PARISIAN CHIC:
WHERE TO GET IT
& HOW TO WEAR IT.
Written by Meghan Forest
W
hat is it about Parisian women What is that je ne sais quois we so
often hear of It is simply an indescribable quality - or, a myriad
qualities that a true parisienne seems to have that makes her that much
more chic, sophisticated, cool & frankly, a bad ass. In “How to be a Parisian
Wherever You Are” by Anne Berest, Audrey Diwan, Caroline de Maigret
& Sophie Mas, the four authors teach us the secrets behind the art of
being Parisian and how to obtain that ‘je ne sais quoi’. With a unique
layout, one part images, one part jokes & snarky sarcasm, one part recipes
for food & life: the book is full of anecdotes and scenarios to give the
non-parisian a better idea of what the ideals of these women mean. Paris
has become synonymous with so many things; class, beauty, sophistication,
style; and the images we see in movies and read about in books seem
almost dreamlike or unreal. However, the authors bring the Parisian back
down to reality & reveal her flaws and vices: she is never satisfied, a know
it all, and always late; as well, they reveal the wonderful qualities that
non-parisian women envy: her undeniable chic factor, that messy natural
look that she embodies, how she hosts the perfect dinner party, and what
she has in her closet. The parisian woman’s thoughts on marriage, love,
children, work & play may be vastly different from the stereotypical American’s,
however, all women, globally, have some quality of the Parisian and
andrew zimmerman
we should hold on to that quality and let it give us that je ne sais quoi.

“IT” GIRL OF STREET
Dallas’ coolest art gallery, WaAS, just recently
wrapped up their Collect Respect exhibit, which
featured numerous artists of various mediums in the
street style realm together under one roof.
CAVEAT had the opportunity to chat with one of
the featured artists of Collect Respect, Dallas
sculptor Kate Firth, about her style both in her art
form & personally; as well as who and what are
inspiring her, and what’s going on in the world of
Kate.
Firstly, in 30 words or less, in the most creative
way you can, will you tell us what it is
you do & what your art form & medium is, &
anything else you can fit
in there
I am a sculptor that specializes
in steel. My style is inspired by
the contemporary, but I work in
a traditional handmade
manner.
How would you describe
your younger years &
how they affected your
career trajectory
I grew up doing a lot of
extreme sports. I was always
hitting up construction sites in
the neighborhood to get building
materials for ramps. After
learning how to build ramps &
grind rails, I began making my
own longboards skateboards.
I’d experiment with boar
shapes, materials & paint jobs.
My dad would drive me to
Home Depot & teach me how
to use power tools; he was
always supportive of what I was
creating, which really allowed
me to be creative. Both of my
parents influenced me heavily
in hindsight. My dad is an electrical engineer & my mom is an interior designer. It’s
kind of funny looking back to how I grew up and my parents’ influence - when you
blend an engineer and a designer, that’s the job description of a steel sculptor.
What has been the most difficult process
you’ve gone through to create a new piece
Each piece has their own difficulties.
I am always trying new forms,
hanging hardware, finish, and
fabricating processes. The sculpture
I am currently working on is
much larger compared to works I
have made in the past. This project
is a large outdoor, wall hung
sculpture that will be installed in
downtown Dallas at the corner of
Main Street & Lamar. I am very
excited about this commission; I
have recently developed an interest
in large outdoor work, trying
something new & challenging for
myself by placing my work in a
public space instead of gallery
walls.
What is currently inspiring
you as an artist and as a
human being*
Sculptors, Nic Noblique and Mark
di Suvero - both hand make their
work, emphasizing the power of
imagination and process with
human hands. Architect, Frank
Gehry - his buildings are huge steel
sculptures. Modern & contemporary
architecture.. looking at the
balance of positive & negative
space, along with line. Androgyny -
particularly in objects & materials,
stripping preconceived notions of
gender.

What was the first project you were extremely
proud of and fed your inner artist most, convincing
you to continue
The first steel sculpture I ever made at age 18.
Since I was a kid, I thought there was something
so amazing about making objects by hand at
any size your imagination and abilities would
allow. one I finished my first steel sculpture, I
knew that’s what I was meant to do.
What do you want people to know most about
your art form, & you
Fresh perspective.
Because we think fashion & art are totally
connected & work in unison, will you describe
your favorite outfit you own and give
us 5 words that describe your personal
style
Although I am often in studio clothes, when I go out,
this is my favorite outfit: black boots, polka dot dress,
black skinny jeans, speckled dark purple & black deep
v-shirt, with my 80s black & grey single button blazer
with shoulder pads. 4 words that describe my style:
Well, I don't really know how to answer that myself.
I guess if I had to call it anything maybe, industrial

•androgynous

“how can we monetize what the fashion world is
already doing & make it beneficial for everyone
involved”
Starting from the source, former personal
stylist Amber’s own blog VENZedits, is where
she first realized that she was giving her clients all of her
style secrets without reaping any benefit or the usual commission
that come with that sort of gig. So she decided to
find a way to get all of her advertisers in one place & get
smart about this blogging business. So add in Baxter, the
tech side of the business, and voila: rewardStyle is born.
Amber can often be quoted as giving advice along the
lines of, if you have an idea, follow it, pursue it, and
embark on the adventure. Amber has been a part of many
realms of the fashion industry locally in Dallas & globally
(rewardStyle now has offices in London) with D Magazine’s
top jewelry designer in Dallas as a credential as well
as experience in styling. With her resume, drive, and passion
for connecting and uniting fashion and technology,
now we all have the luxury of liking, knowing & then getting
our hands on some gorgeous garments.
