Lolita is a very simple, sweet & charming Parisian girl. After studying Fine Art at Central St Martins in London and assisting fashion editors at a few magazines, she’s now working as an artistic director in style at the « Atelier Franck Durand. »
She deals with shows, campaigns, and many other exciting projects. Not only has she helped famous brands to create their ad campaigns, but she also inspires designer Alix Petit (Heimstone’s artistic director) and star blogger Garance Doré.
On top of that, she’s currently modeling for Burberry, as well as for more confidential brands like Coperni, Jacquemus.
She also appears in Glamour and Vogue as an it-girl and a socialite. Between fashion week and a lot of work, I met her at Palais Royal to discover her favorite spots.
Le Perchoir / 14 Rue Crespin du Gast //Paris 11
During the summer, this rooftop is great: quite cozy and the vibe is very chill. Although I tried to watch the 14th of July fireworks there this year, and a building hides the Eiffel Tower, so it was a huge failure.
Le Dauphin / 131 Avenue Parmentier //Paris 11
Delicious. A bit hard to hear yourself talking because of the many mirrors and marble everywhere.
The bonus point : The owner is really cool and knows good wine.
Chez Lipp / 151 Boulevard Saint-Germain //Paris 6
I like the idea that when you live in the neighborhood they recognize you and find you a seat near the entrance, at the very heart of the hustle and bustle.
Le Café Telescope / 5 Rue Villedo //Paris 1
My friend Nicolas owns this bar, and it’s my favorite spot, although I don’t drink coffee. I am his worst customer. The coffee is the best in Paris (I’ve been told). The little concerts downstairs are the cherry on top.
Musée de la vie romantique // 16 Rue Chaptal //Paris 9
It’s a museum I really enjoy. Plus there’s a very peaceful café in the garden.
Le Jardin du Luxembourg // Paris 6
I am a Left Bank girl, so it’s no surprise if I tell you I hang out there a lot.
I like the small spots where you can be alone and observe, like the chess players’ area. You get to hear everything that happens in the neighborhood as there are only locals around.
Broken-Arm // 12 Rue Perrée //Paris 3
The selection of clothes and magazines is pretty sharp. The café is so well decorated and bright, plus they serve very good food and the menu is very versatile. I particularly like this place because you can find some of the clothes created by my friend Simon Porte Jacquemus.
Le Montana // 28 Rue St Benoit //Paris 6
I basically like this place because I live down the street. But most of the time I prefer small parties with my friends in my flat.
