Paris Men's Fashion Week SS 2013....Catherine

Catherine Baba, after A Show, Paris, June 2012.

There is a good article on Catherine's personal style in the September edition of Elle (UK) magazine (pages 188 and 189). I love this quote about her closet "Once you go in, you never come out" and her style "no rules! I go with feeling....more is never enough". I always imagined that Catherine lived in a bohemian, vintage and treasure-filled apartment (complete with magic wardrobe!) and from the description in the article, it sounds like it is true!
