Maxime Simoens

The enthusiasm that enlivens the beginning of Maxime Simoens’ career is rare in Paris. He seems to be the designer everyone has been waiting for – a young designer who does not try to restore old fashion ideas, but who knows how to adapt his talent to what women want to wear nowadays perfectly … After having trained with Elie Saab, Gaultier, Dior and Balenciaga, Maxime Simoens launched his own house in 2009. Soon, his innovative and luxurious style draws attention from the press and it girls around the world – Melanie Laurent, Blake Lively, a dream for him who after ten years of theater, was destined to become director. It is this passion for cinema and it’s actors which leads him to get inspired from the heroines of Sofia Coppola for his last two collections.
For his haute couture show, Simoens insisted more on reality. Only 20% or so of the pieces he put on his catwalk could be defined as couture. As for the rest, it was quite streamlined.

Super Freddy

What’s great about him? Well many things but I’m here to talk to you about one particular point : his wonderful musical talents. Although he is still very young(15) Freddy Detchou is quite determined and has a great potential. He was born in Canada and has lived in different places such as Washington DC or more recently, Tunis. With beats made by his brothers and his own poetical words he raps and sings whatever comes to him. He puts a lot of effort into his work and isnt afraid of posting his new music online on social websites such as Facebook or myspace to start his career. Record labels should be keeping an eye on him, he just might be the next Kanye West, Jay-Z or Eminem.
