I have pictures of her pinned all over my Pinterest boards. She just has such a natural, easy elegance. And man, can she wear clothes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me/page/2#post-743499 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:09:30 +0000 Janet 743499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this thread briefly yesterday but wanted to wait until I could see the pics on a larger screen than my iPhone to explore it further. I have admired her style too, but this is a great discussion and summation of what I find inspiring about her look. </p> <p>Among other things i relate to (the rock star vibe, the jackets, the understatement), I love the legginess of her style, considering as someone (sorry, can't remember who!) pointed out upthread, she doesn't wear skirts/dresses or show skin. I find that really appealing and realized yesterday that is something I try to emulate to take advantage of one of the things I like about dressing my own body: the length of my legs. Now, of course I don't have her slenderness, but I can see certain things she does that emphasize that long leg line, especially in the pics Denise posted. </p> <p>Thanks for starting this, Angie. More food for thought, inspiration and learning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me/page/2#post-743456 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 11:29:23 +0000 rute 743456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm an HUGE fan of her! She reflects the way of dressing of the French women, simple, not much make up and messy hair but always so chic! Simplicity is chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me/page/2#post-743452 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 10:53:48 +0000 krishnidoux 743452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cheryl, I think her legs look a mile long... but maybe they are just average length; it's how she styles them. </p> <p>Deborah: thank you for the precision! Now I can imagine why the stun face! Carine is with the one who replaced her. She was dethroned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me/page/2#post-743367 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 03:39:11 +0000 cheryl 743367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Her legs are a mile long, lol. Great personal style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me/page/2#post-743326 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 02:43:38 +0000 Ariadne 743326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness, I love her. I want to be her when I grow up. If I could dress like this and pull it off, I would be over the moon. Doesn't get any better (to me)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me/page/2#post-743306 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 02:25:34 +0000 Anonymous 743306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I didn't recognize the name, but love how she styles herself. My favorite is #3 of Angie's group of photos. With that bone structure, she will be a beauty well into old age. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me/page/2#post-743273 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 02:04:20 +0000 Makrame 743273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the photos both Angie and Denise have posted. Her style also reminds me of Charlotte Gainsbourg. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me/page/2#post-743258 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 01:51:04 +0000 Jaime 743258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of all the fashion editors/style icons, she is the one I most relate to - not that i have her height, her figure, her budget, etc. but her outfits are simple, androgynous, and subtle yet obviously very stylish. I also appreciate seeing her and all the fashion editors rock various high fashion styles into their 40s, 50s and beyond. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me/page/2#post-743223 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 01:12:39 +0000 Aida 743223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE her style! She's one of my inspirations as well; I'd saved several photos of her before looking up who she was (and how fitting!). I'd actually just been planning to make a Pinterest board for her when my comp died, what timing! I like to change my silhouette more often and wear more color, but her feminine-masculine balance is sooo appealing to me. And I adore that she's able to pull such a rocker vibe without the heavy eye makeup, which makes me feel better about doing the same. And that she repeats pieces. And her attention to detail. So good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me/page/2#post-743204 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 00:51:51 +0000 Jonesy 743204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She has great style! She looks very confident, polished, and yet relaxed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me/page/2#post-743140 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 23:11:13 +0000 jen 743140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Franck Durand, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me/page/2#post-743137 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 23:09:25 +0000 Caro in Oz 743137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love her aesthetic - refined biker chick to my eye.<br /> Anna Wintour doesn't do it for me at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me/page/2#post-743126 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 22:58:04 +0000 jen 743126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like her on fb friend as she regularly posts pics of herself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me/page/2#post-743119 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 22:54:51 +0000 Deborah 743119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jen do you know her hubby's name? I'd like to google him:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me/page/2#post-743117 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 22:53:27 +0000 jen 743117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They have a girl and boy with model looks too!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me/page/2#post-743102 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 22:47:47 +0000 Deborah 743102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jen I didn't know that about her. I did wonder if her significant other was in fashion. Part of me wishes I was their little girl, can you imagine !? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me/page/2#post-743079 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 22:32:08 +0000 jen 743079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She is tall, super skinny, model looks from her model mum and an Isobel Marant (who her husband is a designer for) and Balmain walking advert. Never carries a bag only her ipod! and is always wearing cool Balmain pants and jacket. Her skinny jeans though come from Topshop!!!! I am an Alt Stalker!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me/page/2#post-743066 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 22:22:56 +0000 bj1111 743066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>no wonder she's the vogue eic and i'm ... not! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me/page/2#post-743063 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 22:22:02 +0000 Deborah 743063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BJ I read than Anna W plays tennis each morning and then showers and has her hair and make up done professionally each morning! Sigh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me#post-743054 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 22:16:29 +0000 Scarlet 743054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What I find most interesting about her style is the way she practically wears a uniform but the details are always cutting edge, so maybe she always wears a jacket/blazer with trousers but it is THE shape of the season. I find this both inspiring and discouraging because on the one hand the consistency speaks to me--she knows what she likes, what suits her, and sticks to it, but on the other hand she is always refreshed in a way that most of us could not afford to keep up with. In any case I always love seeing her photos. She truly stands out in a crowd even while being much more understated. Do you think that just comes from inside? Or is it the model good looks? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me#post-743048 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 22:09:55 +0000 Mochi 743048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the influences are not always obvious, and also, you can absolutely love something that wouldn't work for you. Sometimes having that contrast and analyzing why it's great for one person and not for someone else is really helpful. And lastly, it's just fun to see great style. Although I'm fascinated with Giovanna's deliberate style, I'm about to post some looks that veer much more toward minimalism, and which are so gorgeous in their own deceptively simple way. </p> <p>I really love what I'm seeing here too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me#post-743035 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:59:45 +0000 catgirl 743035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh, I love her style. And I love that she's wearing items MORE THAN ONCE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me#post-743020 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:42:03 +0000 jen 743020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She is God to me, I have even copied her Cartier Watch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me#post-743016 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:38:38 +0000 bj1111 743016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i read that anna wintour gets her hair done and trimmed every day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me#post-743000 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:28:46 +0000 sinead 743000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She has been one of my style icons too. I was curious if her replacement of Carine Roitfeld would change her style- if she'd go flashier or more fashionista. It seems like she has stayed very steady in her minimalist chic look, which makes sense. It works so well, why change it? She makes me see the need for good long jackets and great shoes. </p> <p>I find French hair interesting- so often it looks as if they don't 'do' anything. Just wash and go. I love this, I think it's part of their appeal, but I wonder if an editor could get away with the same thing here in the US. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me#post-742989 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:23:10 +0000 Deborah 742989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Krish the other woman in Denise's #4 is Carine Roitfeld, former editor of French Vogue.<br /> She is another woman with a very distinct style signature:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me#post-742977 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:17:44 +0000 krishnidoux 742977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And she also seems to love black pointy footwear. She likes to play up her legs a lot, without ever showing skin. She does have a very typical Mediterranean body type and style.</p> <p>My favourite on her is from Angie's selection, pic 5. I WANT those leather pants! </p> <p>And from Coco's selection, first outfit! Also: look at #4, what a strange photo! The woman she's with literally looks like an ostrich caught in headlights. While Emmanuelle poses confidently with attitude, the other one seems completely out of her comfort zone. So strange! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me#post-742963 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:06:27 +0000 RoseandJoan 742963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love her style also, apart from the heels her style looks as practical as it is luxurious. I also admire how her style and figure are 100% compatible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emmanuelle-alt-why-her-style-inspires-me#post-742960 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:04:16 +0000 Jjsloane 742960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very interesting when you look at these all together. I find elements of my style here (leopard jacket looks?? Navy blazer - preppy items mixed with her French style and RATE look) even though I am not minimalist or stick thin or very Parisian. I think the simple mixing of classic items allows each of us to see the parts we admire. </p>
