’re in a hurry and get ready in a hurry, this article is for you! Here is the essential fashion accessory that dresses you in a second and distinguishes your style. So let’s dress our necks!
Short design collars for radiant women
No doubt because a necklace is a way of seeing and seeing each other. It’s my vision of the accessory. But above all, the necklace reveals a lot of us…
It is like the saying: “tell me what necklace you wear, I will tell who you are !” Because there is one for every taste and every style: necklaces, scarves as necklaces, short necklaces, designer necklaces, chokers, neckties… So, faced to all these options, how to choose?
Kitsch, fashion, arty : Statement necklace Cleopatra, Elisabeth Taylor – Short necklace Marion Vidal – Statement necklace – Calder Fundation 1948Simple, design or hype: silver choker on Léna Headey, long necktie Monies, scraf necklace or statement necklace, Lily-rose Depp, Vanessa Paradis
THE fashion accessory that awakens your look: the cravateen
Cravateen: n.f. designates a necklace choker, mounted on leather tape and adorned with a jewel-loop created by the ATTELIER BUTTONS PARADISE. Examples: “I never go out without a Cravateen (tie)”, “She no longer wears necklaces; she swears by the cravateen (tie), “My daughter likes to steal my cravateen” …
From now on, you will never go out without a cravateen!
On a sweater, a crew neck … Or why not, for an evening, on the skin, in black dress and large neckline of rigor! But it’s also a designer necklace to wear on a white blouse (closed collar as below or open neck in glamorous fashion).
In short, the cravateenis THE necklace-tie for women!

Which of us have never dreamed of becoming a designer? However, it is somehow the myth of Sisyphus, when your life is devoted to design and create: we do, we undo, we redo. But above all, we love it all. And, yes I love it! Because working with his hands is simply crazy, it’s even magic!
CREATE
It is above all to please yourself and women. An everyday luxury! Moreover, if you follow me on Instagram you may have remembered these important words: luxury is not about means; Luxury is made of simple and beautiful things to OUR eyes. I say it often because I believe it all! Did not Sonia Rykiel say that luxury and elegance are above all a question of attitude? Well done dear Sonia, I love you forever !!!
So this is it! When we create and we decided to devote ourselves to the staging of sewing buttons and fashion accessories, we of course have very nice encounters; women, men … and even dogs! (Pets welcome at the workshop-showroom, reptiles abstain!). In short, nice to meet you all!
And then there are beautiful encounters that lead to collaborations, as with Elsa. Elsa Muse is a blogger I particularly like, for creativity coupled with a passion for fashion … that we share together, of course!
…. And then I love DIY and even more up-cycling. So divert the use of the button or a belt buckle to turn them into jewelry accessories to assert your style, what happiness! And even more if your job (i.e. jewelry designer) contributes to the launch of the new BoxDIYbyElsaMuse on the French market!

RESPOND TO YOUR WISHES
In fact, if the desire to become creative comes to you, for an evening or a weekend, to make you a coat, a skirt … or why not, a brooch or an adornment for your shoes, so express yourself!
Since May the new models are preparing. Sleepless nights, but above all beautiful encounters! There you go! The new collection is online. And as with any novelty, it is time to make a vow, right?
Why not affirm your style with trendy buttons? Because YES, THE buttons are definitely HYPE this winter! And the tweeds and plaid wool are from all the women’s cloakrooms. Here is a little secret just for YOU. If you want to enhance your coat and highlight the squares of its beautiful fabric: head on the horn! It is a sure value and a noble material.
And if you surf on shimmering colors like red, then bet on the effects of materials and the color of your buttons. And here, I let you admire the curves of the red couture button Wavy, so chic!
It is sublime, it affirms you and arises where you want. But beware: it is a chic and rare button to affirm a style just to you. The Silk series is vintage, with different tones of rhodoid resin and silk colors please, but mostly passionately button jewelry!
New trend, unique jewels
The arrival of the first cold is sometimes synonymous with being in the dumps (one of my favorite expressions like ‘to be in your own shell’).
So, for this winter, ATTELIER PARADISE gets under way in Italy! Long live the Dolce Vita. A duo leather-made cuff, made in Paris. An ultra-feminine bracelet feast inspired by Neapolitan headlines! J’adore … Even though I’m not very objective?! But I am a cuff nut!
Dolce Vita leather bracelets like Eden cuffs are real jewelry accessories that dress you in a flash. The Dolce Vita is refined, stylish and especially it marries the wrist. And if you’re a fan, ATTELIER PARADISE will shape your custom-made cuff on request … But please do not tell your friends too soon, just to give us the time to create yours!
The new collection is being put online gradually. And I am preparing you a host of other new products for the next few days! So, stay connected and be in touch soon – 🙂
This week I invite you to live THE Expérience …
What if you sneak behind the scenes of a button? Its desires, Its favorite styles and especially how it would like you to wear it … I imagine you a little puzzled: a button, she wants to interview a button?!!!
Yes it is a beautiful 70’s white button; a fashion button that carries you into its wardrobe for the winter. Because after all, it is right: why not put a little white to counteract the lack of light in the cold?
Bee as button, Bee as white!
In fact, it’s not just any 70’s fashion button. The Bee series is a design button, THE top model of the buttons. A slightly irregular round shape, a finely striated edge, and, above all, a face in the manner of stylized bee cells. This button is of an off-white barely visible. And this is all the subtlety of this jewel of the garment. For the Bee is in Galalithe. Are you still with me? Galalithe is a resin made from milk casein. More precisely, it is a milk protein resin. And the Galalithe is the Aston Martin of resins, the darling of jewels and buttons.
So ready to discover the fashion mood of the Bee button? Let’s go for a review of styles ‘Bee the one!’

White is black!
It tells us white, you say black. Yes! But how? It’s a bit a bit much no…as a duo of colors? Not really, because it’s a sewing button that handles style with a large S.
Black vinyl trench Courrèges – Galalithe Buttons Bee BUTTONS PARADISE
Like the 70’s, the Bee adores vinyl. It’s crazy at the same time. How lucky when we know that vinyl is of all trends or almost this winter! The Bee only dreams of one thing: dressing up your black vinyl trench with a tip of white. It even goes so far as to make you wear white vinyl ankle boots to make it stand out better!

More discreet but just as daring and original, the Bee is a couture button sensitive to the minimalist style. A pure black coat, worn by Charlotte Gainsbourg, Charlotte Bee as her mother Jane! There, the Bee is in ecstasy and even goes as far as placing itself as a single button on the belt of her black pants to enhance and agree to the white of her blouse. In fact, I do like Bee: I close my eyes, I transpose, I imagine. And it’s beautiful! Decidedly, too good this Bee and what elegance it has!
Casual wear?
The Bee button also knows how to be wise Like a button with a neutral color like white, Bee can blend in almost any style. It can also undoubtedly enhance jogging pants with white side strips. Contrast forever! Are still with me? Say yes of the head, I am watching you!!!

Months that the project was under preparation. Because the idea of designing fashion accessories arrived faster than expected. First with the oversized [button] necklaces, the “famous” design necklace Pirogues, then the Ice collar [button] series in Plexiglas . After that, the Eden cuff bracelets and their lacquered buckles on acidulated vinyl leather …
And suddenly, everything happily rushed. The orders, the tailor-made, the designer and ‘couturier’ solicitations. And sales were chained. A bracelet, two bracelets, ten necklaces, then twenty. Merciiiii to you all !!!!
So behind the scenes, welcome to a growing brand.
Indeed, it was time to create a complete Accessories line alongside BUTTONS PARADISE!
An ‘ATTELIER’ with two T? Crazy, isn’t it! But why?
Attelier in French is Atelier for Workshop. But the metamorphosis of the word ‘Attelier’ as if you wrote ‘workkshop’ is far from trivial to me. ATTELIER with two T’s, it is the craft of both hands and the double ‘T’ of Buttons. It is now the creation and marketing of the BUTTONS PARADISE Accessories range.
Up-cycling? Just a rapid digression for language matters to my English, Canadian and American friends. From a strictly French point of view, Up-cycling could sound like another barbarous word?! Not really ! Because at L’ATTELIER, priority is given to the art of majestic diversion. Just need to explain: a rare, contemporary or vintage sewing button or a belt buckle sublimate our most simple and sophisticated outfits. So why not transcend usages and innovate by turning them into jewelry?
It is funny because as I am writing you, the word ‘sculpture‘ is reasoning and reasoning again. Some know it, others do not, but I am passionate about sculpture. So, I dare. Simply because to imagine a couture button or jewel loop, in mother-of-pearl, wood essence, galalithe or acetate to adorn them in bracelets, design necklaces or bib necklaces are gestures and creations that inspire me sculptures.
Without doubt, Picasso, Delaunay, Arp, Giacometti, Garouste were interested in the love of the voluptuousness of shapes. They took an interest in haute couture buttons for creating them. And I wanted to tell you this so much.

The London Fashion Week is for me a moment of happiness filled with emotion! You probably already know that, but what you don’t know is that London is my second city of adoption after Paris, followed by New York, Rome … Well, I’m losing my way. Yes, I love London because I lived and worked there. So I share you with love in this post, my favorites tips about London, ‘FashionWeek must /essentials’. But also, my personal London. So, are you ready? Let’s go!!
My ‘coups de coeur’ from the London FashionWeek!

#FeelGood BUTTONS PARADISE
Special London Fashion Week
My favorite addresses, my ‘coups de coeur’, my London, just for you…
A boutique hotel – The Beaufort Knightsbridge, 33 Beaufort Gardens, London, SW3 1PP. I have been visiting this hotel for over 20 years! The Beaufort is so close to Swinging London and London’s madness. Close to the mythical Harrods and Harvey Nichols. But above all, it overlooks the charming and quiet Place de Beaufort Gardens.
A restaurant – After a crazy day of Fashion Week or shopping! Run quickly at Haandi, I’m always greeted for my Palak Panner. The street is secret and there is next door a super luxury luxury luxury deposit-selling!
An exhibition – Go to VAM. You will see if not already done, the masterly retrospective on the work of Cristóbal Balenciaga (until 18/02/18). Also, the Victoria & Albert Museum is a short walk from the Beaufort, quite convenient! I love the atmosphere of this museum, a pure treat and as for Cristòbal, I am in love …! Shopping
Ideas – Two neighborhoods where it’s good to get lost! Shoreditch, slightly off center. There, take time to look around and you will discover as many designers as you want! If you are more focused on avant-garde currents, then head to the Angel-Islington neighborhood. Here again, just let you go … towards a charming corner around Camden Passage, which is not totally yet in the mood of Shoreditch, but so authentic that it will be one of the hits of the London design in the 12 months to come, for sure!
