mode and fashion

The portrait I painted from Sonia Rykiel gives me mixed sentiments. I'm proud of the career of this characterful woman and the charisma her face reflects. Fashion is not especially a kindful environment. In the years she started her business as a young woman among a majority of men was certainly not easily done. Nowadays extravagance is not rare, and despite being wearable sometimes, I agree it can be very artistic.
Last 28 September, the opening of the new shop Rykiel Woman defrayed the chronic in proposing the next fashion, the sale of erotic objects. Its a strange idea for a famous fashion house, and however, it does not have the same carriage as a sex shop! Its a place of sensuality and pleasure, associating classical products with other more avant-garde and provocative. Only the subsoil of the shop offers chic sex toys. This space is fortunately not free; you must be escorted by a shop assistant and it is forbidden to underage people.
Nathalie Rykiel, the girl of Sonia who directs the new shop, doesn't contradict the fact that her mother always has been provocative. From the beginning, her creation scandalizes but has never been real common. The daughter is scared of a new scandal defying the market another time, and finally this adventurous step has been accepted with the actual very enlarged mentalities. Next, I fear we find it absolutely normal to be able to buy sex toys together with a lot of other objects and presents relating to love without any shame. I'm still astounded at the manner in which mentalities change faster than advancing technology.
