You name it: Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey

Since many of You loved the "You name it" post about here...let's take a closer look.

Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey (born 26 May 1986) is a Spanish-French actress, currently residing in Paris. She is fluent in French and Spanish.
She took her first steps into the fashion  world fronting French Connection's pring Summer 2010 campaign, The Woman, and continued working with the brand for the Autumn Winter 10.
Personally picked by producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Rob Marshall, Bergès-Frisbey made her English language  debut in the 2011 highly-anticipated sequel Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides, landing the role of mermaid Syrena after a whirlwind of auditions in France, Hollywood  and the UK. Since her character plays a vital role in the story she had to brush up on her English and had  Penelope Cruz (not bad) as an on-set pal when the language barrier became too much

Chloé turnover

Chloe says its creative designer Hannah MacGibbon is leaving after nearly ten years of collaboration.
The shy British-born designer is to be replaced by a fellow Briton, Clare Waight Keller.
.Known for its romantic, fluid designs, Chloe has struggled in recent years to duplicate the success it enjoyed under Phoebe Philo, now at cross-town rival Celine.
Here's a peek inside the newcomer.

In 2000 she was hired by Tom Ford at Gucci to work alongside Francisco Costa and Christopher Bailey as a senior designer. This was followed by her role as creative director of Pringle of Scotland in 2005.

Clare Waight Keller is the woman responsible for transforming heritage label Pringle of Scotland into a contemporary fashion brand since she was appointed creative director.

 Her first collection as the head of Chloé will be presented in September 2011 in Paris during the capital’s next Fashion Week.

Working hard

Working on the right thing is probably more important than working hard.

So true, so chose carefully what you want and go for it.

Do you have one?

I always look for a woman who has a tattoo.  I see a woman with a tattoo, and I'm thinking, okay, here's a gal who's capable of making a decision she'll regret in the future.
