Josie & The Couture Cats

By: Category: ART+FASHION Date: 22.Jul.2014


What’s it like to be personally invited to Paris Haute Couture Week by the houses of Chanel and Saab? More importantly now that it’s come to an end, where does one sign up to be chosen for next year?

You’d probably assume that being named one of Forbes list of 20 Most Intriguing Billionaire Heiresses, certainly helps. Award winning actress Josie Ho (Contagion, Open Grave) can’t help being born into a family of finance wizards and tycoons–if it’s any consolation, imagine the conversation when their daughter decided to go into showbiz. Not good. But the truth is, Josie is quite the fashion icon in the making. Beyond having a successful handbag line with Mata Hari and her accomplished acting career, Josie’s a natural trendsetter: with dark red lips, slightly askew chic brows, and her avant-garde take on Luc Besson’s mini-muse Mathilda’s divine bangs–Ms Ho is a natural trendsetter.

So if–like me–you weren’t invited to any of the shows with the other ‘fashion cats’ in Paris this month, here’s Josie’s photo journal of events.  Feast your eyes on couture clothing, French happenings, and front rows seats us mere mortals will never experience.
