About


Journaux Des Fetichismes is an online fashion and art destination for everybody loving luxury, art, beauty, travels - l'art de vivre. 

 The main idea behind the blog however is seeing fashion as an art, as a fetish, which empowers women in embracing their true selves, their sensuality, and in doing so gaining the confidence and admiration each one of us deserves.

Journaux Des Fetichismes was launched in March 2014. I have always loved writing, art and fashion so starting a blog eventually seemed a natural thing to do. 

 Being a fan of retro music and films is what really brought me into adoring vintage fashion as well. Interested in and fascinated by history and art, I developed this passion for the past: everything from les années folles – the 20s, the oh-so-very-classy 40s, glamorous 50s to the 60s and 70s Me Decade and flower power groupies.

"..hopelessly in love with a memory; an echo from another time, another place..."

 Between losing myself to writing and sipping bits of inspiration from the city, I try to search for what’s less known about, but beautiful at the same time. Sometimes it can be hidden in books or at the corner of the least crowded streets, between coffee shops, drops of perfume and a delightful favourite tune. I like noticing people, building up stories behind their expressions.

 The art scene is very important to me, every day I discover new inspirations, which later serve as the basis for the development of a theme. I propose my idea to the photographer who best fits the universe that I have in mind and we decide together the establishment of a session.
Then, there are the articles that require research such as reading several books in terms of art movements, being present at as many art and fashion exhibitions, attending fashion shows and, at the same time, keeping in touch with my lovely readers. Their opinion, their encouragements are a driving force for me, including constructive criticism that allows me to progress and it is very important for me to know their thoughts and suggestions when writing for my blog.

 I like to think each day is another chance of doing things differently, of trying, creating, inspiring, achieving, learning.

“I was born tomorrow,
Today I live,
Yesterday killed me.”

* Summer Frenzy *

Image
     The season of outdoor adventures and warm evenings painted pink by picture-perfect sunsets is here. After quite a while on the road I'm back to lovely Bucharest, currently in a phase where most of my closet is becoming lighter and basically, more colourful. Summer is the perfect time to feel and look like a Hollywood starlet - hair flowing in the gentle breeze, radiant and glowing skin, sheer fabrics, sophisticated looks and trips to enchanting places. Even the simplest clothes can have a little bit of mystery when worn on a sparkling sun-kissed skin.     The bright shades, the big news. The prints, the people, the packing. Summer has begun and it's all about fun, freedom and being glamorous. Photos:  Maria M.

Vermilion Shades

Image
*** One warm morning I lay in my bed caressed by the ray of sunlight pointing like a golden finger through the dust particles in the air. Stretching like a lazy cat, I stuck my toes out from under the sheets and wiggled them, enjoying the feeling.  Then, lots of light! Someone had pulled the curtain open.. A smiling face beamed at me. "Hello, sleepy head!" he whispered.. "It's a beautiful day!" And so I discovered when we went on the terrace, as the sun filtered through the leaves turned everything into a symphony of soft greens.  The air felt warm on my cheeks for the first time in months, and that afternoon I wandered around streets of blossomed trees, fascinated by the shades of melted vermilion the town was covered in. At one point it felt like I was part of an old movie. London does that a lot, and especially when the sun makes that perfect golden hour light that is reflected in all of the windows... ***

Spring Transition

  We're having such a warm and beautiful weather in London. The feeling that spring is just around the corner has set a more positive energy around me. As Voltaire would say, "I have decided to be happy, because it is good for myself". I took these photos on Friday; in a calming and relaxing mood, it was the perfect way to start another creative and productive day. I'm really excited and looking forward to the upcoming projects and events going on in my life. Stay tuned for continuing updates. Bisous x Photos by:  B. Bhatt
