I was born fashion and I died fashion c as t's hardly a surprise that designer Laetitia Ivanez chose a glossy, gallery-like space in the Haut Marais for her 2nd showcase; her fashion line Les Prairies de Paris has all the arty tics and quirks (silk fringing, peacock feathers, busy prints) of glamourous urban fashion as seen on the nearby rues Charlot and Bretagne. What sets the line apart, however, is the garments' refined self-consciousness, a quality absent in so many of the faux-casual, 'off-duty-model' creations of Ms. Ivanez's peers. She manages unlikely pairings (jodhpurs and tailcoats, a racoon tail on a beetle-green scooter helmet, sheath dresses and athletic colour-band socks) without cloying whimsy. Like homegrown arty darlings Gaspard Yurkievich and Andrea Crews, Ivanez updates the Parisian bohemian with grit and brainy glamour i am fashion look
