Vichy Mania: the gingham pattern in all its forms

The Vichy pattern keeps reappearing in the world of fashion. While its "terroir" image is still relevant, many fashion designers have revisited the famous check.

How to wear Vichy fabric?

Nothing is more charming than a little blouse or a Vichy dress , in cotton it's very fresh!

But heavier fabrics lend themselves wonderfully to reinterpreting the Vichy pattern, on pants, overalls, a coat. It's a slightly stronger outfit than for a small top, but Vichy is bold!

In the latest issue of L'Œil Fauve , I talk to you about this famous Vichy Mania that is shaking up the fashion world and I show you 4 looks around the Vichy piece that has just arrived in my wardrobe: the Loulou pants . I reinterpret it according to 4 looks, with a shopping guide and inspirations that I invite you to find in the magazine , but here is already a preview:

Vichy Preppy

A charming silhouette in a mix of flowers and gingham, little loafers for a British touch and with the Nana top and its pretty bows to play on the candor of the look.

Vichy casual

Very sporty sneakers, a graphic Sirocco top , but always a cute Loulou who comes to get jostled ;)

very large checkered gingham fabric

Vichy retro

This little look is the most obvious, with patent leather ballet pumps and a very feminine Penelope blouse , I borrow the look of the star heroines of Vichy (BB, Audrey and Co).

Vichy Rock

Here, we mix leopard and gingham fabric and Loulou turns a little rascal! In the company of the top Marisa , I'm not afraid of anyone...

I hope you enjoy discovering these looks, all so different and always centered around this little square that hasn't said its last word!
