"It's more interesting to have just a picture of a small detail - then you can dream all the rest around it.
Because when you see the whole thing, what is there to imagine?" -Dries Van Noten
When The Coveteur asked me about fantastic closets worthy of a raid in Paris, my first suggestion was my friend and stylist Virginie Dhello. I’m certainly her number one fan. Dhello’s extensive career as a stylist began in the mid 1990’s, where she worked as an assistant at L’Officiel. Since then, this industry vet has contributed to various fashion publications like Tank, Surface, Biba, Spur and Grazia Italy. After lending her name and keen eye to multiple mastheads, Dhello eventually settled at French Glamour as the resident fashion editor for 5 years. Nowadays, Dhello works as the fashion and accessories editor for the oh-so-Parisian publication, Madame magazine – the in-flight reading material for Air France. She also dedicates her time and attention into her own personal blog, VeePost where she shares style and beauty tips alongside interviews with friends and fellow fashion insiders. Amidst her chaotic editorial duties, Dhello even manages to find time to lend her expertise to consult for a glowing roster of luxury brands. And it should come as no surprise that she’s in with the whole “French Girl" crew, counting fellow and future Coveteur, Aurélie Bidermann as one of her go-to confidants. Her distinctive style is what the French call, “La caverne d’Ali Baba”; she has a 1970’s flair, which incorporates her love for bold colors and loose fabrics. And after being in the biz for almost two decades, she’s amassed an impressive shoe collection that would make even Carrie Bradshaw gasp. With an affinity for all things pink—it is her favourite colour, after all—Dhello’s collected an abundance of bubble gum-shaded accessories, which include Hermés shoes, Céline sunnies and Solange Azagury Partridge rings. Her accessories are comprised of the most limited edition in color ways and we can only dream to find something as impressed on 1st Dibs. - As told by Lyna V. Ahanda
