Men in black (tweed)

Legal duty, sex equality is no longer the privilege of the political sphere. In entitled settlement of genders and elegance, Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld compiled it with diligence. The book they signed jointly, « La Petite Veste Noire » (The Little Black Jacket), casts the light on fashionable actors and actors of fashion, dressed in the timeless Chanel piece. Many have forgotten that, though what seems androgynous here, tweed was a men’s fabric from the start.

 
Obligation légale, la parité n’est plus l’apanage de la sphère politique. En digne arbitres des genres et des élégances, Karl Lagerfeld et Carine Roitfeld s’y sont également pliés avec diligence. L’ouvrage qu’ils co-signent, « La petite veste noire », fait ansi la part belle aux hommes, figurant acteurs de la mode et acteurs à la mode, habillés de la pièce intemporelle de la maison Chanel. D’aucuns auraient oublié qu’ici androgyne, le tweed était à l’origine une matière masculine.

To whom it may concern.

I am writing to you in regards to your recently vacated position of Editor-in-chief of the French – the only one that matters – edition of Vogue. After 10 years of service, I do understand that beloved Carine Roitfeld will be deeply missed. However I truly believe my qualification will perfectly match your requirements.

I started as a model, just like she did. « Not as a super-model, just a model », she declared when she was appointed in 2001. Modesty is a quality Carine and I both share.

She is believed to be the child of ‘porno-chic’, as she worked for Tom Ford and shaked up Missoni. Please find attached my experience in the porn industry.

As indicated in the adverstisement, Vogue Paris has established itself as one of the most iconic magazines in the world, with a tremendous influence in the fields of fashion and photography. My blog, TheBlueEyedBoy, had more than 1200 readers in only its first week of existence. Proportionnaly, I did better in my current position than Carine Roitfeld did in 10 years for the French edition of Vogue.

Last but not least, I have a worldly sense of initiative as well as a strong command of the English language, both oral and written. Launching an American edition of Vogue would, for instance, be a great idea.

Attached is my resume. It comes in the form of my blog.

Yours faithfully,

TheBlueEyedBoy
