The "grande dame" of French cinema was born on October 22, 1943 in Paris.                                        


Catherine has always been in fashion.                                                                                                        As for accessories, floppy hats were her favorites, especially since the late sixties and seventies where those were very fashionable.
  Deneuve was the face of Chanel No. 5 in the 1970s, and her image was also used to represent Marianne, the national symbol of France, from 1985 to 1989.

She was the face of Chanel for years and one of her last campaigns was for Louis Vuitton.

I was watching the replay of the first chapters of  Mexico's Next Top Model the other day and got really concerned when one of the judges ( Antonio González de Cosío) told one girl she looked very much like Brigitte Bardot.
My concern came when the girl said she didn´t know who this fashion icon was.
You might think that people interested in the fashion industry would know who the fashion icons are so I thought it would be nice to write about my favourites.
ELLE France.                                                 
At age 18, she began her acting career and became known worldwide for her daring and controversial role in the film "And God Created Woman" directed by Roger Vadim, her first husband. 
In the film she played a young orphan whose precocity caused quite a stir in
the 50´s                                  
She is recognized for popularizing the bikini, the beehive hair, the headband, the long platinum mane and in makeup she gets the credit for the cat-eye liner style.
