Emmanuelle Alt: Summer Chic

We can all take a lesson from Emmanuelle Alt here, she makes it look so simple to dress chicly for warmer temperatures. Her cool demeanor consists of a pale blue chambray shirt with her cuffs rolled back and her tails tucked into black denim jeans which are rolled up to accent her chic little black shoes. Her braided leather black belt further serves to accentuate her low slung waistline, aiding in the illusion of lengthening her silhouette. Notice also that Emmanuelle is rarely seen without her iPod and headphones in hand, she is clearly a devoted music lover. She is pictured outside of the Christian Dior haute couture show held at the Musée Rodin in Paris.

Emmanuelle Alt's cool look inspired a brief mention in The New York Times in "Summer Style: Buttoned Down" and according to the credits, the photos above were snapped by her young daughter, Françoise Durand. No wonder she looks so relaxed and happy...

It would be fun to go through the playlist on her iPod. Any idea what kind of music she listens to?

What a perfect outfit! Her hair is also so effortlessly chic.

She loves disco and rock, Michael. Wish I had more details but they are few.

It is, Natalie! So effortless, so chic, so française...

Amazing look! But i don't think it's an Ipod she carries all the time, it's a Blackberry with a handsfree-set. She uses it to call people (you can see her use it in one of the Vogue Paris videos, she's at Chanel and is called by Hedi Slimane, it's quite chic)

Thank you for making me laugh, Claire!

Bernie, she is pretty, she looks so fresh here.

Lara, très French sums it up perfectly, EA is the quintessential nonchalant French woman.
